5. Seems To Be Working.....

I hate to say it - but this constant chipping away seems to be working. I heard yesterday that some House Dems are getting nervous; Feinstein in the Senate is getting nervous; Bill Clinton didn't help things; the MSM seems to have picked up the charge of the Repugs and are only talking about the negatives; the President's poll numbers are down because they've taken up the meme that he lied; the insurance companies have contributed by canceling policies. I don't see many Dems coming to the defense or standing up for things.

I'm hoping that the President pulls this out today. I hear he is going to discuss this later this morning.

Now if the MSM reported about Boehner's strategy as in the OP and quoted him and ran with that continuously - maybe the American People would catch on. But instead the MSM likes to report about the negative as it makes the President and the ACA look bad.
