For nearly five years, Republicans have struggled to make a scandal stick to President Barack Obama’s White House. One by one, the controversies—with shorthand names such as Solyndra, Benghazi, and Fast and Furious—hit a fever pitch, then faded away.

But some Republicans see the disastrous rollout of Obama’s health law as a problem with the kind of staying power they have sought.

The health care failures are tangible for millions of Americans and can be experienced by anyone with Internet access. The law itself is more closely associated with Obama personally and long has been unpopular with the majority of the American people.

The longer the technical problems persist, the more likely they are to affect the delicate balance of enrollees needed in the insurance marketplace in order to keep costs down. …

The AP shows its evil side, by claiming Benghazi, Solyndra and Fast & Furious “fade(d) away”. No, they did not—you evil people suppressed them.

Who hopes - GOP or GOPe?

From what I’ve seen, the GOPe will do anything possible to make sure ObamaCare succeeds.

For millions, the heartbreak of Obamacare is only one letter from their insurance company away.

Save money, keep your existing plan & doctor..all L-I-E-S.

For years it was the Democrats who needed the American people suffering to win elections. Now the Republicans are sitting on their hands allowing a terrible law to cause great harm, while hoping the American people suffer enough to elect them to office.

What about the millions that do not have internet access?

Just for comparison...In 4 years..Roosevelt, Obama’s living God’ brought together CEO’s of all the major industries, paid them a dollar a year, and they produced 50,000 planes, a couple of thousand ships, countless tanks and trucks and supplies for all the men and equipment to take out two world class empires on both sides of the Pacific. Obama in the same time frame can’t produce even one web site that will handle his monstrosity of a “health plan”. Smartest man in the room? Hah!!!

OK, so how may “hopes” has the GOP relied on?
GOP “hopes” ObamaCare will fail under the force of various state lawsuits;
GOP “hopes” ObamaCare will fail because red states won’t join in forming exchanges;
GOP “hopes” ObamaCare will fail because Supreme Court will find it unconstitutional;
GOP hopes Obama heath care woes have staying power;
Any others?


The MSM will actually abandon their hero and tell the truth ....

IMO never happen. He got what he wanted, zerocare is now the law, for now. When zerocare fails, the next step is single payer system, no matter how long it takes, whether it’s in his admin or cankels.

Same thing happened with the Clinton scandals.

In the 90's Clinton & wife had a new scandal every week. Now all we hear is how glorious Madame Hillary is.

Disgusting.

There is no need to hope that 0bamaCare will fail. It will fail.

A great story by AP telling us the scandals went away, but they are not saying that they went away because AP and other Media ignored them.

Because Darrell Issa is really a buffoon who investigates until something else comes along and then drops it.

A scandal was Watergate, when u hear the word “Scandal” u think, sex, lies, and/or videotape. To even compare Benghazi, and Fast and Furious, where heroes were murdered, to a scandal, is typical liberal press B.S.

hit a fever pitch, then faded away

That's cuz the pitcher dropped the ball.

When the aging cretin "leadership" of the Republican party gets dislodged from office, then perhaps they will be able to make something of these crimes by the Obama gangstas.

The MSM definitely helps bury this stuff but, uh, Obama made them the victims too....shoulda been able to leverage that
