Two days after the Supreme Court handed down its landmark ruling on President Obama’s signature legislation, the president delivered his weekly radio address and didn’t utter one word about Obamacare or the ruling.

One day later, when asked by Chris Wallace whether Obamacare “must clear another hurdle in the November election” (which of course it must), Obama’s Chief of Staff Jack Lew replied, “You know, Chris, one thing that’s great about our system is that when the Supreme Court rules, we have a final answer.” - Jeffrey H. Anderson/Weekly Standard

...Lew then fancifully added, “I think the thing that the American people want is for the divisive debate on health care to stop.”

These examples show how much Obama wants his centerpiece legislation to be a central part of the campaign — which is about all one needs to know about how much Mitt Romney should want it to be a central part of the campaign.
