Surprising article from the liberal Washington Post. It is definitely Denis McDonough and Valerie Jarrett’s #1 job to figure out how to avoid the dropped coverage healthcare explosion set to go off just before the election of 2014.
(Washington Post) Democrats are praying that this weekend’s relaunch of the Obamacare Web site will save them from an electoral bloodbath in 2014. Their hopes are misplaced. Here are five numbers that suggest that public anger over Obamacare will only grow as Election Day 2014 approaches:
5.5 million. That is how many people the administration needs to sign up in just 23 days because Obamacare drove them out of their health-care plans. That’s some 240,000 sign-ups every single day, just to break even.
Getting that many enrolled in a few weeks would be extraordinarily difficult even if the Web site were working perfectly, which it isn’t. According to the New York Times, the system is still sending insurers inaccurate or incomplete information, and the companies are being “deluged with phone calls from people who believe they have signed up for a particular health plan, only to find that the company has no record of the enrollment.” (more…)

I hate to take exception with a substantive portion of this article but it misses several key factors.    Not the least of which is the decision to say: “….. if you like your plan/doctor, you can keep your plan/doctor – period”….., was not made AFTER the 2012 election, it was made way, way before.  President Obama and  crew were using this talking point in 2009 and 2010 (throughout term #1) and beyond – all the way to this summer.
The article seems to blame the absence of Axelrod, Gibbs and Plouffe for that fatal Obamacare talking point mistake.  This is factually incorrect.  David Axelrod, Robert Gibbs, David Plouffe and *others*, including those still there, were all present when that decision was made.
(The Hill) Former administration officials and Democratic operatives say President Obama is ill-served by his current White House staff and must reboot his second term team following the disastrous ObamaCare rollout.
First-term insiders argue the White House’s weakness was defined by a lack of preparedness, messaging blunders and failure to keep the president informed.
They say Obama’s team lacks depth after the departures of longtime advisers David Axelrod, David Plouffe, Robert Gibbs and Patrick Gaspard, and suggest new people must be brought on.
“You basically have [White House senior adviser Dan] Pfeiffer and [deputy chief of staff] Rob Nabors running the show politically, and that’s it,” one former administration official said. (more…)

Receptionist: Hello. Welcome to obamaflowers, my name is Valerie. How may I help you?

Customer: Hello. I received an email from Professional Flowers stating that my flower order has been canceled, and I should go to your exchange to reorder it. I tried your website, but it seems like it is not working. So I am calling the 800 number.

Receptionist: Yes, I am truly sorry about the website. It should be fixed by the end of  November. But I can help you?

Customer: Thanks. I ordered a “Spring Bouquet” for our anniversary, and wanted it delivered to my wife…

Receptionist: (interrupting) Sir, “Spring Bouquets” do not meet our minimum standards. I will be happy to provide you with Red Roses.

Customer: But I have always ordered “Spring Bouquets”, done it for years, my wife likes them.

Receptionist: Roses are better, sir. I am sure your wife will love them.

Customer: Well, ok, how much are they?

Receptionist: It depends sir. Do you want our Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum package?

Customer: What’s the difference? (more…)

Gee, ya think the “Senior Officials in the white house”… might be referring to DENIS MCDONOUGH / VALERIE JARRETT / SAMANTHA POWERS ? I mean that “desperate and weak” line is classic McDonough.
Remember too, Samantha Power, as U.N. Ambassador, is a cabinet level position in the Obama administration – and she hates Israel perhaps even more than ValJar.   Oh that Trifecta-of-Hate crew is going to be all kinds of defrosted if Netanyahu pokes back. You better believe it.    How dare a jew point fingers back at our Dear Leader.
The duo of McDonough and Jarrett are counting on this Iran deal to distract people from noticing their doctor has locked his/her door.   This White House will not allow themselves to be undermined – and absolutely not by Netanyahu.   This is a deal you cannot refuse.
WASHINGTON DC – Senior officials in the White House have said that Israel Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu “is desperate and weak,” in reaction to Netanyahu’s remonstrations against the deal struck with Iran over its nuclear weapons program.
Israeli television Channel 10quoted the officials as saying “His pronouncements show a lack of self-confidence,” in an unusually harsh personal attack on Netanyahu. “We are not perturbed by his vocal opposition.” (more…)

Two key points.   #1.   ABC weekly panel discussions are the official Propaganda proving ground of the administration.   Sponsored, created and hosted by Democrat Spinmaster and former communications director, George Stephanopolous, you will find the impetus of the State Media talking points refined.    ABC is to weekly Democrat propaganda what CNN is to daily news Propaganda.    CNN does the daily gig, ABC does the recaps.
#2.    The absolute fawn star of the Obama campaign(s) is David Plouffe.   He’s the guy who molds the optics.   ValJar is the “ear”, McDonough is the “fixer” the muscle to keep everyone in line, and Plouffe is the guy who packages the scheme to make it saleable to the sheeple.    If you want to know what Obama is going to do and say just listen to Plouffe talk about the future.    This is a great video in that regard – Think: ‘State of The Union Speech’.

The failure to accept the existence of truth does not protect you from it.

Both Ytz4Me and Myself, as well as just about all CTH Admins, have taken a considerable amount of flack for pointing to the truth behind the Mark O’Mara agenda (RE: Financials n more) in the George Zimmerman case.  A recent Daily Mail article points to some of the truth the O’Marapologists refuse to accept as “real”.
(Via Daily Mail)  George Zimmerman racked up $2.5million in  legal fees defending himself against a murder charge, his defense attorneys have  revealed.
The 30-year-old was acquitted of killing  Trayvon Martin earlier this year, but his freedom has come at a cost.  He received the legal bill from lead  attorneys Mark O’Mara and Don West two months ago.
O’Mara initially took the case on in April  2012 at no charge to Zimmerman.  But he later found out that the Zimmerman  family were raising funds to fight the charge via a website appeal.  {Oh well,  wait a minute, you have money? That changes the whole equation no?  I mean we were doing it pro-bono, but now that bono guy’s dead so we do it pro-me-no?}
More than $400,000 was donated to the fund by  his supporters. (more…)

The full Obama POTUS/FLOTUS interview is below the intro video.  However, you might want to watch the ABC set up.   The fabricated presentation is brutally obvious.
ABC, the home of George Stephanopolous and former home of dispatched reporter, Jake Tapper, is obviously the outlet to run toward when you need comfy and controlled optics.
What strikes the viewer as brutally obvious becomes the fraudulent construct of the entire interview. From the questions, to the framework of optics, you can see the guiding hand of a professionally managed image.
Remember, Barack Obama himself admitted an image re-branding was needed. A rebranding because in a larger sense a more significant portion of the electorate have caught on to the ruse he represents.   Everything about this POTUS is a series of lies.  All ends justify any means – Obamacare is the personification of this awakening.
In the lead-in teaser video Wa-Wa even mentions the Obama’s have nowhere to live when this DC gig is up. Nowhere to return to. Think about that. This is indeed just like a professional gig, a show, a ruse. Not actually real in any aspect. The Obama’s are as real as the construct of Ward and June Cleaver – only their purpose is far more alarming.

Some things just make you scratch your head. In the “exclusive” interview with Barabara Wa-Wa Obama announces he is launching an investigation into why he is so insufferably inept. And apparently Wa-Wa sees no issue with the announcement.
(CNN) – The hits to President Obama’s popularity, prompted by the botched HealthCare.gov rollout, are simply a natural fluctuation every commander-in-chief faces, Obama told interviewer Barbara Walters in an interview aired Friday. […]
Obama has taken responsibility for the website’s flaws, saying he should have been told earlier about the serious issues with HealthCare.gov’s digital infrastructure. He’s also apologized for his vow that people who liked their plans could keep them.
In Friday’s interview, Obama said he was looking for answers soon on why the rollout failed so spectacularly.

“Obviously my most recent concern has been that my website’s not working,” Obama said. “We’re evaluating why it is exactly that I didn’t know soon enough that it wasn’t going to work the way it needed to. But my priority now has been to just make sure that it works.”  (read more)

In a subtle speech outlining Israel’s position on the EU/Obama acquiescence to Iran Netanyahu vows to keep the light.

It’s not coincidental Netanyahu chose this specific passage from a Jewish children’s song given the former U.S. position (Reagan Doctrine) of light retention amid the dark forces of global evil.    In essence Israel is saying they will not fall victim to the political correctness inherent in failing to talk about true motives and objectives of Iran, while simultaneously saying someone must stand up to say there are natural laws of right and wrong.
It is the elimination of true principles behind what is good, right and just, while obfuscating and falling victim to political correctness which allows evil to thrive.    As we have often said – failing to accept the existence of evil enterprise does not protect you from it.  Regardless how that enterprise manifests.
The United States used to hold such bold recognitions.  However, under the leftward and self-serving immoral slide, the lines between right and wrong, good and bad, freedom and serfdom, have been blurred.

ISRAEL – Melding the Hanukkah holiday and foreign affairs, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu solemnly vowed to serve as a “light unto the nations” and act against Iran’s nuclear program should diplomacy fail Thursday night. (more…)
