Happy Friday folks,
A new CNN/ORC international poll reveals that 56 percent of Americans disapprove of the way President Obama is handling his job. Perhaps liberal Hill staffers will soon join the majority of Americans who are fed up with the Left’s policies.
Jonathan Allen and Jennifer Haberkorn recently reported that veteran liberal staffers on the Hill are “sick over the insurance prices they’ll pay under Obamacare, and they’re scrambling to find a cure.”
While these staffers are somehow “shocked” by the disaster caused by the very bill they helped write and become law, USA Today’s Jayne O’Donnell and Paul Overberg recently reported that everyday consumers are truly facing “sticker shock” due to Obamacare. “Sweeping differences in health care exchange pricing among states and counties is leading to sticker shock for some middle-class consumers and others who aren’t eligible for subsidies under the Affordable Care Act,” wrote O’Donnell and Overberg.
Here’s another Obamacare tidbit that shouldn’t be shocking to anyone:
The AP’s Bree Fowler recently reported that technology experts believe that the Obamacare website needs more time and money. Apparently, three years of planning and $600 million tax dollars were not enough to fix the ineffective site.
With so many problems that are occurring with Obamacare, it’s easy to understand why President Obama wants to make a new half-hearted pivot to the economy. The AP’s Jim Kuhnhenn recently reported that, “the White House is pushing its economic agenda as it attempts to give Democrats something to talk about other than the troubled health care rollout.
Because the White House probably doesn’t want liberal lawmakers talking about its failed policies that have allowed for a weak labor market or the rising costs of energy and education, perhaps they will pull out an option from House Minority Leader Pelosi’s playbook: Obamacare will create “400,000 jobs almost immediately.”
Seize the day.
