Politicians have learned that Obama Care 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 Obama Care and are out of office. The losses
are historic!
So what do Democrats do about Obama Care? 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 Obama Care is no longer a must to call yourself a Democrat.
Yes, do not be shocked if there are enough votes in the US Senate and Congress to override a presidential veto and repeal Obama Care.
This is what happens when:
1) you lose as badly as the Democrats did in 2014;
2) your
leading candidate for president is looking for a way to detach herself from the
Obama administration; and,
3) every Obama Care promise was broken by
reality.
Who would have believed this a year ago? or when Justice Roberts made Obama Care a reality in June 2012?
