Sen. Chuck Schumer’s (D-New York) comments on Wednesday about Democrats’ misguided focus on health care in President Barack Obama’s first term prompted backlash from top Democrats and left-leaning groups, who accused him of being politically craven.
At a speech before the National Press Club in Washington on Tuesday, Schumer said Democrats made a mistake by entering into a fight over health care after they passed the 2009 economic stimulus.
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...

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.
Welcome to the Tea Party, Chuckie.
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.
Yup, self preservation.
It was the Hagel firing, and knowing nobody will serve as Secretary of Defense under Obama. Chuck is pissed.
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’.
Chuckie is laying some groundwork for Hillary.
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"
