| Obamacare Victims Are ‘Liars,’ Says Top Democrat Thursday, Feb 27, 2014 02:45 AM PST  Remember "I feel your pain" - Bill Clinton's plaintive response to the woes of Middle America turned into a signature line for his administration, which became a cliché in American politics? The biggest political attack against Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election related to the exposure of his remarks about the "47 percent" and how out of touch it made the wealthy Republican nominee to the plight of the struggling working classes.

Since Barack Obama recently signaled he has all but given up on legislating with Republicans, and since John Boehner has flat out said he can't trust the president, the assumption in Washington is that the chances for big legislation anytime soon are basically zero, whether the White House breaks out the good china or not.
