Obama Attempting Another “Panic Pivot” After ObamaCare Disaster

ObamaCare is a train wreck, millions (and counting) are losing their health insurance, and President Obama’s poll numbers are sinking to new record lows.

So what does the White House do? It pivots – for at least the fifth time this year – to the economy.

Obama’s other “panic pivots” are well documented, and they don’t tend to last very long. President Obama’s failed liberal policies on spending and stimulus are just as unpopular as he is, so this pivot, just like the ones before it, won’t work. It’s a shame that, instead of relieving Americans’ concerns over ObamaCare and working to roll back the disastrous health care law, the White House is attempting to pull a fast one on the voters yet again.

From The Hill:

The White House, for at least the fifth time this year, is seeking to pivot to the economy, this time in a bid to change the subject from the disastrous rollout of ObamaCare.

It’s a common play for the White House, which frequently seeks to refocus attention on its jobs and infrastructure agenda when facing political crises.

The move is so familiar that NBC White House correspondent Chuck Todd has dubbed it the “déjà pivot.”

The Hill counted at least five times the White House has sought to pivot to the economy this year by reviewing news accounts.

Republicans, citing their own statistics, argue that President Obama has circled back to the economy at least 14 times since 2011.

The formula is rote: Following a misstep or messaging error that battered Obama’s approval ratings, the White House announces events intended to promote the president’s economic agenda.

The most recent pivot began Monday with Obama’s trip to the West Coast.
