"The White House has lived in fear of this moment, and the administration's biggest problem is that it has no quick bandage for this bleed. Healthcare.gov is weeks or months from being fixed—if it is fixable at all. Enrollment numbers will thus remain dismal. The insurance horror stories are only beginning. The congressional hearings, too.
================================================
THIS IS THE PART I LIKE BEST: After vowing not to cave, Democrats who unanimously voted for O/Care are frantically running for cover----caving in every way, shape and form.
The story of O/Cares unrivaled disaster dominates.
FOR EXAMPLE Hundreds of thousands of Americans' health-insurance policies canceled. Companies dumping coverage and cutting employees' hours. Premiums skyrocketing.
Democratic consultants were once advising power-mad Democrats that their best O/Care strategy for 2014 was to "own" the law.
Now, as the O/Care horror story unfolds, advisors are being told what to do w/ that cockamamie strategy.
===============================
Obama's the First One to claim credit.......and never accepts responsibility....... and his infamous Rose Garden speech WRT the failed system was not exactly the Obamacare mea culpa some had predicted......liberal Wash/Po blogger Ezra Klein tweeted, “....seems weirdly similar to a speech Obama would’ve given if the exchanges were working fine."
========================================================
Now, you have to ask yourself----why did "His Greatness" heave himself into the Rose Garden to speak to his subjects?
I refer now to "Rush's Theorem": Oboohoo endlessly golfs and vacays b/c he can't appear to be governing. B/c he would have to take responsibility when things go wrong.
Precisely what's happened here----he's hog-tied like a squealing pig to Obamacare---w/ all it's flops and failures. So he's forced to address his subjects to reassure them he's as great as he told them he is.
================================================
Obama promised to reveal the number of enrollees in his
signature healthcare plan which Obama promised would
“fundamentally transform the United States of America.”
"I'm working on it right now."
