President Obama’s signature domestic policy may have accomplished something previously unthinkable: taking an issue where one party had a dominant hold on public opinion, and reversing it in favor of the opposing party.

That's not unthinkable. The GOP does it all the time.

The writer must be comparing her to Barbara Boxer.

The RINOs will seek to “compromise” and bail Obama out by giving him a delay, pushing the problem to after the November 2014 elections. By then the low information voters and the media will be convinced that all is well and the Democrats keep hold of the Senate.

Dianne Feinstein is a MONSTER !

Only idiots and the evil voted for Obama, or ANY of the Democrats.
They've lied to us, constantly, and really are "Collapsing the System".
And now, these "Useful IDIOTS" who voted for them, are buying the lies that "Obamacare was designed to work." ?
It was designed to fail from the start.
THEN ... THEY GO TO THE "SINGLE-PAYER SYSTEM". They've been sucking our wallets dry for over four years now on the "Obamacare" LIE.
AND NOW THEY WANT MORE TAXES ?
Our Founding Fathers would have hung them already!

Lets review: So Democrats,
Sen Mark Kirk's statement Thursday, Dec 1, 2011 ... It's not our fault that DEMOCRATS raided the Social Security Trust Fund.
Let's remember ...

Can anyone explain how Obama's acolytes could mangle the entire Socialized Medicine (Universal Healthcare) plan so egregiously without a plan to do so intentionally. I do believe Obamacare was meant to fail causing an avalanche towards Medicade aka Single-payer or Universal Healthcare....Obama's mission is almost complete.....

Republicans should not lift one single pinkie to save this. Keep it tied completely to the Dims’ necks like an anchor.

It's beginning to look like we might swing control of Congress and the Presidency over this.

Which you'd think would be the perfect time to introduce some health-care reforms that would actually work:

Of course, this is the GOP we're talking about. They never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

I’d be roaring with laughter at your remark, if only it were brutally honest and true.

The best thing that could have happened to Democrats is the start up clusteryuck. It gives them an opportunity to keep lying to people about affordable healthcare. The best thing Democrats could do would be to abandon the whole thing. Delaying it only raises the national anxiety level.

They probably think Trotsky is a “conservative”.

Just to mention one: nominating Romney and thereby losing the Obamacare issue.

Whoops, forgot a key word in my reply. Should have read: "I’d be roaring with laughter at your remark, if only it were NOT brutally honest and true.

I knew what you meant. Just thought I’d give a favorite example.

And still the Republicans aren't getting credit for trying to delay all this during the shutdown.

Why the disconnect? Poor and biased journalism explains that.
