Maybe he’s planning a run at the presidency.

Apparently, Chuckie’s fat-cat Wall Street friends, whose donations have kept the Democrats from joining the Whigs as a former political party, have decided that they’re tired of spending hundreds of millions of dollars on futile efforts to get ObamaCare-supporting Democrats re-elected.
So, ObamaCare must go. How Chuckie goes about trying to destroy Obama’s signature legislative ‘’achievement’’ will be interesting to watch.

“His reasoning: Democrats were targeting the uninsured, a population that he said makes up only about 5 percent of registered voters. Only about one-third of the uninsured, he said, are registered or eligible to vote... “
Always about politics, never about solving problems.

Peel the onion by passing bipartisan piecemeal bills and keep shoving ‘em up the Bamster’s pitooty.

Mistake? Making an error in arithmetic is a mistake. What Schumer and the whole coven of Democrats fully supported was unconstitutional and criminal.

All Schmuckie cares about is the DemRat party. He doesn’t give a rat’s arse about the people harmed by 0bamaCare.

The Democrats crammed Obamacare down America’s throat. It’s not like there was a shortage of RINOs willing to compromise, but the Democrats chose to go it alone. Politically, this was a bad move. Had they cooperated with the minority and actually attempted to craft something that addressed the needs of the uninsured without screwing the rest of us, they might have done some good. Instead, they revealed themselves as big government statists unwilling to cooperate to reach solutions amenable to both the rule of law and the vast majority of Americans.

He’s definitely up to something no good. All these things he is talking about are things he knew about at the time but supported OCare anyway. Something stinks about this sudden change of heart.

Schmuckie must have thought his media pals had buried all the videos of him pimping the Obamacare plan for Obama 5 years ago.

The schmuck, schmuckie, is a LIB/DIM and, therefore, a chronic liar. He continues to lie. No one should trust anything this criminal says about anything. Typical LIB/DIM.

It was the Hagel firing, and knowing nobody will serve as Secretary of Defense under Obama. Chuck is pissed.

His reasoning: Democrats were targeting the uninsured, a population that he said makes up only about 5 percent of registered voters. Only about one-third of the uninsured, he said, are registered or eligible to vote...first Goober, then Schumer - revealing the inconvenient truth - in this case that the Democrat party is about power for itself, not what's best for the country - hope you're listening America....

Only small percentage of those pre-Obamacare uninsured are now insured under Obamacare.
Considering the $billions that have already been spent, it would have been less expensive for the FED to provide direct insurance to the uninsured and leave all other private insurance alone.

He might also be trying to provide preemptive cover for the Dem nominee in 2016 — make the economy the issue.
It worked for BJ Clinton with his ‘It’s the Economy, Stupid’.

Upchuck is up for re-election in 2016. He smells the fail of Odumbos policies, including odumcare, and wants to protect himself from the decline. I smell a turnaround in NY next time.Bingo! He sees the writing on the wall. If I was running against this scumbag I'd not only slam him continuously on his deciding vote for Obamacare, I'd point out his historic disregard for the rule of law. Not only his support for the current lawless communist but his support for the last corrupt President. He got to vote 3 times on the Clinton impeachment. Once in committee, once for the House, and then finally in the Senate. He voted for lawlessness every time. My slogan would be "Good Things don't come from an evil man"
