BATON ROUGE, Louisiana — Mary Landrieu needs some good news from the federal health care law — and soon — or an issue that's already tricky for the Democratic U.S. senator's 2014 re-election bid threatens to become a tough hurdle for her campaign.
**SNIP**
In a state where President Barack Obama and his health care reform poll as highly unpopular, Landrieu needs something positive to show for the law if she's going to be able to explain her vote that helped pass it and her continuing, strong defense of it.

Whew! Some good news for close-call Mary! Sure hope she didn't spend her bribe all in one place.
The $4 Billion Typo in Obamacare's 'Louisiana Purchase'
Our story begins in the fall of 2009, when Sen. Harry Reid (D., Nev.) was trying to cobble together the necessary 60 votes to pass the Affordable Care Act. He needed every Democrat on board in order to do this, which gave waffling senators a great deal of leverage. In the case of Sen. Landrieu, this involved gaining some extra funding for the state’s Medicaid program.
Mary Landrieu: "I can’t be bought". Does this mean she can only be rented?
Yeah, she so supported a bill she hadn’t read, that she had to be bribed to vote for it.
But don’t worry, the senate will reform itself. Honest.
Running on empty.
Your Star Trek reference was not wasted on me!! LOL. I could use a laugh after reading all the news articles still praising Obamacare. How the SOB has any support at all is a damning indictment of America’s low information citizen.
Landrieu needs to do the right thing exit gracefully and leave LA.
We can only hope.
She’s like a little kid who has just released poop into the swimmimg pool. Now that everyone is pointing fingers of blame at her she’s desperately trying to fish it out - after the entire pool is contaminated.
She should choke on it. A bum is a bum.
Hurdles??? She was a $500 Million prostitute, and proud about the fact.
Crush her, Republicans.
Landrieu has nothing to worry about.
I just read an article where Debbie Dingbat Mayo-Head Schultz said that people like Landrieu should actually use Obamacare to get themselves elected.
Here’s Landrieu—lips pursed-—ready to suck up to Obama.
I knew I would need it. I just got an email from Mary. She wants to be my friend. She is now backing a bill to sort of force the lie; you like your plan, you can keep it. Mary is showing signs of quiet desperation with all of the delusional anxiety.
Well, she may be desperate-—but she and her mayor bother have $4.3 billion federal dollars stashed away to ease the pain.
