Where were the Democratic surrogates to say what Obama is saying now?

[ZRT2209]

They should have been publicly hammering these same points for the past 2 weeks, aggressively. Including Sebelius.

1. They were out there but the media would not give them adequate coverage. Only negative stuff

got the coverage.

2. The MSM has been intentionally avoiding avoiding what is being done to rectify the situation.

In addition, the media have not been informing the public the states where it is working, or alternatives to the website

Why haven't the Democratic surrogates been making a presence?

That has perhaps been the biggest weakness of the Democrats in general

4. The President is speaking now.

5. the ACA is more than a damn website!

All the protections from the ACA to improve health care coverage are in effect NOW. (pre-existing conditions, 80% rule, etc.)

You can sign up by mail or on the phone - not just by the website!

Many states have expanded Medicaid under the ACA - no website required. Oregon has reduced its number of uninsured by 10% in the past 3 weeks.

If you already have insurance or Medicare you don't need to sign up on any website.

20,000,000 have accessed healthcare.gov.

6. They were too busy calling for firings and hammering Sebelius in interviews.

Both unproductive.

7. They were out there telling us it was just huge demand and some small glitches.

Those were the talking points. They did as instructed.
