OBAMA - A LIAR AND A LOSER - SPENDING MILLIONS TO SELL A 'TRAIN WRECK'

President’s “Last Campaign” - ObamaCare - Off to a Rocky Start

If selling ObamaCare is indeed President Obama’s “last campaign” with all kinds of “legacy-defining” consequences, it is off to one rocky start.   “Anxiety” runs through his ranks.  Key support is “eroding.”  There’s “trouble in the states.”  The whole thing is a “train wreck” in the making.  Let’s review the lowlights:  Divided base.  The White House has been telling congressional Democrats “that it helps no one to run from legislation the party already owns,” Kim Strassel writes in today’s Wall Street Journal, but that’s exactly what many of them are doing.  “Recently elected Senate Democrats have enthusiastically joined efforts to kill portions of the law,” she notes, while this week’s bipartisan House vote to protect all Americans from ObamaCare mandates was “a psychological break, one that lays the potential groundwork for a bipartisan coalition to defund or repeal the law, if things continue to deteriorate.” This, she writes, is “what the White House truly fears.”  Indeed, as the same paper notes in an editorial, “more may defect when their constituents get a load of ObamaCare in practice.”
