Unintended Consequences of the budget deal

   Earlier this year, the government was shut down. The GOP/Tea Party wanted Obamacare defunded. OBAMA, aka Il Douche, MAObama, the Obamination, etc, ad infinitum shut it down to save his flagship legislation. With the aid of his helpful media supporters, the GOP and Tea Party caught the blame.
   The poll numbers for the GOP and Tea Party went way down and Il Douche was having the time of his life blaming the GOP and Tea Party for the shutdown. Obama loved it because it was putting other crises to rest.
   To end the shutdown, the GOP backed down and passed a budget extension for "bipartisan talks."
  After a couple of months, Paul Ryan and "Red Patty" Murray (D-WA) have negotiated a budget that Il Douche will actually sign.
  The budget sucks. It cuts veterans benefits, including disabled vets. It does NOT cut welfare benefits. It has a lot of people in an uproar. People want to (to put it politely) crucify Paul Ryan, John Boehner and any Republican who voted for this budget.
   I'm seeing something truly evil in this budget and it bounces right back on the Democrats in ways they never imagined. The Democrats  thought the GOP is rolling over and giving up.
   Yes, the GOP is rolling over on key issues, mainly veteran's issues, but also on tax increases.
   But once the initial outrage is over, the public focus will go right back on the ongoing "issues" Obama's Regime has, primarily Obamacare (being called Affordable Care Act because the Democrats do not want to link it to Obama now).
   The first unintended consequence of this budget agreement is to deny Obama a "distraction" and keep the focus on Obamacare's ongoing failures. There will be no more budget distractions for two years. Plenty of time to focus on Obamacare's ongoing failure and all those other scandals that keep getting swept under the rug.
   That focus doesn't hurt the GOP or Tea Party any--it helps them. We've already seen anger FROM the media at Obama and his paid liar Jay Carney over not being allowed to take photos and AP-Gate.
   It's a known fact that Obama does not take criticism well, doesn't do good "damage control," nor is he a proactive thinker. His way of getting out of a crisis is to bring up another one. Without the budget to hide behind, his current crop of failures become an anchor around the Democrat Party's neck.
   As Obamacare's failures are drilled into the minds of the public, Democrats are getting nervous because THEY VOTED FOR IT. They bragged on it during the 2010 and 2012 elections and claimed how good it was. They said it would bring jobs, cheapen the cost of healthcare, etc. and it hasn't.
   They cannot brag on it. They cannot say "It's going to get better" while costs of the "bronze" plans are even worse than the plans people lost. They cannot say how well it works while Obama continuously pushes back full implementation. They can only bend over, grab their ankles and hang on for the second and greatest unintended consequence of all.
   Obamacare will cost the Democrats bigtime in 2014 and 2016. Then it will be repealed.
