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 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)
Charles Krauthammer discusses recent events in his latest editorial column titled “An Outbreak of Lawlessness“:
(Via WaPo) For all the gnashing of teeth over the lack of comity and civility in Washington, the real problem is not etiquette but the breakdown of political norms, legislative and constitutional.
Such as the one just spectacularly blown up in the Senate. To get three judges onto a coveted circuit court, frustrated Democrats abolished the filibuster for executive appointments and (non-Supreme Court) judicial nominations.
The problem is not the change itself. It’s fine that a president staffing his administration should need 51 votes rather than 60. Doing so for judicial appointments, which are for life, is a bit dicier. Nonetheless, for about 200 years the filibuster was nearly unknown in blocking judicial nominees. So we are really just returning to an earlier norm. (more…)
This Thanksgiving Day powerful TV ads air across the state of Texas “thanking” Senator Ted Cruz for leading the fight against Barack Obama’s failed ObamaCare healthcare scheme. The ads are running during the highly-rated NFL Thanksgiving Day football games and during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade on one-dozen (12) TV stations across Texas.
How rabid is the Democrat mindset to retain their ideological power at all costs?
(Via TPM) Colorado state Sen. Evie Hudak (D), who was facing a potential recall election over her vote in favor of stricter gun control laws, will resign Wednesday, Denver television station KDVR reported.

Hudak’s decision assured that Democrats would hold onto their one-vote majority in the state Senate, according to the TV station, with a Democratic committee being allowed to pick her replacement.
“In the interest of preserving the progress made over the last year, I am resigning as State Senator for District 19, effective immediately,” Hudak wrote in a resignation letter.
Hudak reiterated her support for strengthened gun control laws. (link)

When President Obama said HHS/Obamacare was going to enter a phase of “rebranding” he wasn’t kidding. He only left out the part where taxpayer dollars would be used in the new imaging campaign…. and this is ONLY just the beginning.
Which begs the obvious question – If Obamacare is so glorious and great on its merits, why does it need a positive branding campaign?
WASHINGTON DC – With the roll out of Obamacare being as disastrous as possible for the Obama administration, one group was given a $1 million grant to help lead a rebranding effort with hopes of salvaging the law in the eyes of the American people.
Families USA (FUSA) — an organization that describes itself as a “national nonprofit, non-partisan organization dedicated to the achievement of high-quality, affordable health care for all Americans” — was given a $1.1 million grant by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation on October 4, 2013, to gather “success stories” of Americans dealing with Obamacare and distribute them to the media who often refer to them as an “independent” group. This is part of a greater upcoming effort to bolster the perception of the lowly health care law. (more…)
VIA TELEGRAPH – A senior advisor to the Saudi royal family has accused its Western allies of deceiving the oil rich kingdom in striking the nuclear accord with Iran and said Riyadh would follow an independent foreign policy.

Nawaf Obaid told a think tank meeting in London that Saudi Arabia was determined to pursue its own foreign and policy goals. Having in the past been reactive to events, the leading Sunni Muslim nation was determined to be pro-active in future.
Mr Obaid said that while Saudi Arabia knew that the US was talking directly to Iran through a channel in the Gulf state of Oman, Washington had not directly briefed its ally.
“We were lied to, things were hidden from us,” he said. “The problem is not with the deal struck in Geneva but how it was done.” (read more)
