Obamacare Year 2 Rollout Delayed!

We haven't even gotten Obamacare rolled out, and already the Health and Human Services Department has decided to postpone next year's sign up date until after the November congressional elections. Why? Well, if you believe them, it will be so you'll have more time to study your options. Of course, if that were the case, they'd be delaying the start of Obamacare until next year to begin with. I mean, who would need more time to study options? Someone that is looking at it for the first time this year, or someone who's renewing from a year ago.

Of course, the reason it really was postponed was because the administration is afraid that if you have to renew by October 15th (the original date), and have problems like this year, you're going to vote against the Democrats in the Senate up for re-election. With Harry Reid's power grab taking place this week, whereby he only needs 51 votes to approve Obama's appointments, this becomes easy to see what's really going on. Reid will likely lose seats in the mid-term election, but he doesn't have that many to spare. There are 14 Democrats up for re-election next year that are going to face an uphill battle. He can only afford to lose four, and still keep majority. So, Kathleen Sebelius and her gangat HHS is doing everthing it can to try and help out, seeing they were the cause of this mess in the first place.

With 93% of the American public now against Obamacare one way or another, it's painfully apparent that the White House is in a total lockdown struggle to stop the bleeding. Obama's approval ratings are the lowest they've ever been, and some are saying that Reid's rules change in the Senate was nothing more than a way to get people talking about something other than Obamacare. In fact, if you pay attention to these things, the Dems have stopped calling it "Obamacare", and are referring to it as the "Affordable Care Act" in an effort to get some of the blame off of their guy. Sorry Barry....won't work this time.

The main problem with Obama in this mess is that his philosophy calls for him to never surrender or to admit mistakes, but instead forge ahead and double down when in trouble. We've seen it before. When people are against you, instead of changing course, plow ahead faster an more engaged. That's what he's trying to do this time. But that won't work with a skeptical public that is already so ingrained against his legacy that he can't win them over. End result? He becomes even less popular of a president than Jimmy Carter (considered by most to be the worst president since Herbert Hoover).

What's the solution? Well, the best way to fix this mess is to repeal it and start again with bi-partisan support. That's got about as much chance as happening as seeing Jesus today. What will happen? Obama and his clan will play defense for the rest of his term, unless the GOP wins control of the House next year and passes a bill to repeal Obamacare. Then the GOP force Obama to veto it (which he would), and basically destroys the Dem's chances at the White House in 2016. Is there a middle ground here? Nope. That isn't going to happen.
