Citizen’s Affordable Care Act = CACA

[MissMagnolia]

“He [McDonough] gave us the impression that he’s taking charge of the different elements and cracking the whip. He said to let him know if we had concerns,” said a Democratic senator who attended the meeting.

I wonder how ValJar feels about that since she wears the 'big boy' pants in the WH.

Sen. Franken was found de-stressing in his office after the meeting

[Joe Brower]

Awww, isn't that a shame -- Obama's army of lickspittles are 'upset'. Poor dears.

With any luck, maybe they'll all suffer a collective stroke. It would serve them right.

[dan on the right]

And all that bad will they worked so hard to foster against the GOP, gone, gone, gone.

And all that bad will is being fiercely redirected to the Administration and the Dems. One, just one, of these “frustrated Democratic Senators” could have stopped this disastrous law.

They own it! Let them enjoy it. Then, they can watch its destruction along with theirs!

"Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) told colleagues the White House and Democratic lawmakers need to do a better job telling positive stories about the Affordable Care Act.

"She lamented that insurance companies have had it “both ways” by blaming ObamaCare for rising premiums and reaping millions of new customers because of the law, according to a lawmaker who attended the meeting. "

Totally retarded she is.

Wish the Pubbies would shut the government down next time around until all the carve outs are eliminated.

RE :”She lamented that insurance companies have had it “both ways” by blaming ObamaCare for rising premiums and reaping millions of new customers because of the law, according to a lawmaker who attended the meeting.”

those no good insurance companies, its all their fault.

“Don’t raise the bridge. Lower the river.” Revealed in every one of those statements, is the bizarre, almost other worldly, thought process directing every Leftist Dem. God help us. How did these people ever get into power?

[Venturer]

Funny: They vent their frustration at Obama’s flunky, but when Obama is there they are frightened to open their mouths except to plant a French kiss on his buttocks.

What a pack of scum.

Lawmakers discussed a proposal by Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) to let people keep their health plans, even if they fall short of the requirements set under the new law...

Oh sure, propose that now, after the horse has left the barn.

[Servant of the Cross]

Democratic senators facing reelection in 2014 were some of the most vocal critics.

One lawmaker described Sens. Al Franken (D-Minn.) and Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) as visibly “agitated.”

Shaheen demanded to know why the rollout of HealthCare.gov had become so riddled with problems.

Lawmakers discussed a proposal by Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) to let people keep their health plans, even if they fall short of the requirements set under the new law, according to another lawmaker in the room.

Landrieu expects several Democrats to co-sponsor the proposal.

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) told reporters that he plans to sign onto Landrieu’s bill.

Sen. Mark Pryor (D-Ark.), who faces a tough race next year, said he is in the midst of reviewing a draft.

Hey! No one told me when I got the 2nd LA Purchase backroom deal for my vote. I just read about this in the news like you ….

SCHADENFREUDE! SCHADENFRUEDE! Seeing such ‘visibly agitated’ democRATS gives me a feeling of …..

And here are the SEVEN democRAT senators running (or retiring) in states that even Mitt Romney won in 2012 ......

Begich (AK)
Pryor (AR)
Landrieu (LA)
Baucus (MT)
Hagan (NC)
Johnson (SD)
Rockefeller (WV)

Squirm, baby, squirm.

Senator Claire McCaskill? The same liar who especially helped the Indonesian, Barak Hussein Obama, claim citizenship? That Claire McCaskill? Do not believe one word out of her droopy mouth!

[AMDG&BVMH]

“I don’t think there is confidence by anybody in the room.”

nor in the rest of the country . . .

so what is their fall back plan (and I don’t mean single payer even if that is what they want and will try to do next —)

I mean what will they SAY on Dec. 1st?
Their spin and lies aren’t fooling people any more.

Or are they making it up as they go along?

Pretend it will be fine on 1 Dec and roll out the marketing plan to bring in the young healthy people? who have another whole month to figure out they are the suckers and a slick marketing plan is not going to fool them?

Offer to delay penalties but with no provisions for the people who lost their coverage to get any COVERAGE never mind freedom from penalties. People who lost the plans they liked will be uninsured which they do not like? Pass the If You Like Your Plan you can Keep it?

Not mere curiosity. They always scheme in dark rooms and pop up with a totally unified message to hit the airways, and our opposition is caught off guard.

Each of THEIR possible proposals come 1 Dec has to be brain stormed NOW for the appropriate counter measures and counter message.

“Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) told colleagues the White House and Democratic lawmakers need to do a better job telling positive stories about the Affordable Care Act.”

Then she can tell us positive stories about the Washington Redskins.

[Hoffer Rand]

Notice they didn’t get to meet with King iWon Thinskin or the Gorn who’s actually running things. So, basically, the WH just shined them on, and they’re too clueless to see that.

[Don Corleone]

McDonough tried to assure angry senators he is personally taking charge of the disparate federal offices in charge of implementing the massive law, which has been plagued by technical errors.

Like the first officer on the Titanic telling the band to play "Nearer My God to Thee?"

[Repealthe17thAmendment]

I wonder where they got the November 30 date for the website. My guess is that they just pulled it out of the air. Every software expert that I've heard comment on it says it will take a long time to fix; some have even said it might need to be completely scrubbed and started over from scratch.

November 30TH? We'll see!
