After Senate Republicans suffered a major setback when their bill to repeal Obamacare failed early Friday morning, a spokesman for former President Barack Obama called for Congress to improve the Affordable Care Act in a bipartisan manner.
In a statement, Obama spokesman Kevin Lewis said that Obamacare is “bigger than politics” and lauded the law for giving health insurance to millions of Americans.
“The Affordable Care Act has made American stronger and healthier, but there will always be more work to do,” Lewis added. “President Obama has always said we should build on this law, just as members of both parties worked together to improve Seocial Security, Medicare, and Medicaid over the years. President Obama still believes that it is possible for Congress to demonstrate the necessary bipartisanship and political courage to keep delivering on the promise of quality, affordable health insurance for every American.”

Lil’ Donnie’s gonna be frosty. How dare the blah man opine on the path forward!?
How I miss that man.
Classy as ever.
Off topic but I think the Boy Scouts really need to invite Obama to speak even if the jamboree is over. It’s appropriate and warranted and they’d get a barn burner of a speech and great publicity for it.
Ooooh, someone at the WH is gonna howl about this. Mooch, Huckster, KAC, maybe even Donnie himself.
