Dem Rep. Launches ‘I Heart ObamaCare’ Campaign

Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., is on a mission to make Barack Obama "a better president."

“I’m sure he realized what he was getting into,” Conyers said Monday during a speech to the National Press Club. “He tried to close Guantanamo; he was against tax cuts to the wealthy; we keep getting a longer and longer list of things that he wanted to do, wished he could do, and of course is having a big problem."

"The only thing that saves him, of course, is there doesn’t seem to be anybody to run against him next year,” Conyers admitted.

But in preparing for Obama's 2012 reelection bid, Conyers says a Republican victory is "unthinkable," and "I just want to make him a better president."

As part of these efforts, Conyers announced plans to try re-branding "ObamaCare," President Obama's landmark health care overhaul law which a majority of Americans would like to see repealed. Holding up a red-and-white button that read, "I [heart logo] ObamaCare," Conyers said he hoped to turn the "derogatory" ObamaCare label into a political victor "the president will be remembered for."

"We not only proclaim that we love ObamaCare, but there are 62 reasons for you to at least like it, somewhere among the 62," the Judiciary Ranking Democrat and Dean of Congressional Black Caucus declared.

In addition, Conyers noted his support for ObamaCare as a “platform” for a building single-payer health system in the U.S.
