The White House sought to limit the political damage from the troubled rollout of the government's healthcare website on Wednesday as Republicans increased the pressure to delay parts of President Barack Obama's signature domestic policy.

"It is our job to hold them accountable, and when it comes to Obamacare clearly there is a lot to hold accountable," House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner told reporters on Wednesday.

The administration is trying to preserve Democratic Party unity on the issue, which showed signs of fraying. The head of the Democratic National Committee, Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida, told MSNBC the administration should be willing to extend the open-enrollment period for people to sign up for insurance. It ends on March 31.

F'em. This was passed by the house weeks ago and we were called terrorists. These Marxists can go straight to hell with Obama's "signature" manure.

After the things Dems said and did? The accusations they made?

No. No delay. No way.

Damage control? The media has done an obligatory half-hearted two days of “tsk, tsk, Obama’s people let him down” coverage.

Now, they’ll circle the wagons and defend their little fascist.

Didn’t Mitt Romney roll out a statewide system seven years ago for essentially the same thing? Why didn’t the “Brightest Guy in the Room” just modify Mitt’s website to roll out the nationwide sign-up?

Anybody?

Have they joined Pelosi in denouncing “Republic sabotage?”

They are back to calling anyone opposed to obamacare, or even anyone who is skeptical about it working as promised as ... racists (despite the fact that the overwhelming majority of people who championed it and politicians who voted for it were white).

The narrative was kicked off last week by Debbie Wasserman Shultz and now Grayson and the liberal media are running with it.

It’s all they have.

An unreal level of incompetence by this administration that is allowed to continue. Thinking on everything that this ‘man’ has bungled without consequence is stunning, breathtaking.

When do we say ENOUGH? When do we say STOP THE INSANITY and do something? How will this country pull itself out of this ‘man’s’ self-made dung heap?
