One thing that I like about Chuck Todd is that he is an honest broker. He doesn’t do the party line dance thing at all and he is a very honest man. Here Todd reports the “PANIC!” among the Democrats over Obamacare.

The Story:
Tension and frustration towards the White House is mounting, according to NBC’s Chuck Todd.
“Right now, you have Democrats on Capitol Hill in a full panic,” he said. “They’ve been nervous about the rollout, they’ve been upset about the website, but now it’s a full-out panic.”
Todd reported that congressional Democrats have vented to the White House about their frustrations over the health-care law, and told the president that his apology did not go far enough.

Democrats might be many things; but they’re not stupid. This Obamacare fiasco could end up costing some of those Democrats their jobs. So, they are trying to fix things. Of course, we all knew this was coming. Anytime the Government tries to do anything like this; it ends up failing and the people that do it; look like idiots.
As the host of the Today Show did say, you can bet your sweet hiney that the Republicans are going to play the failure of the Obamacare website, the failure of the President to keep his promise on one being able to keep his or her healthcare plan for all it is worth. So, now, they are trying to save face. Which really does not work; the Democrats overreached on this healthcare bill and it is going to cost them dearly. As I have written before, the 2014 elections will tell the story. I might be wrong; but, I have a feeling that the Democrats are going to pay a horrible price for this entire debacle.
Basically, it is Jimmy Carter redux. But, it is much, much worse.
