Vice President Joe Biden’s message about ObamaCare to anxious Democrats gathered for the party’s winter meeting in Washington: “My central message to you is look: I think we should not apologize for a single thing.” Nothing? Not even a crashed Web site? Millions of cancelled policies? The “lie of the year” award? Skyrocketing premiums? Nope. On the contrary, Biden said Democrats should instead be heralding their accomplishments, chief among which is the health law that polls show dragging the party down in midterm elections and opening wide the door for Republicans to take over the Senate. “We are too shy,” Biden improbably said. “We are not talking about it enough, in my opinion.” This is part of a new motif from Democrats, including Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Whether they believe it themselves or not, the message is that problems with the law are not real. Biden, Reid, et al are telling Democrats to blow off deepening ObamaCare concerns, including the horror stories of actual Americans, and talk about the good things.
Problems? What problems? - Democrats may be better at controlling the media narrative than Republicans, but not even their usual home-field advantage with the press will let them do so this time. As Sen. Kay Hagan, D-N.C., recently learned, the party is in desperate need of an answer to the question of how to fix what’s wrong with ObamaCare. Hillary Clinton sent up a flare this week, tacitly urging her fellows to start talking about repairing the law. Team Obama, though, is focused on staying chipper and attacking the GOP. It’s understandable that the president and his men would want to protect his legacy, but that’s not going to feed the bulldog in red states and swing states.

Blind Idiots...
In other words Biden is saying ramp up the Communist style propaganda and lie more! After all it is what Democrats do.
Once you start to lie.....it becomes never ending! Then make believe......unbelievable......then outta control! Guess we're in the late stages of a terminal disease that's destine to destroy our healthcare system rather than fix what wasn't working for everyone.
This is why democrats are not to be respected on any level 7:24. By having a D behind your name means you condone and forgive the lies. It shows a complete lack of integrity. We can only hope and pray that there is a GOP sweep across the country.
7:24 - their intent is to implement a single-payer, government run system...but they couldn't pass it...they passed this knowing it would fail eventually - with a plan to resurrect the single-payer system knowing that the free enterprise system we just got rid of couldn't come back!
Send out crazy Uncle Joe to do the communist dirty work. He adds so much credibility.
Democrats are spinning everything,war on women,obamacare doing well,economy doing better,no scandals. Have to see the IQ of voters this time around.
