On Thursdays Special Report on the Fox News Channel, Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer deplored President Barack Obamas announcement of a so-called fix to his health care law as a political gesture that has nothing to do with the law itself.
This is all about show, this all about appearances, Krauthammer said. And this is all about the president protecting himself and some Democrats. Politically, Jonah [Goldberg] and Kirsten [Powers] are right. This is not going to have a real effect on those who lost their policies. The state health insurance commissioners have indicated and the insurers have indicated this is almost impossible to undo. You cant put Humpty Dumpty back. He did it because there was a rebellion among Democrats on this end. Everyone knows about Republican opposition wall-to-wall and constant. But what he was getting, especially after the statement by Bill Clinton who essentially said a few days ago, you know the president has not honored the promise he made. Thats number one, a pretty big accusation, even though he had the pseudo-apology.
Noting that the political fallout from Obamacare has spread to the presidents own party, Krauthammer said Obama had to act to avoid a rebellion among Democrats who could be tempted to defect and vote with Republicans to alter the law.

Yes, kraut is as big of a hypocrite as mccain is.
Who was getting the blame before? Republicans?
Whoa! Wait a minute! Is that correct - open enrollment closes March? If so, these guys are REALLY screwed at the current pace of enrollment.
I hear people quoting him like he's some oracle or something. He's been dead wrong more than he's been right(ie Ted Cruz)....The Krippled Kraut then comes out with his captain obvious declarations after he shat in his diaper the week before.
