OBAMACARE DISTRACTION – Predicted October 21st –  Shooter: Paul Anthony Ciancia, 23-years-old  Originally from South New Jersey – “Assault Rifle“…  “anti-government“….  “fatigues”…   “Friday – Busy Weekend – Hollywood”

A law enforcement official, who was briefed at LAX on the investigation but not authorized to speak publicly, said the gunman was wearing fatigues and carrying a bag containing a hand-written note that said he “wanted to kill TSA and pigs.” The official requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly.

Forget the numbers, they are embarrassingly shameful all alone – but that’s not the real story…. that story about how low the number is can be subject to  spin…. as you’ll see in the next 18 blistering hours.   The administration will claim this does not include phone sign-ups or mailed in applications etc.

No, instead focus on the real story.   This CMS Obamacare enrollment report proves it is possible for the administration to answer the question.    This report proves THEY KNOW each day how many have enrolled…. yet they have claimed they do not know.   THAT is the bigger story.

WASHINGTON DC [ Via CBS]  Documents obtained exclusively by CBS News show that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services are intentionally fudging statistics on enrollment and application through state and federal exchanges.

The notes leave no doubt that some enrollment figures, which the administration has chosen to keep secret, are available. (more…)

Pay attention to what she is quoted saying:

 ….“No matter what people say about whether they like their plan or not, their plan was not going to be their plan, everybody’s premiums were going up.”…

Again, can you see the design?   The regulations were written by HHS on behalf of Obama to force any insurance carrier who increased premiums by $5 to comply with the Obamacare mandates in coverage.    Pelosi is saying “they knew everybody’s premiums were going to go up”.. that is why they built in that specific trigger for cancellation.
WASHINGTON DC – Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) pushed back hard Wednesday against those hammering ObamaCare for forcing some patients out of their current insurance plans.
The House minority leader said the number of patients who will have to change plans under the law is small, and they will ultimately benefit by moving into new plans with better coverage.
“While you might like your old plan, what you’re going to get under the new plan is that [it does] not discriminate on the basis of pre-existing conditions, does not deny you a key benefit like … maternal, mental health or prescription drug coverage and cannot drop you when you are sick,” Pelosi said during a press conference in the Capitol.

The current meme for antagonism around Obamacare is to point out the falsehood behind the statement: “If you like your insurance plan/doctor, you can keep it“.

Anyone who has spent even a modicum of time following and researching this administration will note the only wording out of place was the first use of the term “you”.
The statement from President Obama would have been accurate if he had said:

..”If I like your insurance plan, you can keep it”

Where “I” is actually defined as the political ideology behind the phrase.  It is the progressive ideology which defines what you can, or cannot, have.  Period.
The entire premise of the ACA, or Obamacare, was government defining all the common denominators.
In essence they needed to create two impressions, one real and one false.
The false impression was the one they stated publicly.  This was the one to make sure the electorate voted as they needed.    The real impression is what they were doing, and what they actually did – in the architecture and construction of the new national healthcare.
It does not provide value to rise up against the false impression – it’s a snipe hunt.   The uprising needs to be focused on the real action that took place.    Actions speak louder than words, yet so many people fail to focus their pushback approach on the action;  instead they get stuck focusing on the words.

Must watch – But someone please tell me what’s with the crew of New Jersey Dem Congressmen. Seriously. This is the third one highlighted in three consecutive days, with the exact same bizarre logic and arrogant outlook. Another really nasty fellow.
Are a lot of people in New Jersey like this, or only their congressional representatives?

Democratic congressman Frank Pallone is getting his fifteen minutes of fame after his now-infamous “monkey court” comment last week, and on Wednesday night it brought him to Fox News, where he got in a heated exchange with Megyn Kelly over people losing their “lousy” health insurance plans due to Obamacare regulations.
Pallone argued that people can keep their policies as long as insurance companies agree to sell them, but many of them have been caught selling “lousy plans at a high price that are skeletal and don’t provide any benefits.”

As you watch this discussion segment on CNN imagine how the tone of the coverage would be broadcast if George W. Bush was in the White House.

.
Whenever you see the words “threats” and “directly from the White House” in one sentence or phrase, you can be intellectually confident President Obama’s Chief of Staff, Denis “The Fixer” McDonough, is the source of the pressure.
McDonough has a reputation around D.C. – as a rabid mind-fixer in his mission to ‘set the record straight’ with democratic politicians and mainstream media types, who dare veer off the political reservation.
It’s rather humorous in a way to see a glorified political functionary like McDonough act the part of a seasoned and experienced political heavyweight.

CONTEXT FIRST – Tomorrow HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is set to testify before congress.   For those of you who are unfamiliar with how congressional hearings work there is a rule of bi-partisan discovery where Dem’s must share information to be used during the hearing with Republicans, and vice-versa.
This is done so that no-one is caught off guard with anything that takes place in the hearings.   It’s somewhat of a ruse (under the excuse of professional courtesy) that few people know about.  Congressional hearings are investigative only to the extent the questions being asked are not known by the opposing party.  However, each knows what documents and evidence the other has walking in.
Why is that pertinent?   Simply because when you see the media do these pre-hearing exclusive/confidential document stories you know the source of the leaked intel is the party seeking to diminish the impact.  It’s just how they roll.    The Dem’s gave this CGI report to CNN so that CNN could write up a story and remove the *shock value* in advance of the hearing.
Washington (CNN) – The Obama administration was given stark warnings just one month before that the federal healthcare site was not ready to go live, according to a confidential report obtained by CNN.
The caution, from the main contractor CGI, warned of a number of open risks and issues for the HealthCare.gov web site even as company executives were testifying publicly that the project had achieved key milestones. (more…)

Pinch me. Chris Matthews goes a little off the water-carrying range in this discussion around Benghazi? It actually appears that Chris Matthews is either a.) embarrassed by CBS’s Lara Logan, who actually did a direct 60 minutes segment, or, b.) struggling to reconcile that Hillary’s “at this point what difference does it make” comment is pure obfuscation not grounded in fact.

Could it be that Chris Matthews actually does recognize, albeit 13 months after the fact, that President Obama and Hillary Clinton chose to let Americans be slaughtered in Benghazi ?
Could the truth of this be comprehensible to Obama/Hillary defender Matthews?
Nah, me neither.
The White House will call him and yank his leash back shortly.

Whoopsie – Yesterday evening we shared an NBC Investigative article with an excerpt and link.  The article outlined how Obama knew all along millions of Americans would lose their health insurance coverage despite his election year claim “if you like your insurance you can keep it”.
However, just after midnight 10/29 NBC took down the original article and replaced it with THIS ONE creating a broken link.    If you compare the two you’ll note NBC took out the following paragraph:

…”None of this should come as a shock to the Obama administration. The law states that policies in effect as of March 23, 2010 will be “grandfathered,” meaning consumers can keep those policies even though they don’t meet requirements of the new health care law. But the Department of Health and Human Services then wrote regulations that narrowed that provision, by saying that if any part of a policy was significantly changed since that date — the deductible, co-pay, or benefits, for example — the policy would not be grandfathered”….

NBC did *not* note their edit – they just deleted the original article and added another albeit modified one in it’s place.    You might wonder what took place between the original NBC post, and new, well, less confrontational one.
That is, you might wonder, until you note the date and time of the following tweet:

FACT: Nothing in #Obamacare forces people out of their health plans. No change is required unless insurance companies change existing plans.
