Obama campaign against a mandate and against new taxes. Since the mandate exists no matter how the issue is evaluated they can actually use both as the USSC has decreed it is a tax.

I wish they would just call it a tax. Not for political purposes, but to underline the fact that Judge Roberts just made constitutional a gigantic tax omnibus that originated in the Senate and not, as per the Constitution, the House. Article 1, Section 7: "All bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives"
