As Democrats struggle to find a way to reconcile “Obamacare” heading into the 2014 election cycle, it’s been entertaining as all get out to watch their standard-bearer roll them under the proverbial bus. It’s also amusing watching and listening to the main stream press back pedal and attempt to gain their own footing, as the President’s signature achievement, and one they were all so heavily invested in, goes down in flames. Truthfully, it’s actually kind of sad. What’s happening is not the exception but rather the rule when politicians use the all too common “leverage” of promise, which is ultimately followed by a hard dose of mathematical reality.
The fact that our community organizer/president appears to be fresh out of political rhetoric in the face of legitimate questions concerning the ACA, and is obviously having trouble coming to grips with the “legalities” of his own law, now seem small measure to the real and egregious harm this ideological and poorly thought out experiment is doing to real Americans. So when the next sycophant fool scoffs at me and says “you just want the law to fail”, I will reply with zeal: “You’re damn right I do”…
