The media is beginning to outline the financial insurance “bailouts” embedded into Obamacare.
But there’s a BIGGER picture being overlooked. Remember, this is entire process is now under the political control of Denis McDonough and Valerie Jarrett. All other considerations need to be thrown out – or you end up chasing your tail.
Obamacare, the construct thereof, the actual reality of it, is a political risk to the Democrats. The White House (McDonough / Jarrett) does not want the HHS website to be open because it now represents a reality flaw inherent in Obamacare.
Average people will be paying more for less. A working website that allows such comparisons is not in their best political interests.
So they will work diligently to keep these truths hidden. First, by manipulating the structural architechture of the website itself; second, by directing people away from the government aspect and directly to contact with the insurance providers.
The McDonough/ValJar goal is to insert distance between the real pain of an awakened electorate and the connection to that pain being caused by the White House.

The real irony is this is the exact same part of Pennsylvania Candidate Obama was talking about when he made his famous “gun-toting, bitter bible clingers” remark.
PENNSYLVANIA – Chambersburg, PA residents voted Mayor Pete Lagiovane (D) out of office on November 5th after he signed up to be part of former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG).
According to Salena Zito on RealClearPolitics.com, the anti-gun influence of Bloomberg made Chambersburg hunters and gun owners feel like they were under attack. And the combination of Bloomberg and “Washington [trying to regulate] gun ownership with more background checks” caused Chambersburg residents “to react in the only respectful way they know: [by voting] out of office those who are infringing on their way of life.”
Mayor-elect Darren Brown (R) says that once he is sworn into office in January 2014, “the very, very first thing [he’d] like to do is get Chambersburg off the [MAIG] list.” (more…)
President Barack Obama’s mishandling of the Affordable Care Act rollout has been incompetent, Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward said, but it doesn’t rise to past president-dooming scandals. (more…)
Back in 2009 Senator Jim DeMint began the Senate Conservatives Fund (SCF). The goal was to fund conservative candidates of like-minded association who could join with DeMint and push back against the establishment class of big government Republicans, the Decepticons.
DeMint’s efforts brought forth folks like Pat Toomey, Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, Mike Lee, Ted Cruz, Tim Scott and a guy named Ron Johnson from Wisconsin.
However, during the recent defund Obamacare fight, Senator Johnson pulled the “Robert The Bruce move” and was the only member of the Tea Party supported Senate Conservative team to break ranks. Johnson sided with the Decepticons and Democrats and voted to approve “cloture”. [If you ever saw the movie Braveheart you know who Robert The Bruce is – That’s Ron Johnson].
Since then he has been on a campaign to get back his credibility, his old image, and hide his Decepticon infection. We will provide no cover for him – nor will we forget.
Johnson’s latest self-serving exploit was to present the GOP weekly address today:

We harbor no illusions as to the importance of the Kentucky Senate Race in 2014. The primary, which takes place in May, will determine far more than the next Senator from Kentucky.
That’s why Mitch McConnell will attack Matt Bevin relentlessly and he will use the full weight of the establishment GOP Republicans to do it.
If Mitch McConnell wins – Conservatives will have lost. Period. McConnell MUST be defeated.

FRANKFORT — Saying there should be no doubt that he intends to win the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate next year, Louisville businessman Matt Bevin filed Friday to try to unseat Republican incumbent Mitch McConnell.
Bevin’s wife, Glenna, and Larry Forgy, a Lexington attorney who lost the 1995 GOP bid for governor and is an ardent opponent of McConnell, signed Bevin’s filing papers in the office of Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes in the Capitol.
Grimes is expected to be the Democratic nominee in next year’s U.S. Senate race, which political observers have estimated will cost $100 million in campaign spending.
Bevin, a well-heeled investment manager in Louisville, had announced in July that he would be a candidate. He has founded several firms and has invested in companies with interests ranging from manufacturing to software. (more…)
OY, this level of arrogance is merely reflective. Rand Paul says Mitch McConnell challenger, Matt Bevin, is a “good, honest, Christian man”. McConnell’s campaign manager gets tweeked and says Rand Paul misspoke.
The arrogance of the power hungry McConnell people is astounding. I’m thinking Rand Paul can speak for himself, but that’s just me….
FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) – Tea party darling Rand Paul has endorsed Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, [the reason is well outlined HERE] but he’s saying kind words about McConnell’s GOP primary challenger, Louisville businessman Matt Bevin.
Paul referred to Bevin as a “good, honest, Christian man” and said he doesn’t have anything bad to say about McConnell’s challenger. Paul made the comments Friday in Louisville, shortly after Bevin filed to run against McConnell in next May’s GOP primary in Kentucky. (more…)
“I think Democratic politics drove yesterday more than anything else. There was widespread panic on Capitol Hill this week… But you know the bigger, the thing we’re not really talking about – he didn’t fix anything. There was nothing that was fixed because he doesn’t have the power to do it. John Boehner’s right.”
UPDATE – Oops, original post had wrong link to McDonough article — Fixed now, Sorry.
WASHINGTON DC – […] McDonough, speaking privately to Democrats in a closed session Thursday afternoon, said the president’s hands were tied, to an extent, in trying to move the policy to fit his promise.
“We do not have a deal where everyone who has received a cancellation notice that they can re-buy. We can’t mandate that,” he said, according to sources present. But, he argued, the new policy shifts the burden for cancellations to state insurance commissioners and insurance companies — an important political distinction. If a tea party Republican contends that someone lost his or her insurance because of the law, McDonough said “that is absolutely untrue.”
At one point, Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) asked why the White House isn’t doing more to blame insurers for policy cancellation notices.
McDonough replied that there are good actors and bad actors in the insurance industry.
“I think it is dangerous to paint with a broad brush,” he said. (LINK)
In essence Obama’s “fixer”, Denis McDonough, is saying there are people in the Insurance industry who are “with us“, and there are some “against us“.
The problem looks like this: (more…)
