Just goes to show how out of touch the Democratic party is with the rest of America.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Democrats at the podium of the party’s national convention are fully — and finally — embracing President Obama’s signature healthcare law, and liberal lawmakers are applauding the move.

On Tuesday’s opening night, speaker after speaker championed the 2010 Affordable Care Act, a trumpeting that was striking for a law that top Democrats had largely sidelined because of its lingering unpopularity with the public.

As Obama seeks re-election, his allies have returned to heralding the law as a historic and courageous political achievement. A few speakers on Tuesday even adopted the “Obamacare” label that Republicans have long used to deride the legislation.

“For us Democrats, Obamacare is a badge of honor,” proclaimed Kathleen Sebelius, secretary of Health and Human Services. “Because no matter who you are, what stage of life you’re in, this law is a good thing.”
