Mitt Romney said Wednesday that he considers it "a compliment" for President Barack Obama to refer to him as the "grandfather of Obamacare."

It was an odd comment, given the fact that Romney, the Republican nominee for president, is running on a promise to repeal the law. But it was an apparent case of Romney misspeaking slightly, not a shift in policy positions, since immediately afterward at Univision's "Meet the Candidate" forum he went into a long exposition of why he thinks Obama's national health care law is wrongheaded.
