++So Washington pundits say the President blew his press conference today and the analogy is the first Presidential debate.
++Andrew Sullivan claims it was like Ronald Reagan on Iran-Contra.
++Ed Schultz, who about the only major media personality who defends Obamacare, says the President caved to the Republicans.
++The Health Insurance industry is up in arms saying that Obama is not making them the focus of criticism and that allowing people to keep their insurance will destabilize the market--like the independent insurance market was stable all these years. They claim rates will have to rise--naturally.
++My advice to President Obama is not to talk anymore about ACA until early next month after the website is 90% fixed.
++Meanwhile the House GOP is readying a motion to impeach Eric Holder for not defending DOMA. Yes, the unconstitutional law. They are also throwing in his refusal to defend the Controlled Substance Act in Colorado. We haven't seen Fast and Furious come back yet.
++The good news is that Janet Yallin sailed through her confirmation hearings and bluntly told the panel that Congressional gridlock and threats to default on our loans have inhibited economic growth. She is obviously head and shoulders above those in the past. No one even commented on the fact she is the first woman nominated to head the FED. But we don't know yet whether Rand Paul or Lindsey Graham will hold up her nomination.
++By the way, can someone tell me what the GOP's plans are for healthcare in this country?
