On Monday, Mitt Romney's top adviser, Eric Fehrnstrom and spokesperson Andrea Saul said that Romney agreed with President Obama that the individual mandate was a penalty.
On Wednesday, Romney told CBS News he agrees with the Supreme Court that the individual mandate is a tax.
On Thursday, Romney claimed the Romneycare mandate is a penalty because he called it a penalty, and the Obamacare mandate is a tax because the Supreme Court called it a tax.
Can the Romneycare and Obamacare mandates, which are virtually identical, be two different things simultaneously? Or is this just an exercise in smoke-screen semantics?
Mitt needs your help! Put on your flip-flops and help lead Mitt through the Mandate Maze!
