Zogby Report Card: Obama needs support, not GOP mockery, on health care 'fix'

Washington Examiner ^ | November 15, 2013 | Paul Bedard

Mr. Obama took ownership and said he would fix the cancellation problem – giving the Democrats some cover. As for me, I don’t doubt for a moment that the nation will survive if some Democrats lose in 2014 because they worked to fix the law. Anyone remember when some politicians were courageous?

“And, to the Republicans, the Constitution mandates Congress to make policy, not gloat and mock. Obamacare is after all a program originated under Republican former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney that is being implemented by an African-American president that they love to hate. I will wait to see if the kinks are indeed fixed before I pass final judgment. Meanwhile it would sure be nice to get some creative ideas for fixing those problems from both sides."

Zogby Report Card: Obama needs support, not GOP mockery, on health care 'fix'

I fart in his general direction!

[Always A Marine]

This may sound crass and I apologize if it does but, would it have been reasonable to expect the Jews to help the nazis fix the showers?

Far from crass, your analogy is spot on!

“And, to the Republicans, the Constitution mandates Congress to make policy

The GOP tried to do "keep your policy" 3 years ago and were derided because having all individual policies cancelled was part of the plan. The Constitution does not mandate Congress to sign a suicide pact.

Note to Mark John: Sorry pal, you guys own this one lock, stock, and barrel. No pubbies voted for it. Man up.

[EveningStar]

Nice play of the race card, too.

Yeah. I saw that. We need to confront libs whenever they accuse us of opposing Obama's policies because he's black.

I guess we could say something like, "So you're saying that if Obama were white, we conservatives would be supporting his policies? Right? RIGHT?"

Oops. Well, at least I spelled “a-hole” correctly.

IOW, it's not "final" judgment until all the kinks are fixed.

[RightField]

lol ... cup check

[Texas Songwriter]

I thought the republicans tried to help fashion legislation some 3 years ago when they said this would destroy the insurance industry, it would be a disaster…don't do it,…when they said it would be cost prohibitive., when they said it would decrease availability to physicians and hospitals, ….. and Obama would not listen, Obama summarily dismissed the conservatives, the dens told the republicans to go to hell, the dens called the republicans racists,….and on and on. But obama and the dens would not take their advice. Now, let the bastards stew in their own juices. They broke it….they own it.

[muir_redwoods]

Yeah, I believe that's common knowledge. My question was, was it reasonable to expect the Jews to help, not did they do so under duress.

... the Constitution mandates Congress to make policy, not gloat and mock...

Help me out guys.
I looked and looked, but cannot find the 'gloat and mock' clause in the Constitution

[gusopol3]

Are Reid and Pelosi white enough that we can criticize them, Zogby?

[3Fingas]

No. Since they are democrats, they are honorary members of an oppressed group.

Much like Elizabeth Warren is an honorary Indian queen.

[Political Junkie Too]

Obama's entire campaign toolkit is simple mockery.

If Obama is receiving mockery, it's the result of 5 years of dishing it out to his enemies.

I have no sympathy for him now.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Zogby is a racist who believes that half-black men are inferior and must not be held to the same set of standards that everybody else is held to.

[gusopol3]

I have very little sympathy for people who voted for him the first time as nothing that has happened has been any bit of a surprise to anyone who was paying heed then.

[gusopol3]

Absolutely.

[Kid Shelleen]

Obama and his useful idiots spent the last 6 years insulting conservatives and now they want their help.

[gusopol3]

Philly’s own Smerconish fits that group. Boy, did he unmask himself.
