In a mild rebuke to President Barack Obama, more than three dozen House Democrats broke with their party Friday in supporting a measure the GOP said would help reverse cancellation of Americans’ individual insurance plans.
Thirty-nine Democrats voted with all but four Republicans to pass the bill, which was sponsored by Republican Fred Upton of Michigan.
The White House had feared that more politically vulnerable Democrats, loathe to be accused of voting against a measure that could help constituents who have received a cancellation notice, might support the legislation in a tacit rebuke of Obama’s handling of the health care issue.
The revolt by House Democrats was still relatively modest, signaling that the party is mostly satisfied with the “administrative” fix Obama announced yesterday during a contrite press conference at the White House. GOP aides had suggested that as many as 60 Democrats might break with the president.

Too little, too late. EVERYTHING “President” Muhammad Al-Obama DOES is illegal.
There was no 'fix' yesterday in his 'announcement, only more rhetoric.....................
Mild rebuke?!?! This would be called an unprecedented defection if Obama were a Republican.
It’s not a rebuke, it’s butt covering. Those Dems want to have a chance in November 2014.
“Mild”... LOL.
REBUKE?
It’s saving his ass. Only 39 Democrats got it.
Capital Hill, where great minds go to decay.
Ergo, the Obamacare portfolio will be in a deficit by an amount equal to their missing contribution for one year, at which time such policies will again be cancelled.
NBC News: Obama signs mild veto.
i like the fact we have ~40 dems voting for this.
more so i do not like repubs trying to put a band aid on a gushing wound.
do we really have to pull out admiral akbar’s most famous line?
they will be hung with it.
democrats new line will be TOO LITTL TOO LATE, if you just helped along the way instead of blocking everything we wanted to do, and thwarting ournplans and causing this mess, we’d be fine.
mark my words. msm will just parrot and push it more.
Carrie, you and your fraudulent network are a big part of the problem, to begin with. It’s not surprising most socialist democrats would be satisfied with the fix, which is about like putting a band aid on a terminally ill cancer patient, because these morons were on board this DEMOCRATIC TRAIN WRECK from the beginning, and you can’t fix stupid, just ask PELOSI.
the spin from bert’s gyro stabalized key board....
“This day the President and the minority leader Pelosi received a vote of no confidence.
The bipartisan support of the bill in the House of Representatives overwhelmingly proves to all America that the failed Presidential lies are intolerable. The lone voice of reason,Representative Joe Wilson , who cried out “You Lie” has been vindicated.The soon to be expected cries for the Obama resignation over the all consuming failure will be his death knell.
With the rampant dissension in both the House and Senate, Democrats the moat has been breached and the citadel is ripe for storming. There is nothing but the scourge of the Obama black plague to look forward to for three more years. “
One wonders why those 39 democrats voted for a bill in the first place when they didn’t know what was in it.
“Mild”? TOTAL BULLSH*T
Now the House and Senate need to REPEAL the whole Obamacare bill.
A mild rebuke. It’s just a flesh wound. The dent will polish out.
But three dozen Democrats going against the president? Doesn't mean anything!
