WOODBRIDGE, Va. — In his first Spanish-language spot heading into the general election, Mitt Romney vowed to end “Obamacare’’ on Day One of his presidency — a bold and risky message he continues to deliver to Latino voters, who overwhelmingly back the federal health care law.
President Obama, meanwhile, hopes the intense concern over health care issues expressed by Latinos will help coalesce his support among the critical voting bloc. To extol the benefits of his health care law, the president’s reelection campaign has rolled out Spanish-language ads in states where Latinos make up a significant portion of the electorate, including Florida and Colorado.

Whenever republicans start blathering about "empowering families and doctors" and saving us from "Washington bureaucrats" you can bet the benefit to you is zilch, nothing, zero.
Who wants a president that is so stupid he tells people he wants to take things away?

Isn't it supposed to be free? So nobody pays.
Romney is blasting ObamaCare but when he was in Israel recently he touted the Israeli health care system, which is largely subsidized by government. So Mitt, what is it exactly that you oppose?
Any realistic projection indicates that the Democrats will retain 41+ seats, and conceivably a majority, in the Senate. Harry Reid--whose term ends in 2016--will have a lot of influence, over enough votes to forestall cloture on any measure of which he strongly disapproves. Unless Romney is able to "reach across the aisle", and deter a significant number of Democrats from opposing cloture, enactment of repeal would appear to be out of the question. We need to remember that ObamaCare was enacted to deal with significant problems, involving availability of insurance to high-risk individuals. Any replacement ought to allow insurors to underwrite as they see fit, and provide premium subsidies for such individuals.
A very gutsy move by Mr. 1 Percent, telling Latinos--in Spanish, no less--that he's going to do something they overwhelmingly oppose. Let's hope all his ad buys are this astute!
Globe says " a bold and risky message he continues to deliver to Latino voters, who overwhelmingly back the federal health care law."-----Exactly what is RISKY about it? Perhaps it is "Risky" to the Boston Globe, who would prefer that Mitt not campaign at all......And all Mitt has to do is to show Hispanics some of the EXACT PASSAGES in the law.---Like the absolute power that HHS Secreatary Kathleen Sibelius will have...Or the REAL COST of the "Medicaid healthcare Exchanges" (After 1 year, the "Free Money" from the Feds ends, and the states are stuck with the bill). And the BILL is coming RIGHT NOW in MA.---And in MA the new power that Donald Berwick, and the Harvard School of Public health will have over your healthcare. And your local doctor will refuse to accept Medicaid patients, if he wants to stay in business Also Mitt can show a few articles from the WSJ like:---http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10000872396390443343704577553172506961212.html?KEYWORDS=coming+to+a+state+near+you-----from yesterday's WSJ------ and from today's WSJ..... http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10000872396390443687504577563000563259044.html?mod=ITP_opinion_2
