Romney is phoney but not funny

Lots of people are amused by Mitt Romney's denunciation of Obamacare, close cousin to Romneycare. Joe Klein finds it hilarious.  And there is something Onionesque in the consistency with which Romney denounces everything he said and did before 2006.

But look at what Romney said. It's not funny:

America has just witnessed an unconscionable abuse of power. President Obama has betrayed his oath to the nation — rather than bringing us together, ushering in a new kind of politics, and rising above raw partisanship, he has succumbed to the lowest denominator of incumbent power: justifying the means by extolling the ends. He promised better; we deserved better.

This is beyond disgusting and into dangerous. Betrayed his oath - that's incitement, in effect an accusation of treason against the President for effecting the passage of legislation fulfilling his signature campaign promise. It's an attempt to cast legislation that will pass through our Constitution's "triple veto" -- with a 60-vote Senate majority for the main bill, no less -- not as ill-considered but as illegitimate.
