It appears Democrats have finally had enough. They've given The Obama Administration until Friday of this week to repair Obamacare, or else they will consider breaking ranks and backing a GOP proposal to delay the mandate. Meanwhile Harry Reid insisted that the Republicans were still stuck in the past, "Stop carping about this. Get over it. It’s the law. It’s the legacy of Barack Obama and always will be. Let’s get over this and stop the mischievous, misfortunate speeches out here every day about how bad it is." He said. It appears this law is now entering its final hour of life.

Democratic senators facing voters next year are willing to give the White House time to resolve the glaring problems with Obamacare.
At the pleading of senior White House officials, Senate Democrats are holding off on demands to delay major aspects of the health care law until the Obama administration has the opportunity to fix the website problems that are thwarting enrollment in the program.
Democratic senators facing reelection have a green light to bash the White House and call for certain legislative fixes. But they’ve been urged by senior administration officials not to insist on delaying the controversial law’s core: The mandate for individuals to purchase insurance coverage or face penalties.
Their requests are being heeded — for now.
Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.), who attended a tense two-hour meeting with President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday over the issue, stressed that senators should give the administration just “a little bit” of breathing room.
