"the whole horrors-of-Obamacare meme will be gone in weeks, not months."

I hope not. I hope Democrats bring up the Reich-wingers lies every damn day through 2014 and 2016 and show who has been helped, and do it so often Rethuglican eyes and ears start to bleed.

In fact, there are plenty of examples where people have signed up and received enormous health care benefits despite a sloppy federal website, examples the Dems should be pushing 24x7 right now.

So why aren't they?
