What Did Rep. Heath Shuler Say About Obama Continuing To Push His Government-Run Health Care Experiment?

REP. HEATH SHULER (D-NC) WANTS OBAMA’S “HEALTH CARE LEGISLATION TO GO AWAY”: “I Was Actually Surprised That They’re Pushing It Again. The Most Important Thing Is Jobs, Jobs, Jobs, Jobs. We Need To Focus On Jobs. ... I Don’t Think A Comprehensive Bill Can Pass ... I Hate To Use A Football Analogy, But First Downs Are A Lot Better Than Throwing The Bomb Route Or The Hail Mary.” (Jon Ward, “Democrats’ Attempts To Coordinate Health-Care Message Leave Republicans Scratching Their Heads,” The Daily Caller, 2/24/10)
