Former President Bill Clinton, who prodded President Obama last month to keep his promises on Obamacare, said Tuesday that the political damage for Democrats from the flawed law will be “minimal.”

“I believe that if the computer problems are all fixed, and it’s up and running by — and healthy in the next several weeks, I think that the damage will be minimal,” Mr. Clinton told interviewer Jorge Ramos of Fusion. “It’s getting better. I think it’ll be fixed by — in the next few weeks. If it’s worked through, I think within four or five months people will be talking about something entirely differently.”(continued)

Der Schlickmeister is not stupid. If he had obambas back he would tell him the best thing to do politically. He is just shining him on hoping to capitalize on the rubble when the fallout comes.

He’s right.

The media will champion the President no matter how bad things get and low information voters won’t care enough to question any of the DNC talking points or the lies told concerning the failures of Obamacare.....no matter how bad it gets.

It’s not the website, but rather, Obamacare that is the problem, The problem is not going away, but getting worse as time passes.

He has to say this. If the damage is worse than “minimal” Hill doesn’t get elected and Daddy doesn’t get to go back home.

We will look back on the website debacle as “the easy part” of this nightmare.

If close to 100 million get kicked off of their current healthcare plans, then even the low information voters will take notice. You can't hide reality with words.

“He’s right.”

The Republicans should be pounding both the website and the increased costs. Where are the ads saying?:

“Do you really want the government bureaucrats who can’t buy a working website for $600 million from a foreign company managing your healthcare?

“If you can afford your healthcare premiums now, wait until 2015!”

“If you like your doctor, you’d better get your checkup before your have an Obamacare compliant plan.”

Wouldn’t it be “sad” if he expired before she’s sworn-in?

The democrats can only keep the damage ‘minimal’ with an enabling media and a liar in the White House.

He is right. Who will remember in a year; sad to say but true. And the ones that do remember wouldn’t have voted for a Demorat anyway.
