The Democratic panic over ObamaCare has officially begun
The Week ^ | 11/14/13 | Jon Terbush

Posted on 11/14/2013 1:35:12 PM PST by SoFloFreeper

Democrats weathered the government shutdown by standing united. And even as ObamaCare stumbled through a rocky rollout, Democratic lawmakers remained largely in sync with the administration even as they expressed disappointment about the flawed health exchange website.

Yet ObamaCare's flaws have proven to be far more serious than a few poorly written lines of software code. Lingering problems with the site, combined with fresh concerns about rising premiums and Americans being pushed off their existing health care plans, have further eroded the law's political standing, prompting congressional Democrats to begin putting more daylight between themselves and the White House.

To be sure, some congressional Democrats have been calling for changes to the law for a full month. When Healthcare.gov's glitches threatened to prevent millions of uninsured Americans from obtaining coverage in time to avoid the individual mandate's penalty, squishy Democrats suggested punting the deadline, a concession the White House ultimately made.

The latest criticisms are far more pointed though, focusing not only a technological screw-up, but on the president's very credibility.

Obama vowed that people who liked their existing health plans would be able to keep them under ObamaCare, though that claim has proven to be false.

Let them panic. Make them explain why they voted for this. If they didn’t know why this would happen, ask them why they didn’t know. Did they read the bill they voted for? If they couldn’t see this coming, they are not smart enough to be in Congress.

There is only one fix to stop this misery for everyone. Repeal the damn bill!

Exactly. BUT, it must be done before year end.

RE :”Being smug while watching the Rats panic over Obamacare is like knowing you warned the captain of the Titanic of icebergs as the ship slips beneath the waves.

Better yet jumping OFF the boat with your own family just in time:

Letter from Sally the Democrat:
I voted for Obama twice. I campaigned out my heart and soul for him twice. I went out on a limb and assure my friends and family and hundreds of strangers that they would get a better deal from ACA. Then today I got that letter, my insurance canceled. I found I can get what I need in insurance on that website for twice as much and twice the deductible. I was a fool. He betrayed our trust”

YES WE CAN LOL

I contacted both my Senators, Warner and Kaine. It won’t do any good since they are both believers in Obamaism, having drank gallons of the kool-aid.

Their only panic is the potential loss of their job, they will do all that is necessary to retain these and their agenda including further promises they will not be keeping and then blaming anyone and everything else why that is.... Instead of watching the play by play with the media....look at the whole picture and there's nowhere for this to go but be turned around, twisted and pointed in another direction which will show the deluded and deceived Americans how wonderful they are in "protecting " the American people from themselves.

It's Time for a Tea Party!!!

bingo

OTOH they likely knew but thought the people's faith in The One and his ability to spread BS with the complicit MSM would save the day.

Floor speech:
“I would like to bring you back to a time, say, in 2010, when we were telling you what a disaster this was going to be, and our colleagues, like [x,y and z] were calling us all sorts of nasty names for predicting what we’re seeing today...”

“Sally” needs to go around personally to all those she “assured” and beg them to forgive her.

Wow that tweet is awesome.

The best part of this whole thing is that it has demolished the whole facade of the “cool, hip, competent, techy” regime.

They’re getting the late night tv snarks.

These anal-exit-apertures aren’t even good communists. At least, in the Soviet Union, they seemed to know what they were doing, and there was some semblance of order. These anal passageways screw up everything they touch. Then they have to scramble to fix the mess they created.
