I suppose it officially makes me a horrible person that my only thoughts on the passing of Nelson Mandela are to wonder how liberals in America will spin it as an offense to the man's memory to criticize Obamacare. I'm guessing that already someone at MSNBC has attempted the magical rhetorical feat and that Dear Leader's dutiful speech writers are hard at work figuring ingenious ways to insinuate this message without looking crass. Yeah, I'm a damn awful person - but, hey, let's admit it, my cynical take is probably bang on. Worst part is, there's no doubt many a lefty out there who would consider the linking of the two things entirely legitimate - hell, would consider it gospel truth to imagine Obama as nothing less than an extension of Mandela's noble cause - this is why you'll often hear liberals talking about the Obama presidency as if his performance in the job is beside the point.
