Melissa Harris-Perry: Saying ‘ObamaCare’ Is the Same as Using the N-Word

"But no matter how many successes that he had as president, he realized there were still many people for whom he’d never be anything more than that one disparaging word. A belief he knew was held not just by his political opponents, but also by a significant portion of the American electorate.

And so he decided, if you can’t beat them, you’ve got to join them. And he embraced the word and made it his own, sending his opposition a message they weren’t expecting -- 'if that’s what you want me to be, I’ll be that.' Y’all know the word that I’m talking about. ObamaCare. That's right! I said it and I’m not ashamed and neither is President Obama. Because he knows that of all his victories over two terms in office, his legacy is ultimately going to be remembered for this one single word."
