    • ]]>     Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney acknowledging the crowd before speaking at the Chase Auditorium in Chicago, in this photo taken Wednesday, March 24, 2010. None of the potential 2012 Republican presidential candidates has been more aggressive than Romney in criticizing the new health care overhaul. Then again, none shares his vulnerability on the issue. The new law bears striking similarities to one the former Massachusetts governor signed in 2006, and that's creating an uncomfortable straddle for Romney as his party makes attacking 'Obamacare' its primary message this midterm year. (AP Photo/Charles Cherney)AP – Mitt Romney has a problem with Obamacare. It looks a lot like Romneycare. The prospective Republican presidential candidate’s vulnerability on the issue was evident this week, when he was interrupted during a tour for his new book by a woman upset with the Massachusetts health care law Romney signed as governor in 2006. That law has some of the same core features as the federal law President Barack Obama, a Democrat, signed on Tuesday.
