This would be the same Johnny Boehner who just two years ago -- really almost two and a half years ago -- signed off on the debt ceiling deal. Remember that one that had the seques

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: Look, at every level, every number that you get on this is either inflated or deceptive. As we just heard from Steve [Hayes], the number of enrollees are not enrollees. It's people who put stuff in their shopping cart. Amazon would never call it a sale until you get a sale. And they don't know how many have made the sale. And t

CHRIS MATTHEWS: One area where the president has clearly taken a hit is on the question of trust. In the latest NBC/Wall Street Journal poll, Americans were asked to rate the president on the qualities of being honest and straightforward. 37% rated him good, 43% said poor. And that's it.

NEIL CAVUTO: Well, I think what he was saying and what others said, what Paul Ryan has said, Senator, I could be wrong, he said, 'Look, whatever the government brought and whether the media fairly covered or not, we got the blame for it and we don't want to cross that bridge again. So let's focus on getting a deal, keep the attention on Obamacare.'

WOLF BLITZER: I don't know if you saw this poll that came out in "The Washington Post." It said, registered voters, if the 2012 presidential election -- you remember that -- were being held today, for whom would you vote? President Obama 45 percent, Mitt Romney 49 percent. This is a year after that election. You see those numbers, what goes thr

CNBC: House Republicans "capitulated" in agreeing to the two-year budget deal reached last night and left the country to deal with an unsustainable fiscal situation until the peak of the presidential primaries in 2015, when nothing will get done, former federal budget director David Stockman told CNBC on Wednesday.

IRIN CARMON, MSNBC: Well, I think people are reading a lot into a photo that captured a particular moment. If you look at other moments, Michelle Obama, who was accused of looking jealously at the Danish Prime Minister is smiling and laughing. This is a big tempest in a tea pot and it's a confluence of racist and sexist stereotypes as if Michelle i

REP. PITTS: Madame Secretary, based on current trend, it's likely that more individuals will have lost coverage on January 1 then will have gained it under the law. HHS released data this morning stating that approximately 364,000 Americans have selected a plan for state or federal exchange. Is that correct?  SEBELIUS: Yes sir.  PITTS: Of t
