On Tuesday, the air raid sirens blared and the president came screaming out of the fog begging for aid. Matthews’ interview with the President of the United States will air on Thursday....
This is just the latest in a recent spate of poorly conceived, ill-timed strategic decisions this White House has made since the end of the government shutdown and the cosmic implosion of the Affordable Care Act. The political identity of Democrats – both in the grassroots and in Congress – is so inexorably tied to the ACA that they cannot abide the level of negative press this law has received continually since mid-October. The party’s left-wing, besieged and disoriented, is dragging the president by the nose into one bad move after the next....
The underlying problems associated with the ACA are fracturing the Democratic Party. So long as the ACA remains unreformed, the Democrats are in a losing position.
This White House’s transparently toothless maneuvering is not coming from a position of strength. Republicans and the public at large see this. When Democrats finally come to the same conclusion, their position will be dramatically weaker than it even is today.

◼ Obama on ObamaCare: There’s no way we’re repealing this boondoggle while I’m president, America - Allahpundit/HotAir
Is this really the message Democrats wanted him to put out today, when news outlets are filled with stories about rate shock, glitchy enrollments, and catastrophic security lapses? I thought the headline was supposed to be “ObamaCare is wonderful,” not “There’s nothing you can do.” Good lord.

◼ Mark Levin Unloads on ‘Sick S.O.B.,’ ‘Pathetic’ Matthews: ‘He Is Truly a Deranged Moron!’ - Josh Feldman/Mediaite
Following his lengthy interview with President Obama, Chris Matthews attacked his GOP opponents as less patriotic than Nelson Mandela‘s opponents. Mark Levin took Matthews to the woodshed on Friday for this rather strenuous comparison.
Levin said at the outset that Matthews is most assuredly “off his rocker,” and took a shot at the “conga line of freaks” at MSNBC before playing the audio of Matthews attacking Obama’s opponents. Levin called him “one sick S.O.B.” and a “little puke” for having the gall to attack any critics of the president when he and his “left-wing kooks” did everything in their power to attack Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon, and other Republican presidents.
But beyond that, it was thoroughly absurd to Levin that Obama is in any way comparable to Mandela, saying that Obama never went through the kind of suffering Mandela did, and it’s not unpatriotic for the minority to check the president’s power. He suggested Matthews read up on how black conservatives like Clarence Thomas have been treated before trying to compare Obama and Mandela....
