Obama supreme court

  • (CNN) – President Barack Obamas campaign spokesman said Thursday that Obama disagrees with the Supreme Courts characterization of his health care laws individual mandate as a tax.
  • (CNN)
  • He said he wouldnt raise taxes on middle-income Americans, and not only did he raise the $500 billion that was already in the bill, its now clear that his mandate, as described by the Supreme Court, is a tax, Romney said of Obama.

  • But Obama, whose campaign was reeling a month ago, has largely righted the ship. His immigration reform measure proved popular — especially in swing states — and he received a major victory last week when the Supreme Court upheld his national health care law.

  • This would appear to explain why President Obamas poll numbers have spiked since the US Supreme Court rejected the right-wing fantasy that the Affordable Care Act was unconstitutional.

  • But the thrust of the criticism was over how Romney has handled the week after the Supreme Court upheld Obama's health care law.
  • (Boston Globe)
  • The U.S. Supreme Court has spoken, and has stated that the health care law is legal on the basis that it imposes a tax. President Barack Obama, only hours after the decision, went on television and did not describe the individual mandate as a tax.

  • The Obama administration is asking the Supreme Court to settle the legal fight over a law that denies federal benefits to married gay couples.
  • (New York Times)
  • President Obama's campaign claims to have outraised Mitt Romney in online donations since the Supreme Court's 5-4 decision to uphold the president's health law was handed down. But they won't say by how much.
  • (ABC News)
  • With the U.S. Supreme Court upholding the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act on June 28, voters are guaranteed to continue hearing the same old false claims about the law from politicians.
