Trust frays between President Obama, Democrats (They don't know how he *expletive* this up so badly)
Politico ^ | November 14, 2013 | Jonathan Allen and Jake Sherman

Posted on 11/15/2013 9:30:01 AM PST by Zakeet

President Barack Obama’s credibility may have taken a big hit with voters, but he’s also in serious danger of permanently losing the trust of Democrats in Congress. The Obamacare debacle has been bad enough that it’s tough for Democrats to take on faith that the president can fix the problems. His one-time allies are no longer sure that it’s wise to follow him into battle, leaving Obama and his law not only vulnerable to existing critics, but open to new attacks from his own party.

“I don’t know how he f—-ed this up so badly,” said one House Democrat who has been very supportive of Obama in the past.

The first test of unity: how many Democrats vote for a bill Friday penned by Michigan Republican Rep. Fred Upton. The legislation would allow people to keep their canceled insurance plans through 2014.

Clearly, now, Politico and the Democrats are racist.

This failed because they tried to thread the needle and not take over the whole system at once.
They also didn’t provide enough coercive force to make the makers sign up to support the takers.

Bring out the guns! That’ll make it work!

Yeah, they don’t trust him but they’ll defend him to the last man before they’ll give an inch to the Republicans.

Libtards will never understand how they *expletive* everything they do up so badly. They are as clueless as dirt.

Looks like a bill penned by Michigan Republican Rep. Fred Upton will attempt to bail the dimoKKKRATS out. Another prime example of Republicans snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Because they forgot that OBAMA IS NOT A DEMOCRAT, he is a SOCIALIST.
To them, the end always justifies the means. Anybody who bothered to educate themselves as to who Obama is, and what he came from would know that. (OH WAIT... Is noting Obama’s past racist?)

Easy explanation. Affirmative action programs will always fail even when attempted at the highest levels of management.

Couldn’t be that their ideology’s base assumptions are wrong... no... couldn’t be that.

“I don’t know how he f—-ed this up so badly,”

WE know.

All it took was for a bunch of otherwise ‘responsible’ adults to sit around like drugged morons in a deep stupor, while “O” did whatever HE WANTED, with IMPUNITY!!!

THAT’S HOW!!

The empty suit was so apparent from Day 1. What took them so long?

Roger that. Just how does delaying the pain of Obamacare and ending the conversation until AFTER the mid term elections help Republicans? It sure helps the dems though.

Obama messed this up by leaving it to Pelosi and Reid to pass it so everyone could find out what was in it.

Obama is not a leader; he’s a mediocre golfer.

I guess that shirking of responsibility is a Dim habit - none of those who rabidly supported him have any idea of how he f'd it all up so bad....Can't wait to hear the pundits in the MSM trying to figure out how things went so awry.

Perhaps Senator Cruz can weigh in and help them unravel this "mystery"...

Wait. These same Democrats who flaunted their disdain for the public will and did their smug Obamacare victory vote march are now concerned? Pffft..
