WILL the “stupid Americans” in CONgre$$ who were bamboozled by the tricky totalitarian to vote for ACA, express outrage and want his head on a platter and is deception dollars back in the till, upChuck?

C’mon December (Lousiana) and 2016
He's also a powerful voice in the Senate.
This will tick off a lot of people.
I'd say, he's ready to retire.
While the article is thin on detail, I don’t read any regret in his statement. It appears he just would have just sequenced Big Government intervention differently, arriving a Obamacare later after other Big Government programs were passed first. In other words, the law itself, in his mind, isn’t bad. As a typical leftist he won’t admit to any ideological failing, only a failing of strategy.
Chuckie - you got Grubered!
And in case you haven’t figured it out yet, the stupid people who needed to be lied to about Obamacare were Democrats in the legislature. No one else was going to vote for it.
As ole BJ said for his election, “It’s the ECONOMY, Stupid!”
Instead, under Obama, for two terms, the economy floundered. And now, the bills for Obamacare are just hitting the public.
About the only saving grace has been the appearance that inflation is low. In actually, inflation has been happening, for example, in foods with product shrinkages and price increases. But, food and fuel inflation are not included the the ‘official’ figures.
Conversely, the low interest rates have caused problems for retirees who intended to use the interest on their savings. Most would drool to get 8% on their funds; ironically, in the late 1990s, that 8% was considered low-moderate. Now, few interest-bearing accounts even pay 1%.
Those low interest rates are another way the FED hides the cost of government.
How could they have done that when so much of their base lives for "revenge" against the white middle class? Everyone from black radicals to young white progressives mad at their parents would have risen up in volcanic fury.
No, "free health care" was what their base was demanding at the time, and though Obamacare's implementation was a predictable disaster it cannot be argued that the Democrats did exactly what their voters wanted.
This is BS. All he’s saying is that the Democrats should have spent a little more time bamboozling the public before screwing them.
6 years later? 6 friggin’ years later!!!!! 6 years of ChuckU Schumer calling the Tea Party racist, the opponents of Obama haters, everything opposed to his agenda of the minute never, ever had a legitimate reason for opposition. They were just bigots or obstructionists. Chuckie Schmuckie has really earned his name this time.
Schumer operates from a Senate seat which is a citadel of Marxist/leftist ideology utterly free of any fear of losing the next election and he is commensurately free to push his ideology opportunistically.
It is unwise to underestimate Charles Schumer.
He was "Grubered"???
Schumer having a Gruber moment?
Democrats Should Not Have [everything they did].
Their bankruptcy of the Fed government since Reid came in will cripple us for a generation.

So Chuck, I assume you’ll be amenable to a repeal bill, should the Republicans put one out there?
I’m really surprised they didn’t pin it all on Pelosi and jettison her out of leadership. It must mean that they’re hating Obama more than Pelosi or Reid.
I don’t watch Chuck Schumer and his evil smirk. This is a $1000 monitor and I want to get some use out of it before it’s destroyed.
This is al about Chuckie trying to rewrite history so that in 2016 when he runs fro re-election, he can tell the voters, "I was against Obamacare and so don't blame me for the 100% increase in your health care premium.
"So we will regroup and come up with even more calumny and intrigue. Then, and only then, will we be able to complete to communization of this country."

Chuck-U Schumer orchestrated the Demos takeover of Congress in 2006 and now his sees all that work in tatters. He finally understands they made a major blunder but only after the evidence was indisputable and the impact was catastrophic for Democrats. Talk about your slow learner. Of course, he hasn’t really learned anything about why the Democrats get everything so wrong.
Yeah, “embrace government”. That’s the ticket.
