Face It we lost health care reform battle [View all]

Obama and senate Democrats are already caving by doing as Corporate and Bush loving Bill Clinton said,and underminding law.Who
knows what else they will cave to next.The MSM has been doing great job doing the tea party's bidding.What next joining republicans
In repealing it?

For years democrats wanted to reform health care and now they finally did it,and did a conservative version to get to 60 votes,they
are underminding it.Wasting all the effort and now underminding It.

With the MSM doom and gloom on Obama and ACA you have to wonder If they will give republicans cuts to bif 3 to keep government
open and to avoid default In january/February

What's worse Is now the public Is rewarding republicans by revering the lead democrats had In generic ballet.Now they want to reward
republicans for government shut down and near default.

If Dems don't cave to republicans In January/February the MSM may spin It as all Obama's fault,and public will believe it.

Face it due to public's short memory Republicans will easily retain control of House In 2014.And we are In danger of losing senate In 2014.In NC hagen poll numbers are already dropping.It may be same In all red states.

The ACA may not survive after Obama leaves off.The MSM Is doing all they can to push Chris Christie for president.And Hillary may join Bill In underminding it.
