Report: White House nightmare persists

A report at the link below says that after the end of Barack Obama’s worst week since taking power a year ago, his fortunes are set to deteriorate over the coming days.

Following the shock defeat of the Democratic candidate in Massachusetts last week, a move that deprived the president of his 60-seat super-majority in the Senate and left his legislative agenda in tatters, Mr. Obama has just four days to reboot the system.

Barack Obama originally delayed next week’s State of the Union address to Congress in the hope he would get his signature healthcare reform bill enacted in time.

The death of the healthcare effort would rob Mr. Obama of what he had hoped would be the centerpiece of his first State of the Union message.

A growing number of Democrats believe the nine-month ObamaCare effort could collapse altogether.
