The First in a Long Line?

In a story that is being overlooked by the media, Senate Democrats are starting to express "regret over how Democrats handled their large majorities following the 2008 election in passing ObamaCare when they should have focused first on economic issues to address the recession." Chuck Schumer, the Senate's #3 Democrat, is one of the first to step into this spotlight.

According to an article by the National Journal,

While Schumer emphasized during a speech at the National Press Club that he supports the law and that its policies "are and will continue to be positive changes," he argued that the Democrats acted wrongly in using their new mandate after the 2008 election to focus on the issue rather than the economy at the height of a terrible recession.

“After passing the stimulus, Democrats should have continued to propose middle-class-oriented programs and built on the partial success of the stimulus, but unfortunately Democrats blew the opportunity the American people gave them,” Schumer said. “We took their mandate and put all of our focus on the wrong problem—health care reform.”

With someone this high up in the Democrat Party stepping out of line, will he suffer the same consequences as Hagel, who "resigned" after disagreeing with the Presidents policy. Or is Chuck Schumer the first of a long line of Democrats looking to separate themselves from Obama as his term starts coming to an end?
