Calling something the "Bush tax cuts" is a still-english shortening of a long bill name: "Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003" Wikipedia even mentions that this is the commonly used name. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jobs_and_Growth_Tax_Relief_Reconciliation_Act_of_2003 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jobs_and_Growth_Tax_Relief_Reco... Obamacare is a non-english dog-whistle slur. If you look around online, you will see that pretty much the only people who use that name are politically right-leaning. Perhaps someday it will ameliorate to be the accepted popular name of the bill but right now it is contentious. The same thing happened with Hillarycare. I don't think you would hear much complaint if they called it the "Obama health care plan".
