Who was that man, and what has he done with Mitt Romney? The Republican presidential nominee was more cheerful, more prepared, more specific, more informed and more energetic than President Obama tonight, resulting in a genuine rout. Romney seemed eager to answer every question, Obama looked peeved and sluggish. For every straw man argument the president raised, his challenger offered a lengthy and detailed rebuttal, in full command of the facts.

I can recall when Republicans decried Medicare as an unconstitutional power grab by the state.

The problem is that even though Medicare IS an unconstitutional power grab, now that we have had it in place for 50 years you can't just end it and cut people off who depend on it and haven't taken the time to plan for their own future medical needs while they were still young.
