We know that President Obama and the Democrats have already blasted Republicans for not helping “fix” the unfolding disaster that is Obamacare, and the White House has set its sights on somebody else to blame:

WOW, he’s really running out of fingers to point.
President Obama told activists they need to fight through a wave of negative press stories about Obamacare this year to ensure enrollment numbers go up, and said plans are still affordable despite stories saying premiums will rise sharply in 2017.
“We’re not going to get that much help from the media,” Obama told the more than 25,000 volunteers who joined a White House call with Obama Thursday afternoon. “This is going to be a ground game.”
Ha! Sure, because the mainstream media’s always been working against the Obama administration, right!?
The press is sending those premium hike letters, canceling people's plans, and forcing insurers out of the exchanges?? Wow! ? #whining https://t.co/0b2ffrdX7I

Yesterday it was Republicans' fault, now it's the media. Total number of media and Republicans who voted for/had any input in Obamacare = 0. https://t.co/rGjeM95bL4

Obama’s legacy will be to leave everybody laughing for all the wrong reasons.
His lap dogs? Cute. https://t.co/jijTNij1M7

This is beyond parody. The press had to be shamed into even acknowledging Gruber. https://t.co/GJeyQz2Pvh

Yes, the press made Obamacare fail.
Or…… maybe it was the horrific plan itself that failed on its own. https://t.co/a4qXISwjtR

In a way, he's right. If the press had actually done some real investigative work in 2009, we wouldn't be in this mess.

"If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor" The media made that up?

The press will apologize in 3…2…1…

It wouldn’t be surprising.
