GWEN IFILL: As we speak this morning, Kathleen Sebelius is testifying in the House about healthcare.gov. And you have called Obamacare a rolling disaster, but you haven't called for her to resign. Why not?
SEN. MITCH MCCONNELL, R-Ky.: Well, look, I don't think anybody could make this work.
We said back in 2009, when it was passed, without a single vote to spare, not a single member of my party in the House or Senate voting for it, it couldn't possibly work. We predicted that insurance -- health insurance premiums would go up, jobs would be lost, and the president's principal promise that, if you had your health insurance and you liked it, you would be able to keep it, none of that would happen.
Regretfully, from the point of view of those who advocated this, the critics were entirely correct. The website may be a good item for late-night comedy, but even if people are able to get on it, one thing you can be sure of is, the choices will not be good, the premiums will be higher.

RINO CYA Talking points: “Obamacare is not workable” after we voted for closure and demonized conservatives.
Then why did you help it along? F you McConnell
The face & brains of a turkey.
While Senator Cruz was bravely trying to fight it, you went behind him and made a deal with the enemy. You know what that’s called, Mitch?
For the 2 billion in handouts for his state.
McConnell peaked out back in the early 1990s....as did McCain. Whatever they pretend to be today....is mostly for drama and acting purposes.
If its’ unworkable, why did you take a $3 billion bribe to fund it Mitch?
Dude got his $2 billion dam. Did he know Obamacare wouldn’t work before or after he made his deal with the devil?
“I’m not a senator, but I play one on TV”
Shut up and step aside, Bitch. You had an opportunity to lead, and instead you decided to wait and see which way the crowd was going so you could get out in front of them and pretend to lead.
Leadership is what you do when it’s unpopular. You failed the test, and there are no do-overs.
You voted for Cloture you sorry excuse for a leader.
Captain Obvious speaks.
Every post in this thread is great.
How does this back stabbing loser have the balls to go on TV and say it won’t work when he did nothing to stop it.
I hope the people in his home State replace him.
Trying to keep his phoney-baloney job!
The sooner this mealy-mouthed failure is evicted from his seat, the better. We are counting on you, KY.
way to late. He should have been supporting cruz not pissing on him.
there you go, by doing that he voted for it. By backstabbing Cruz, he voted for it....
We know...hopefully Kentucky can clean this puss pocket out of it’s political body.
