Now, I’m not a medical doctor but I do want to go over some of the symptoms with you because I want to make sure nobody else catches it. If you say you’re for equal pay for equal work, but you keep refusing to say whether or not you’d sign a bill that protects equal pay for equal work – you might have Romnesia. If you say women should have access to contraceptive care, but you support legislation that would let your employer deny you contraceptive care – you might have a case of Romnesia. If you say you’ll protect a woman’s right to choose, but you stand up at a primary debate and said that you’d be “delighted” to sign a law outlawing that right to choose in all cases – man, you’ve definitely got Romnesia. Now, this extends to other issues. If you say earlier in the year I’m going to give a tax cut to the top 1 percent and then in a debate you say, I don’t know anything about giving tax cuts to rich folks – you need to get a thermometer, take your temperature, because you’ve probably got Romnesia. If you say that you’re a champion of the coal industry when while you were Governor you stood in front of a coal plant and said, this plant will kill you – that’s some Romnesia. So – I think you’re beginning to be able to identify these symptoms. And if you come down with a case of Romnesia, and you can’t seem to remember the policies that are still on your website, or the promises you’ve made over the six years you’ve been running for President, here’s the good news: Obamacare covers pre-existing conditions.

Originally Posted By DyGDisney In the first debate, Romney called it "Obamacare" then said something to Obama about it, I can't remember but like he wasn't sure if he should have used that term in front of the President, and Obama said told him it's ok, he likes it.
Originally Posted By Dr Hans Reinhardt Obama's got his mojo back. I think he's been hanging out with Bill Clinton a lot lately, because he's starting to pick up his demeanor. Man, I sure would love to sit down for a couple of drinks with those two.

Going into the second debate, this had steadily fallen to 71%. Now with the post-second-debate polls coming in, the tide has turned once again, and he's back up to a predicted 74% of winning as of now.
