Team Obama reached out to the three major networks Tuesday, requesting a prime time slot for the president to announce that ObamaCare had achieved 7.1 million enrollees. The administration was rejected by all three.
Obama wanted to celebrate reaching the “7 million threshold,” a number widely disputed. Sources told Buzzfeed that the White House was seeking to “reintroduce” the law in an effort to shake off the negative stigma attached to it.
So the President opted instead for a Rose Garden announcement in the afternoon, and played to a much smaller TV audience than he had hoped. Of course, he couldn’t pass up the opportunity to take a shot at Republicans, as is his habit whenever he touts one of his “successes.”
