Washington (CNN) – Only four out of 10 Americans believe President Barack Obama can manage the federal government effectively, according to a new national poll.
And a CNN/ORC International survey released Monday morning also indicates that 53% of Americans now believe that Obama is not honest and trustworthy, the first time that a clear majority in CNN polling has felt that way.

(Via Politico) Democratic leaders claim the bungled launch of Obamacare is just the latest news sensation — a media-stirred tempest that looks in the heat of the moment like it could upend the midterm election, but ends up fizzling well before voters head to the polls.
Some party strategists say they’re in denial.
And that perceived gap between party spin and facts on the ground is fueling worries that the White House and Democratic higher-ups aren’t taking the possible electoral blowback seriously enough or doing enough to shield their candidates. Democratic contenders in the toughest races are distinctly less convinced that Obamacare will fade as an election-year issue — and they can’t afford to just cross their fingers that things get ironed out or that Republicans revert to political hara-kiri.

How do you know this is immediate state run media propaganda?   Well, setting aside the fact it’s Clinton’s White House Communications Director -who became Senior Democrat Advisor For Policy and Strategy- George Stephanopoulos doing the interview, the first sentence reveals structure and propaganda.

“I spoke to John Kerry earlier this morning right after he sealed the deal”.

“this morning” as in Europe time.
Kerry held his presser at 4:45am to 5:30am Euro time. [As in 10:45 to 11:30pm DC time]. So this interview was actually done Saturday night (midnight-ish) for airing today.
Follow.The.Bouncing.Ball…… So this interview was previously arranged/coordinated between the White House (Administration McDonough) and ABC (Pravda).

NRO has a detailed explanation which is 100% in-line with all the research and prior considerations we have assembled.    The only point of contention I would lay over the well written article would be to remind readers it is not a construct of just Barack Obama per se’.  He is, after all, merely a willing participant in the scheme.   The actual architecture comes from a league of people, the circle of influence, in and around him.

( Via NRO) […]  The point of showing that Obama is carrying out a massive scheme to defraud — one that certainly would be prosecuted if committed in the private sector — is not to agitate for a prosecution that is never going to happen. It is to demonstrate that there is logic to the lies. There is an objective that the fraud aims to achieve. The scheme is the framework within which the myriad deceptions are peddled. Once you understand the scheme, once you can put the lies in a rational context, you understand why fraud was the president’s only option — and why “If you like your plan, you can keep your plan” barely scratches the surface of Obamacare’s deceit.
In 2003, when he was an ambitious Illinois state senator from a hyper-statist district, Obama declared: (more…)

Twelve hours after President Obama announces a John Kerry brokered deal with Iran the international community responds.

(Via New York Post)  People are puzzled: Why would Barack Obama have lied about how wonderfully everything was going to go with ObamaCare when officials in his administration knew perfectly well that disaster was going to strike?
In one sense, the answer is simple: At the time, just before Oct. 1, Republicans were insisting ObamaCare be delayed or defunded. The president and his team weren’t going to give the enemy the satisfaction of agreeing — or the potent ammunition that would have come from a rueful admission the system wasn’t ready.
Today, a bipartisan agreement to delay ObamaCare seems like it would have been a pretty good deal. It didn’t look that way at all in the last two weeks of September.
But there’s a deeper reason he and his people lied: They did it because they could. They did it because nearly five years in the White House had given Obama and his team confidence they would not face the music and they could finesse the problems until they got fixed. (more…)

You have to give the Democrats credit for the openly visible audacity to call Republicans Obstructionists and Terrorists for their delay tactics –  then openly doing exactly the same when it can be used to serve their political interests.

Obama just delayed the start of Obamacare enrollments from Oct. 15, 2014 to Nov. 15, 2014..after the midterm election.

Just a few weeks ago even suggesting moving Obamacare deadlines was "arson" and "terrorism." Now it's White House policy.

Meanwhile a nation of slack jaws just stand quietly and watch a spineless Congress do exactly NOTHING about it.

The Washington Post has an article today finally solving the riddle of who was driving the tank in his historic picture of Tiananmen Square.   
According to Washington Post columnist, Bill Minutaglio, the driver of the tank in the famous Tiananmen Square picture was Thomas Jefferson;  yes, that Thomas Jefferson.
(Washington Post)   […]  To find the very roots of the tea party of 2013, just go back to downtown Dallas in 1963,   back to the months and weeks leading to the Kennedy assassination. It was where and when a deeply angry political polarization, driven by a band of zealots, burst wide open in America.

Sometimes the only thing a person can do is to inform others the scope, size and propensity of the opponents armory – the listener can then judge for themselves what the enemy is going to do with it.

Paul Revere did as much when he spotted The Somerset, a British Man-O-War, resting in the bay of Charlestown – His mounted ride thereafter was written into the history of our Republic.
Today the enemy is more common; yet beholden of a similar stealth and specific intent.   Today the enemy is, as it was well predicted to be, the Washington DC political class.  More specifically the GOP establishment; and more specific still – the head of that class, Mitch McConnell. (more…)
