"Obamacare was off the charts, was wrong. It taxed too much, has mandates that are probably unconstitutional, and it's not the way to go. And it was rammed through," said Crist, who has previously said both that he would support a repeal of the law and that he would seek to fix, but not repeal it, because it has some good things.
And in another attempt to put a gap between himself and the president, Crist also criticized Obama for not following through on his promise of working with both parties.
"The president started out originally saying I'm going to work across the aisle — 'I'm going to reach across the aisle and make sure that we get everybody involved in the solutions that matter to the people of America,'" Crist said. "It hasn't happened. It needs to happen."
