Barack Obama blames the lack of Republican cooperation for the failure of his healthcare bill, according to comments he made on last night’s "60 Minutes" TV program. Sitting down with Steve Kroft two days after his self-described "shellacking" this past Tuesday, Obama attempted to make it appear as if he sort of, kind of understood what the American people were plainly communicating to him when they fired a whole heck of a lot of Democrats in the midterms. However, Obama’s insistence to still shift the blame to the Republicans even now, when it should be 100% clear to him that it was his fault and his party’s fault for pushing through a hugely unpopular bill, verifies that he still has not learned anything from the midterm "shellacking." After all, what’s so hard in finally confessing that his obstinate, ideological and arrogant refusal to listen to the majority of the US is what caused his healthcare bill to go down in flames?

So why did he have to bribe all those democrats?
LLS
no mention of the 70% of the American people who rejected it
no mention of tort reform
no mention of interstate purchasing
no mention of fraud
..all of which would reduce cost
THEY JUST WON’T ******* LISTEN
Narcissist in Chief. What a sociopath!
I would hardly describe a bill that was passed and signed into law as “going down in flames”.
He still don’t get it. He needs to be smacked into reality. GOP better not fumble the ball.
This is the interview OBAMA would not get away with if a real journalist was conducting the Q&A.
Did he or did he not have huge majorities in both houses of Congress?
Other than lubing up and bending over, what could the Republicans have done to make his job easier?
They'll demean Repubs for "taking pills from old American grammas."
REPUBLICANS SHOULD POINT OUT Thanks to O/Care, Americans will have to be happy with two brands of toothpaste---mint and plain.
Pardon me but don't you mean the Tea-party better not fumble the ball? The GOP is made up of @$$wipes!
Oh, they know. It’s just that those things don’t give them the POWER they want. Big, big government.
CBS is agenda and advocate driven, serving the DNC
and any enemy of America.
“Sniveling Blamer”
how could they cooperate when they were locked out of the back room closed door negotiations?

There have to be a few real jounalists left. Where are they? I guess since the media has been co-opted they can’t speak the truth.
What have I missed? I thought his health care bill passed. He didn’t need any Republicans. How can they be at fault?
ObamaCare passed in the House 220-215 with 39 Dems voting against it. That was the only thing that was bipartisan about the bill, which was shoved down the throat of the American people, the majority of whom were against it and still are.
