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.

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…)

(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.

I am so angry, I can barely type.  The only reason Harry Reid changed the rules today is because the Democrats are constructing a second term bailout of President Obama, while solidifying his legacy.  This maneuver today will effect generations.

It cannot be emphasized enough how TODAY, November 21st – 2013, will go down in history as the single most definitive day when your life changed.    The entire construct of the balance of constitutional checks and balances has been tipped.   THIS IS ABSOLUTE TYRANNY ! 
Obama/Reid have previously presented the most radical judicial nominees to federal courts all over the nation.    They have been blocked by the lack of minority consent – that is the intention of the Senate.    This is not a change to “filibuster” per se’, the use of that term is just obfuscation to make what has been done seem unimportant or technical.   What Obama/Reid are doing is blocking, avoiding, ignoring the concept of “minority consent”.   The concept of “minority consent” allows a minority to protect themselves from the tyranny of the majority.
Obama/Reid have just destroyed the essential framework of freedom and liberty protection that was cemented into the building blocks of our government by Thomas Jefferson.
President Obama will put the most radical of the federal judicial appointments on the DC 5th circuit.
The DC 5th district court of appeals hears most of the cases surrounding constitutional issues and challenges against legislation stemming from Washington DC.
What Obama / Reid are doing is insuring those legal cases/challenges can be squashed before they reach the Supreme Court.   This cements the ability of unconstitutional legislative bricks to set and destroy individual liberty and individual freedom.
Today, EVERYTHING IN YOUR LIFE CHANGED – You just haven’t noticed yet. (more…)

Rut Roh.   More exposure for Dems behaving badly, very badly.  In this latest case a  Director of Obamacare Navigators is exposed admitting his intent to collect personal data for use in establishing files or lists of enrollee information for political purposes.
