President Obama is “not concerned” about political fallout from the Affordable Care Act because he’s confident that the law will ultimately be politically beneficial to his allies, White House press secretary Jay Carney said Wednesday not long after the president finished meeting with a group of worried Senate Democrats.
Obama is focused on delivering on the law’s promises and is “not concerned about the politics of that,” Carney told reporters traveling with the president to Dallas, where he will thank volunteers helping inform communities about the law before speaking at two fundraisers for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
But it's not that Obama is ignoring the politics of the situation. He just believes that the delivery of “access to affordable, quality health care … is a policy that makes for good politics,” Carney said. “That’s why he’s focused on good policy and he believes that from that, supporters can take heart.”
Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and other senior aides spent two hours on Wednesday meeting with Senate Democrats up for reelection in 2014, who voiced concerns that problems with the rollout of the law could be damaging to their chances next November.

And this is, no doubt, why all his allies are madly running away from him.
It’s installed. The rest is just details.
Of course he’s not concerned..this is what he wants..Communist medicine..people getting canceled from their plans makes him extremely happy because he knows that means those people will be forced to go on Govt run health care, the more the better..remember what Obama said, in Canada, single payer didnt happen right away, took some time..Obama is trying to make that “Take some time” and turn it into overnight
It’s getting to the point where FR needs a daily impeachment thread and associated ping list.
“...the law will ultimately be politically beneficial to his allies...”
Translation: “More Free-Government-Sh*t coming soon!!!”
Of course he doesn’t care! HE’s already in office, the country is screwed, the lapdog media is still hardly reporting on his deception.
obozo is okay with 140 million hard working citizens losing their insurance and subsequently paying a lot more so that 20 million or so uninsured can get free coverage.
Effing POS. As is anyone who supports this monstrosity.
Very true. There is a huge amount of “administrative rule” and “administrative discretion” in this “law”. A “law” which has been repeatedly illegally modified by Obama’s decree.
A dicktator has no concern for the little people, only one person will ever be worthy of his attention and that is the dick, er tator himself.
Campaign, golf, and lie.
See?...Presidentin’ ain’t so hard after all!
The Obama administration lied through their teeth to get this bill passed and the Dems in the Senate and House bit on his lies or were part them. This is simple fact.
Today, I am convinced that Obama is going to hold on hard for the next three years....no matter what carnage is wrought on the Democratic Party...or more importantly on the country. Obamacare is his ‘achievement.’ Period!! There will be no compromise, no delay, no fixing, no anything.
Today was a good window into Obama’s political plans for the next three years: hunker down with his most fervent supporters (8th grade drop-outs, the unmotivated, the unaccomplished, the unsuccessful, the angry, the aggrieved, the guilty white people, and the victim class) for the next three years and ride out the political sh-t storm he’s created.
Neither low poll numbers, angry democratic senators, mocking comedians, huge deficits, broken websites, nor angry Americans will move President Obama on this stance. Period.
The only thing that could possibly bring change to this law is a veto proof majority from both houses demanding change. But Obama probably has something on enough of the folks in congress (remember the NSA stuff is in his hands), so that is not even that likely to happen even if the public demands that it happen. In short, we are owned!!
So, absent an unlikely act of congress, it’s full speed ahead with Obamacare.....poll numbers, public opinion, and medical dissaster be damned. Get used to it. It’s our fate for the next three years. Period!!!
they are?
why would they run from Obama when nobody stands up to this thug?
Thanks tobyhill.
Obama further alters ‘you can keep your plan’ pledge (Obama continues the lie after lie after lie)

Obama is “not concerned†because he faces no more elections, & House/Senate Democrats are in so deep with his corruption they will never turn on him. Beyond that, politicians never admit they are wrong.
So who wrote it?
My guess is parts of it were written by the Insurance Industry - trade-offs for their support. It'll give 'em something to think about from under the bus - where Obama's gonna throw them soon. "Hmmm, how could we have done this differently if only we could go back in time...."
