Has ObamaCare’s Unpopularity Caused ‘Abject Panic at the White House’?

Politico has obtained and published a confidential messaging-strategy presentation that essentially admits ObamaCare supporters are losing the battle for public opinion. The presentation was delivered to professional leftists by the left-wing Herndon Alliance, based on public opinion research by Democratic pollsters John Anzalone, Celinda Lake, and Stan Greenberg, in a forum organized by the left-wing group Families USA, “one of the central groups in the push for the initial legislation.” It is a stark admission that the public has not warmed to the new health care law, despite predictions that they would do so.

What is surprising is that this is surprising. The Dems/White House just don’t get it.

Obamacare is another big Democrat fiasco, piled on top of the economy. IMO, it’s the economy that’s front-and-center in everyone’s mind, and the idea that Obamacare will make it worse down the line is anathema to most Americans. It makes recovery just that much less possible.

Add to that with a takeover of business, the bailouts of the two Freddies and Wall Street, and a president who’s more interested in vacationing than governing, and we have the WH unpopularity that we have today. It doesn’t take a genius to understand what’s happened here. Anti-American, anti-Capitalist governing.

America is broke. We don’t have the money for this bull****. I don’t believe that it’s right to ask “the rich” to pay everyone else’s medical bills. That’s unAmerican. IMHO. Margaret Thatcher was right about socialism.

ObamaCare is the first Islamic tax on Americans. Muslim sare exempt. The Jizya tax is an islamic tax on non-muslims in countries controlled by islam. This iswhat ObamaCare is.

The only thing the delusional bastards in the White Hut are in abject panic about is that they haven't come up with the proper spin to trick the American people again. They just know they haven't found the convincing lie yet.
But fear not, they and their partners in the MSM will keep trying to the bitter end.

Oh, for goodness sakes, anyone with half a brain knew from the gitgo Obama’s “Obamacare” would be a total failure. Consider the source, Obama and the Democrat Party. Not a brain among them!!!! I begged Democrat Politicians not to vote for Obamacare. I told them they would rue the day they supported this failure POTUS and buffoon on any legislation. Now, they can all flush down the toilet with Obama, and his elitist wife, Michelle. Remember November!!!! Destroy every Democrat at the ballot box, traitors that they all are!!!

A bill of this magnitude surely has conflicting policies that make it unworkable. We all know how difficult it is to put together something that is relatively small and make all of the pieces harmonious and unlikely to cancel out other aspects. For example, I’m getting ready to teach an online college course. I have to make sure that every component meshes perfectly, or I will have chaos and panic in my class. Other faculty members and I go over the course components with a fine-toothed comb. Yet this gigantic healthcare takeover was hastily put together by competing interest groups, none of whom have probably even read the thing or tested it.

Come October, when the big corporations start to come out with the new insurance plans for next year, and the employees start to see the effects of obammacare on them, then this will not bode well for the Democraps.

And if some companies announce they will be dropping their company sponsored health-care plans, then this will start a big ripple effect.

Thanks to your out of touch local Democrap!
