Finish off America being at the top of the list.

Via CBS News:

With the end-of-the-month deadline looming to fix HealthCare.gov, there is a growing realization among President Obama and his allies that they need a long-term strategy to mitigate the rocky rollout of the Affordable Care Act.

What exactly that strategy is remains to be seen, but it is increasingly necessary as Democrats grow frustrated with the slow pace of repairs and how that will impact their own political futures. Members of Mr. Obama’s party are increasingly unwilling to back his every move. Thirty-nine House Democrats – nearly one-fifth of the caucus -helped passĀ a Republican plan Friday that would allow insurers to keep selling plans that existed on the individual market as of Jan. 1, 2013 through next year, in order to stop Americans from losing their insurance. Roughly three quarters of those Democrats are in competitive electoral districts where continued association with the failing health law can cut deep.

So Mr. Obama is turning to a familiar playbook to go on the offensive: shore up support among his base, the members of the grassroots Organizing for Action, which grew out of Mr. Obama’s initial election and re-election efforts.

“I want to cut through the noise and talk with you directly about where we’re headed in the fight for change,” the president said to OFA members in an email inviting them to join a conference call on Monday. “I have just over three years left as president — and there’s a lot left on my to-do list. That’s why I want to talk with you. You’re the ones putting in the time and effort to achieve real progress, and fighting to make the agenda Americans voted for last fall a reality. I know we all care about what we can get done together these next few years, so let’s talk about how to make it happen.”
