Jake Tapper: Obama ‘Resentful’ GOP’ers in Congress Refused to Help Craft Obamacare (Mediaite)

Following the conclusion of President Barack Obama’s speech on the implementation of the Affordable Care Act and the problems some people are experiencing while attempting to navigate the insurance exchanges online, a CNN panel dug into comments Obama made during that speech attacking Republicans. CNN host Jake Tapper said that the president is “resentful” of Republicans who refused to collaborate on the crafting of the ACA, forcing it to be passed with only Democratic votes.

CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer asked Tapper if he was “surprised” by Obama’s pivot to a political attack on Republicans in Congress amid his defense of the ACA’s implementation.
