And so it begins, talking points from "news outlets", touting the "recovering economy" and steering the sheeple away from Obamacare. But, as the article says, Republicans are putting all their eggs in the healthcare basket at least up until they see they can't win on that issue alone.

perhaps the repubican party needs to quote Lenin....on so called helathcare?

From the article “If by November the president’s plan, his signature domestic initiative, hasn’t recovered from its stumbling start, odds favor Republicans ...”

Let me just say that if this thing is still such a hash by Nov, 2014 we are going to have bigger problems than just the fate of the politicians, of either party.

If on the other hand, the ACA lives up to Obama’s sales pitch — with enrollees in vast numbers entering the system with relative ease and moderate premium costs

So, by January 5, we have the best joke of the year. None others need apply.

likely to determine the fate of the Obama presidency

Oh? There's really a big difference between abject failure and "unmitigated disaster?"

Obama illegally delayed the ACA employer mandate until 2015. It’s illegal because the President has no power to change a law by executive action. He did it to postpone the employer mandate until after the 2014 midterm elections. I don’t think the postponement will be enough to hide the bad things to come with the mandate. Companies and public organizations have already begun to reduce full time employees to part time. Layoffs will follow to get under 50 full time equivalents (FTEs). The cut off is 30 hours and 50 FTEs. Other companies may just dump offering health care altogether and pay the penalty. This summer will be ugly as more and more employers prepare for the mandate.
