Folks,
Congratulation to the Judges for making President Obama Administration with the rest of America proud…….
Although Mitt Romney criticized Obamacare, he has not offered specifics or provided memorundum of what he would do in the White House beyond saying Obamacare was a “bad policy”.
It has taken America’s previous leadership 60 years to re-structure or improve the healthcare that has become a pain and a burden to many disadvantaged Americans.
This is a win-win to President Obama realizing that the President took leadership and provided a balance to steady the economy of the country when America’s economiy had crashed. Romney’s business idiologies including his partners in business were responsible for shipping jobs to China and Pakistan and this contributed heavilly to the down-turn fall of economic crisis of the country.
Although Romney insisted, Obamacare was a “moral failure”, he had no evidence to prove that. The Court rulling has now proved Romney was wrong in criticizing the Obamacare. President Obama demonstrate to the Americans and the world that he truely deserves a second chance so he can put America on top of the world as a mirrow and a show-case of success.
I am so happy and thrilled, this serves as a truely good news………..
Cheers everybody……

Supreme Court upholds Obamacare
If there were cheers or clinking of champagne glasses in the West Wing when the Supreme Court upheld President Barack Obama’s landmark health care overhaul, they were awfully quiet. But maybe not for long: Obama “will speak in the next few hours,” an administration official told Yahoo News.
The president had been scheduled to be in the Oval Office with Vice President Joe Biden when the ruling came down, but reporters seeking out press secretary ay Carney shortly after 10 am were delayed by Secret Service in the West Wing as Obama apparently made his way there from the residence section of the White House, according to an aide.
But while Obama kept quiet, Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who drove the law to passage in the House by the narrowest of margins, took to Twitter to declare victory.
“Victory for the American people! Millions of American families and children will have certainty of health care benefits + affordable care,” she tweeted.
Supreme Court upholds Obamacare individual mandate as a tax
By Liz Goodwin, Yahoo! News | The Ticket – 52 mins ago
In a victory for President Barack Obama, the Supreme Court decided to uphold his signature health care law’s individual insurance mandate in a 5-4 decision, upending speculation after hostile-seeming oral arguments in March that the justices would overturn the law. The mandate has been upheld as a tax, according to SCOTUSblog, with Chief Justice John Roberts joining the liberal wing of the court. Tom Goldstein of SCOTUSblog says Roberts’ vote “saved” the Affordable Care Act.
Justice Anthony Kennedy, usually the court’s swing vote, dissented, reading from the bench that he and three conservative justices believe “the entire Act before us is invalid in its entirety.”
The court’s four liberal justices agreed that the individual mandate should be upheld as part of Congress’ power to regulate interstate commerce, but Roberts disagreed, and wrote that the mandate is actually a tax, despite the Obama administration’s reluctance to describe it that way during the bill’s passage.
