'Keep Your Plan' bill puts Obama in bind

It sucks to be Barack Obama. A bipartisan bill making its way through Congress would fix one of Obamacare's key failings: Obama's oft-repeated lie that you can keep your health plan if you're happy with it. Without provisions to cancel existing plans and force people into government exchanges, Obamacare collapses under its own weight. So there goes Obama's legacy. "If the president is sincerely sorry that he misled the American people, the very least he can do is support this bipartisan effort," Boehner said in a statement Thursday night. "Otherwise, this apology doesn't amount to anything." If the bill passes both chambers of Congress, will Obama veto it? Would Democrats, already fearing a voter backlash in 2014, override his veto? Would Dirty Harry Reid block the bill in the Senate and risk losing control of the Senate to Republicans? Stay tuned ....
