Words That Sum Up Democrats Day In The House – Defection, Disloyalty, Dissatisfaction, Defied

“Thirty-Nine Democrats Broke With Their Party Leaders” To Back The “Keep Your Plan Act.” “Thirty-nine Democrats broke with their party’s leaders and backed the bill despite a veto threat by the White House, highlighting the political problem the issue has come for President Obama’s party.” (Pete Kasperowicz, “House Approves ‘Keep Your Plan’ ObamaCare Bill; 39 Dems Defect,” The Hill’s Floor Action Blog, 11/15/13)
  • “The House Approved The ‘Keep Your Health Plan Act’ In A 261-157 Vote.”(Pete Kasperowicz, “House Approves ‘Keep Your Plan’ ObamaCare Bill; 39 Dems Defect,” The Hill’s Floor Action Blog, 11/15/13)

Today’s Vote Dealt Another Blow To Obama

“The Vote Is A Further Blow To Obama …” “The vote is a further blow to Obama, who was forced on Thursday to admit that new standards under the healthcare law are forcing millions of people into new and often more expensive health insurance plans.

  • “Dealing A Blow To President Obama’s Effort …” “Dealing a blow to President Obama’s effort to fix problems with his healthcare law, more than three dozen House Democrats voted Friday to support a Republican-sponsored bill to address the crisis, brushing aside White House warnings that the legislation would only make matters worse.” (Michael A.

Democrat Defections Are “A Major Show Of Disloyalty To The White House.” “It’s a major show of disloyalty to the White House, but House Democrats had expected the defections to be far higher before the Obama administration said Thursday that it would pursue an administrative fix to the cancellation problem.”
