In conceding that his administration “fumbled the rollout” of the Affordable Care Act, President Barack Obama acknowledged Thursday that he must “win back some credibility.”
“You know, regardless of what Congress does, ultimately I’m the President of the United States and they expect me to do something about it,” Obama said at a news conference announcing his “fix” for the health care law.
“So in terms of how I intend to approach it, I’m just going to keep on working as hard as I can around the priorities that the American people care about. And I think it’s legitimate for them to expect me to have to win back some credibility on this health care law in particular and on a whole range of these issues in general. You know, that’s on me. I mean, we fumbled the rollout on this health care law.”
