“Remain calm.”
So said Nancy Pelosi in response to the Great Democrat Panic of 2013 over the general public’s reaction to the realities of Obamacare.
Democrats are in a tizzy, feigning shock and indignation because the law is doing precisely what it was designed to do – kick people off of their existing insurance plans in order to subsidize the new government insurance scheme, despite Obama’s promises to the contrary. Worse, the same government that managed to put a man on the moon (several times) and can read your emails, text messages and listen in on your phone calls can't build a website to sell insurance.
About the only thing that could make it worse would be if using the website gave you rickets.
The panic dam officially burst when Bill Clinton gave worried Democrats cover to bail on Obama by saying “the president should honor the commitment the federal government made to these people and let them keep what they got.” Within days thirty-nine House Democrats ignored a White House veto threat and supported a Republican bill to allow insurance companies to continue selling the old policies.
As a famous Chicago pastor might put it, Obamacare's political chickens are coming home to roost.
Even before the fiasco with the website Americans have been split over Obamacare, with those opposed to it outnumbering those in favor of it in most every poll conducted since the law was passed.
According to the latest Quinnipiac poll, just a month ago both Obama and Obamacare were at about 45% approval; today they’re both at 39%, the lowest ever. Only 36% of Americans approve of Obama’s handling of health care in general, and 54% disapprove of his overall job performance. (READ MORE....)

Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats
Single payer socialized medicine a la Britain is the goal. Wash, rinse, repeat!
Looks like this is a Mess the MSM can’t spin its way out of. What was Obama and his goons thinking? Ultimatly, this is a boondogle the Democrats will need to solve or they will go the way of the Whigs and become a non-party. There isn’t enough black/union votes to keep them in power. They got to get Obama out of power. Being linked to Single payer—socialized medicine will not win elections—no people in power—no bucks. All the bfancy talk will not save them. all the scapegoats, and the rest will not keep them at the levers of power—They let an idiot and a team of Progressive-Socialist goons ruin their chances of doing anything lasting—save for wrecking the Democrat Party.
