President Barack Obamas credibility may have taken a big hit with voters, but hes also in serious danger of permanently losing the trust of Democrats in Congress. The Obamacare debacle has been bad enough that its tough for Democrats to take on faith that the president can fix the problems. His one-time allies are no longer sure that its 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 dont 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.

Any rational person with an IQ around room temperature knew this Obamacare was a screwup. With no republican support and the necessity of strange turncoat behavior by a Supreme Court Justice it was doomed from the start. Democrats insisted on no tort reform (to satisfy their trial lawyer constituency)and no interstate competion ( to satisfy their cronies).

They may know know how the Obamadork “Pelosied” this so badly, but those of us with above room temp IQs do.
The Obamadork is a below average IQ quota baby who has never produced anything useful...and never will produce anything useful.
He is worthless, narcistic, stupid, and a complete *sshole.
The fact that he happens to be African-American has nothing to do with it.
He is just a below average piece of excrement that was floating by at the proper time for liberals to pick him as leadert.

That’s ALL that matters to a politician of any party: just getting past the next election. Then they can think up some new excuse, delaying tactic, bandaid policy, etc...................

The legislation would allow people to keep their canceled insurance plans through 2014. The Upton bill, otherwise known as the "Let Obama off the Hook" bill.

I spend enough time on the pavement to qualify as a street person, and I remember when "Obama" seemed to be in every other conversation amongst the brothers but NOW...it is a word not to be spoken. AAMOF the last time I heard him discussed was by an older black couple whose private convo I overheard, basically referring to him as a dishonest fool in general, and why did the first black president have to be him. Not that I eavesdrop, but their being hard of hearing made it impossible to ignore their conversation. (And other black ppl looking at me and then giving them the eye, like "don`t complain about O in front of the white boy")

Its very clear how they fed it up. Leftist power always is high on command, low on performance. They are inherently incompetent, lazy and not dedicated to performing any real work. The leftist uses power and fear to demand and extort from those who produce. Left to their own devices they are impotent, totally unreliable. This all was accurately predicted.
Completely wrong. All we are seeing are criminal insurers stealing their illegal plans back from middle class Americans so that they can cruelly profit on their deliberately unlawful infliction of misery.
('Course, the President now telling these "bad apple" insurance companies to "just break the law, we'll apply prosecutorial discretion" is kinda hard to mesh with that. Going to be fun watching Carney next up at the podium.)

There is neither left nor right. There is only that which will succeed, and the destruction of the sickening profiteers that ruin the future of the people.
There, I just threw up in my mouth a little for your amusement. :)

The Dems in the House are in this up their butts. They’re the ones who trusted Pelosi and passed it in order to see what’s in it. It’s a bed of their own making.

Oh, come now! You guys supported Obama thinking he was the smartest man in the world. Now that he has undeniably proven that he isn’t you guys are going to avoid your responsibility in putting his misguided policies in place?
It’s going to be an ‘interesting’ mid-term election!
