The Patriot Post® · Breathing Room for Obama

According to Politico, congressional Democrats met with Barack Obama this week and came to an agreement: “Democratic senators facing reelection have a green light to bash the White House and call for certain legislative fixes. But they’ve been urged by senior administration officials not to insist on delaying the controversial law’s core: The mandate for individuals to purchase insurance coverage or face penalties.” In other words, Democrats in Congress have agreed to give Obama a bit of breathing room to fix the website and so on in exchange for being able to distance themselves from the law on the campaign trail. We still think ObamaCare will hang around all Democrats’ necks in 2014 and beyond.
