• Mitt Romney wins BuzzFlash's GOP Hypocrite of the Week Award for Slamming 'Obamacare' While Taking Pride in Romneycare. Romney offers no apology for the supposed abuse of power that apparently is Mass-Care. Instead he offers a mass scare, insinuating that the country might just disintegrate because a plan that he personally signed off on is going national.

• "Besides, you're missing the point. If you can't assume power until sometime down the line, you mess up the other guy's game so that he can't govern. Remember? The Republicans did that to Bill Clinton; if they had been lucky enough to convict him in the Senate, great. But by impeaching him they had accomplished their main goal of breaking whatever momentum Clinton had and made sure he couldn't be an effective president. Obama is the current target. Mess him up, cripple his programs, refuse his nominees, drown him in major and petty complaints and smears, take him to court, whatever. If and when he falters, push him into the mud and make sure he stays there."
