Not convincing, even one bit. First he says that Obama wanted to turn USA into France, then discovers that this did not happen, hence Obama lost and Tea Party won. What if Obama did not want to turn United States into France?
As for the prediction that people will be unhappy with Obamacare and will blame the Dems for it, I doubt this will have a significant effect. Despite what the conservatives say, most people are not affected by it at all (they continue to get their insurance from the employers), and among those who are, there are quite a few who would not have any insurance at all under the "ancien regime" (like the working poor who are now going to be covered by Medicaid, or people with pre-existing conditions). They will be happy to have medical insurance whatever the drawbacks are. And by the way, why does the author assume that the government now owns medical care? This is just propaganda which has little to do with reality. Medical care is provided by the same doctors as before, working for the same companies, and is being paid for by the same private insurance companies, or by Medicare and Medicaid. If the government owns medical care now, it is also did so before the Obamacare became law.
In other words, Obamacare is not nearly as important as Rush Limbaugh or Ted Cruz would want us to believe.
