Dems double down on Obamacare

"There is political pressure as well. The administration is eager to rebuff fresh assaults by congressional Republicans, who have been trying to undermine Obama's signature health-care law since its enactment 31 / 2 years ago. The GOP's last major strategy — forcing the recent government shutdown in an effort to unravel the law — failed. With the government back open, Republicans are trying to make the case that the exchange's technical defects are evidence that the law is misguided."

If the Republicans explained every tactic, the Dems might not step into the trap. It has been said the best course is to let Obamacare proceed to it ultimate demise, which is preordained. That will create create a huge hardship, but nothing can be done.

What has been done is to lock the Dems into their support. When Obamacare fails, suddenly it will all be George W. Bushes fault. To make that argument now will be a steep climb. Harry reed is on record as letting cancer children die rather than defunding Obama, and Ted Cruse has been pilloried for his opposition to Obamacare. How can even the most compliment media back this sudden switch with all those video clips saying just the opposite.
