Government Shutdown Victory May Be Short-Lived For Obama

The bipartisan deal to reopen the federal government and avoid a default is a clear victory for the White House, but likely a short-lived one with President Obama facing a number of unresolved challenges on the horizon.

Obama was rewarded for his hardline stance during the fiscal feud, essentially getting what he demanded from the start: a funding bill and debt-limit increase with virtually no policy concessions.

White House officials were careful not to publicly gloat but believe Obama’s hand was strengthened by the public’s rejection of Republicans’ strategy during the first shutdown in 17 years.

MSM tried to control the perception, but some of us saw right thru it. Am I the only one that noticed there were no statistics on his or the democrats dropping approval rating also? When you have a government controlled media you get a warped view. I look forward to watching the affordable care act crash and burn.
I laughed at the article that Delaware and the MSM made a big deal over the fact that one person signed up. 17 days later and that's all they got.
OK, we need to do something, but not this. You do not keep moving forward with such a flawed unaffordable strategy.
If employers don't have to do it, neither do I.
Medicare has billions of improperly paid claims, this will be no better.
Having worked in the insurance industry, they are NOT prepared to deal with this.
They hire uneducated/untrained children to run the customer service lines and process claims.
I fought with Aetna over a wrongly unpaid claim for a mammogram, for 3 months. Wait till this train wreck takes hold.
All we can ask is that the Republicans keep trying to derail this unconstitutional nightmare.

At this point, I don,t want it defended. I want the greedy scum who voted for this, thinking that every thing will be FREE FREE FREE to suffer. They need to get the quality of poor health care they deserve.

Eventually it will all collapse and there will be no way they can still blame Bush. It just may take some time.

The public rejected their strategy? That's news to me. Everywhere I have read most people,(who were not a gov't employee), was all for it. And still are.

Thank you, ! I am in fact, feeling sane. The one who was "successful" at signing up will be first in line to have her bank accounts exported to the hackers, who are waiting for everybody to get signed before pulling the trigger. And the prices are astronomical! I would lose my house with either plan if anything ever happened!

The pollsters are liars.
Except when they poll an overwhelming number of Democrats to sway public opinion. The Obama regime thrives on propaganda and victimhood to corral the masses.
Soviet style Alinsky politics 101.
One poll that does not lie is only 13% of Americans feel the country is headed in the right direction.
I question the Presidents 63% disapproval rating also. It must be much higher.
