Well now it's time -- look at who is not good news.

-- -- About the president's health care law is The Big Talker this morning yes Charles Krauthammer responding to the presidential hopefuls comment saying that the Romney campaign is.

Missed playing the situation.

The Romney campaign.

Which otherwise is solid -- a lot of professionals and and he's so a guy.

Completely misunderstood what's at stake here.

Romney is obsessed with trying to show that what -- did -- Massachusetts.

Was okay because he's obsessed with people saying.

If he doesn't have ceremony -- -- even and even in the details.

Of what he called the mandate.

That he'll be accused of being a guy who flips and flops.

Instead of just ignoring that ignoring what anybody would say about Massachusetts.

Who cares about that -- handed by the Supreme Court.

This notion that at the heart of obamacare is attacks.

And it is attacks three quarters -- which ends up falling on people of the very middle income under -- 120000.

And he blows it -- at the beginning to mandate ballots attacks she looks as if there's an internal debate within his it is his campaign.

And and he not only didn't take advantage of something he was handed.

He turned into a negative.

And while Texas senator Kay Bailey Hutchison disagrees with that point.

Saying that she thinks that Romney has done a good job stating his job position listen -- -- I think he's done a very good job of drawing the issues about Obama and this campaign is about.

Obama's record.

And the high unemployment.

The over regulation the taxes that are going out at the end of this year.

And and Obama health care which is a massive government overreach that is the issue in this campaign.

Now I do think dead Mitt Romney has said that he is going to do some specific things -- -- he said on the first day.

Will ask congress to repeal obamacare will start all over will go step by step will give more access to people for affordable health care.

And we will keep some of the good parts but we are not going to have.

The high taxes on business and individuals that Obama care passed period he's been very specific.

The senator also saying that this campaign is about Obama's record and that this country needs change change which Romney.

Can bring.
