Yet you were the one who quibbled about "have to" vs "should".
You're the one who turned that into a non-existant mandate
Why? Because you fear a mandate.
Fear of one, even if that were the case, is not stating that there was one on the table
And my point all along was that he wasn't mandating anything
SO THE HELL WAS MINE.
that he was saying nothing different than the rising tides raises all ships quotations of Reagan and JFK.
Which, most illuminatingly, you have yet to provide even one example of any conservative, or even modern Republican President, using their bully pulpit to tell corporate america what they "have to " do. We DO have a current President that ramrodded Obamacare down our throats, because we apparently had to have it.

Right. That is why you went into the whole in light of his track record rant.
Your opinion on "rant" not withstanding, it still doesn't excuse your blatant misrepresentation and diengenuous tactics at claiming what I was supposedly saying. Be it about business policy or non-existant mandates. I made that clear page 1, and here we are page 4, and you're still pushing the same garbage. That's all you big fella
