Politico: Obamacare's next threat a "September surprise"
Obamacare open enrollment closed March 31. The White House’s Obamacare war room did not.
Most state health insurance rates for 2015 are scheduled to be approved by early fall, and most are likely to rise, timing that couldn’t be worse for Democrats already on defense in the midterms.
The White House and its allies know they’ve been beaten in every previous round of Obamacare messaging, never more devastatingly than in 2010. And they know the results this November could hinge in large part on whether that happens again.
So they’re trying to avoid — or at least, get ahead of — any September surprise.
Aware that state insurance rate hikes could give Republicans a chance to resurrect Obamacare as a political liability just weeks before the midterms, the White House’s internal health care enrollment outreach apparatus immediately redirected into a rapid-response, blocking-and-tackling research and press operation geared toward preempting GOP attacks on the issue.

Wait for it. My prediction: Obama will make some kind of major concession on Obamacare just before the elections that will prevent state rates from going up, and then immediately rescind them immediately after the new Congress takes its seats in January.

Understand something: when Obamadontcare fails, it won't be Obama's fault. No....they are always saying "This is Mitt Romney's plan!"
