Schumer’s post-mortem: Democrats must ‘embrace government’ -- "Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Tuesday said the Democratic Party must make a better effort to win over the middle class if it is to rebound from a disastrous midterm election.

Schumer in a speech at the National Press Club urged Democrats to embrace their identity of seeing government as a solution for stagnating middle-class incomes. He warned that in defeat, the party must avoid recasting itself as a different version of the Republican Party......."

Sounds to me like Schumer is setting the stage and making the case for repeal. If so, then I applaud his honesty.

Schumer’s running for President....

Maybe Schumer can explain away this one too...

If Schumer actually believes this, he doesn’t understand Obama. Obamacare was the absolute cornerstone of Obama’s socialist agenda and regulatory administration.

Oh no you don’t!

Hey Chuck! You a$$hats insisted Obamacare WOULD help the economy. It would put MORE money into the middle class wallets by SAVING them so much. It WOULD bring down the cost of health insurance across the board, and that would creat jobs and grow the economy.

You don’t get a 20/20, armchair quarterback do over now. You communists pushed this through on Christmas Eve using a tax legislation trick called “reconciliation”. You had to change the name of a previously passed bill that was unrelated and already approved to call it reconcilliation. Democrats subverted the letter and intent of all legilative rules and our constitution to RAM this $hit down the the throats of Americans against the majority will.

No, Sir. Democrats need to just keep chewing the fat on this one. Good luck getting the stink off.

Too late a$$hat. You can possibly rehab your legacy as an a$$hat if you were to aid republicans to dismantle the Obala abomination.

Make no mistake, Schumer wanted Healthcare reform; but he is correct in noting they should not have focused on that issue in 2009/2010. He is absolutely correct when he says 85% of the American people were already getting their Healthcare through their employers.
Luckily for the Republicans they did! Can you imagine where we would be if the first two years of Obama he passed immigration reform, and lots of other liberal welfare goodies.
Once more than 50% of the population in on the govt dole they will never vote republican

He said the plight of uninsured Americans caused by “unfair insurance company practices”

I think he means charging higher premiums to people who are sick, or otherwise in bad shape.

Schumer says Democrats “blew the opportunity the American people gave them” in the 2008 elections, a Democratic landslide, by focusing on healthcare reform instead of legislation to boost the middle class.

Let me translate: "We should have passed amnesty first"

Interesting. Seems the Dems ARE getting the blame for the destruction of the middle class AFTER all!

They don’t get another opportunity to blow it again.
