DEMS Caution in ID-ing GOP Weasels: We Have Some, Too

One of the Biggest in the DEM's Boogle

Based on his recent remarks, it seems that Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) should have sided with the GOPers vis-a-vis their hatred for Obama-care ... Schumer says the Dems made a huge mistake by highlighting passage of the ACA back in 2010.

Story from TPM here: 

Sen. Chuck Schumer's (D-NY) remarks Tuesday that Democrats erred by passing Obama-care in 2010 before the economy was fixed did not sit well with Obama-world.

Schumer said in part: :Unfortunately, Democrats lost the opportunity the American people gave them. We took their mandate and put all of our focus on the wrong problem — health care reform.”

Schumer is the No. 3 Senate Democrat when he spoke to the National Press Club arguing that his party should have focused on middle class woes at the time instead. He then added: “It has been reported that only a third of the uninsured are even registered to vote.” (I add: what the hell does that mean – nothing I contend – zero, nada, zilch).

Former aides to President Barack Obama took to Twitter to knock Schumer. 

I totally agree. Maybe Mr. Schumer should have started at the front end of the ACA  process rather that here at the end along with the GOP who keeps trying everything in their power to repeal the ACA. 

I may be from NY, and Schumer may be my Senator, and I may be a lifelong DEM, but he is flat out wrong on this and he owes the party an apology and to the millions now insured, many for the first time in their lives.
