Politicians have learned that ObamaCare is extremely unpopular. It may be the most unpopular piece of legislation in recent memory. Go to a political cemetery and count the tombstones of Democrats who voted for ObamaCare and are out of office. The losses are historic!
So what do Democrats do about ObamaCare? How do they remove this burden from their backs?
Enter Senator Schumer of New York:
Speaking at the National Press Club, the influential Senate leader identified the decline of middle-class incomes as the defining challenge of the age. Democrats can only win elections, Mr. Schumer said, as “the pro-government party” – and ObamaCare is undermining that larger political project.
The Senator called the law a distraction from the “middle-class-oriented programs” his party should have pursued after 2008: “Unfortunately, Democrats blew the opportunity the American people gave them. We took their mandate and put all of our focus on the wrong problem: health-care reform.”
Mr. Schumer said he still supported the entitlement’s goals, but “it wasn’t the change we were hired to make. Americans were crying out for the end to the recession, for better wages and more jobs.”
Senator Schumer is opening a door so that Democrats can jump ship and vote, at least, for amendments or even a repeal. He is letting Democrats know that allegiance to ObamaCare is no longer a must to call yourself a Democrat.
Yes, do not be shocked if there are enough votes in the U.S. Senate and Congress to override a presidential veto and repeal ObamaCare.

The Wall Street Journal reported in a Schumer article that of the 60 Democrat Senators who voted for 0bamaCare, 28 (soon to be 29) are currently out of office, mostly by being voted out, although there have been some retirements.
Exactly, because he wants to be in the cabinet...
It was her freaking idea in the first place!!!
Basically our government spit in our face and told us we had told us we to had to buy a new vehicle whether we wanted one or not then sold us a Moped for the price of a Ferrari after blackmailing a judge to make it law.
The Mafia could learn much from studying how the Obama administration works.
Look, Senator Superbrilliant High IQ SAT Taker, you were one of the champions of this legislative Hindenburg. Now you kvetch that the flight didn't go as planned. All you are doing is pointing fingers and offering alibis. What do you intend to do about it? Are you going to introduce legislation to repeal it.
Obamacare is nothing more than Hillarycare II. He could do what she couldn’t because as President, he could strongarm certain Dems. He’s a hood...
No...YOU OWN THIS.
The reason that the Dems want the internet “regulated” so badly is that it has this pesky, annoying feature where all the statements made by politicians in the past are available in the present. 50% of the Republican ads in 2016 should contain nothing but the recorded words and videos of Democrats, with the other 50% should be statement of what the Republicans intend to do to repair the damage.
“You can’t get away, Chuckie...”

Now that his power is evaporated Democrats are jumping ship and heading for dry land which for some is going to be just more strongarm socialism, victimolgy and redistribution politics with a different empty pantsuit.
Oh, that pantsuit is far from empty. We may dislike what it's filled with but it's filled to bursting.
The Mafia could learn much from studying how the Obama administration works.
Remember Capone told his capos we’re going legit and they have been in control every sense I’ve yet to see any proof that the Mafia doesn’t control D.C. JFK found out the hard way.
Never trust one.
When Hillary comes and makes similar statements, you’ll know Chuckie is blocking for her leading up to 2016.
Sadly, this is true. However, it's the limousine liberals and social parasites in New York City that keep him in office. Not the majority of people in Up State New York.
The Foundation he has set up will be the Obamas’ tax-free piggy-bank for life.
It’s only being done so that Hillary and Warren can use the soundbite later. Wait and watch for both to agree with Chucky. not much will be made of it, now, but it’s simply for OPTICS and NARRATIVE later on in the campaigns.
Obamacare is an insurance scam, Hillarycare is National Socialized Medicine. Government owns the means of production (medical facilities) and the doctors work for the government. Think VA Healthcare for everyone.
Little chuckie is the #2 dim in the senate. This is something that is more than a “message”. I think he is giving the OK to start his presidential campaign.
DON’T put your horse in front of this cart, he’s NO better than bambaboy!!!
Is this a Trick to try to Fool the GOP into Impeaching Obama ?
Don’t let them run from it. Hang it around their necks.
