I think President Obama is right.......

Democrats shouldn't rescue the repigs on ACA. I would go further and say let them pass their draconian bs too. Then Democratic leaders should speak out about it all. We should busy ourselves at the local level opposing Republicans all the way, no Republican should be allowed to run unopposed. Tip O'Neill use to say all politics is local and that's true.

There never was or will be any replacement. The blame it on the Democrats is in full blown get the suckers mode as we speak.

That was their first opportunity to 'fix' it and they chose instead to hold symbolic vote after symbolic vote to simply repeal it.

They're gonna squirm for a while, but if they just outright repeal it, they'll all be gone in 2018 and I think they know it.

because President Obama wouldn't sign it. The truth is they never had one, their goal was to obstruct and destruct, anything President Obama was for, even if they were originally for it.

What I don't understand is why I'm not seeing any democrats publicly pointing this out.
