Prediction: Today, President Obama will come out with another politispeak correction *of sorts*, where he tacks toward the American People, saying that: “HHS’s efforts to improve the quality of healthcare” -has resulted in- “insurance companies choosing to *transition* plans“.
The slow and subtle goal will be to position HHS, not him, as the perceiver-in-origin of the misleading information. Kathleen Sebelius has already been determined to be expendable – her release/discharge will come as soon as the website is working correctly. The end of the newly nuanced (McDonough/Jarrett directed) statement will be summarized around: “we must overcome any potential flaw or glitch, accepting the motive was pure, and demand everyone participate in getting things moving forward”.
Using his traditional approach of divide and conquer, if you do not support the forward looking goal of successful implementation – you are a hateful, selfish non-patriot who does not care about the poor or afflicted.

Like this one from Jonathan Tucker:

‘This is a self portrait of my self under a glacier in Alaska took with a 360 camera to get the most possible angles of the picture. This was by far  the most amazing experience. This cave took me more than two hours to reach on a  hike over a mountainside through swamps and about 30 minutes of walking on the  glacier itself. When I first walked under the Glacier it was the most breath  taking and scary experience I have lived’ 

Remember when you were a kid and it was Saturday morning?    That feeling of waking up and then remembering, oh yeah, it’s Saturday… NO SCHOOL 😀  ?
…. well, I don’t know about you – but with all the stuff swirling around – I call “timeout” !!
But you must first pass the test.   Can you spot the conservative in this picture?

[Via The Peoples Cube]  Comrades, President Obama needs your help to raise everyone’s awareness of how the government shutdown is utterly ruining everyone’s lives and destroying everything in its path, and all at the behest of those greedy, evil anarchists, arsonists, extortionists, bomb-throwers, flame-throwers, terrorists, fearmongers, hatemongers, hostage-takers, killers, murderers, and thieves that make up the Tea Party Republicans, who are holding their guns, including assault weapons, to the heads of the American people, strapping explosives to the chests of children, and chowing down on kittens and puppies and bunnies while forcing everyone else to starve to death!
