Chuck Todd: Obama Should "Lower The Bar" For Obamacare So "Lazy Media" Won"t Attack Him





CHUCK TODD: I think the 80% — I have to say, you got to say at least they’re learning some lesson here which is lower the bar because they know it’s not going to run perfectly on November 30th. And if you promised a perfect website then you would have lazy media and some in the opposition party who would just say, ‘A-ha! The website took… look it! There’s the hourglass! There’s the hourglass! It’s circling!’


MIKA BRZEZINSKI: Lower the bar, which is something they should have done.


TODD: You’ve got to lower the bar a little bit.

Chuck Foley, Co-Created Twister, Dies At 82



Audio for this story from Morning Edition will be available at approximately 9:00 a.m. ET.






Festivalgoers play a giant game of Twister during the Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts in southwest England last month.

Charles “Chuck” Foley and his business partner Neil Rabens invented the game for Milton Bradley in 1966.


The pair originally called it Pretzel, and it was Milton Bradley that came up with the name Twister.


On All Things Considered last night, hosts Robert Siegel and Audie Cornish gave instructions on how to play the game, and reminded listeners about how it was responsible for some very ‘awkward” moments.


Twister is now manufactured by Hasbro Inc., and the company says it remains a top seller.


But if your Twister-playing days are behind you, Foley invented another product that doesn’t require you to get down on the floor.


He created un-du, a liquid adhesive remover.


Foley’s son Mark, president of un-du Products, Inc., told ATC that his father “enjoyed creating products and items.”


Chuck Foley died earlier this month in St. Paul, Minn., at the age of 82.
