It’s somewhat remarkable to watch the left begin to recoil with the recognition Obamacare is going to remove their health insurance options, reduce the standard of care, cost them more money, eliminate freedom and quite frankly lose their Doctor.
The vast majority of freedom minded Americans find one simple word in response. “Duh” !
The reason you are losing your health insurance freedom is the same reason you often have to flush your toilet twice, the government now controls it.
This should not be a surprise.  By the time modern regulation #5,265,332.00147 kicked in, progressivism, ie Obamacare,  came for your trans-fats.
Now compliant donuts don’t taste like donuts any more; they taste like the newly extinct Styrofoam coffee cups.   Then Obamacare’s predecessor progressed to Squiggly lightbulbs that don’t light up enough to read a book.   What did you do?  You bought a book light. (more…)

The egg donor who claimed to be Trayvon Martin’s mother tried to peddle her propaganda at a congressional hearing on Stand Your Ground type laws.
Sybrina Fulton, the woman who claims birthright to dead son Trayvon Martin,…. yet gave him away for ten years to her husbands wife, Alicia Stanley,…. who then upon return kicked him out of the house just before Christmas,…. yet found Jesus just in time to trademark his name,…. within two weeks of his death in a place she never visited until TV cameras were set up,…. came face to face with Ted Cruz yesterday:

Congressman Bill Pascrell (Democrat – New Jersey) Personifies his constituency.
Yes, if you live in Patterson, Bergen or Hudson County New Jersey  (NJ 9th) – this congressman represents you.   Nice huh?

Maybe his constituents have been calling in about their New Normal under Obamacare?

CONTEXT FIRST – Tomorrow HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is set to testify before congress.   For those of you who are unfamiliar with how congressional hearings work there is a rule of bi-partisan discovery where Dem’s must share information to be used during the hearing with Republicans, and vice-versa.
This is done so that no-one is caught off guard with anything that takes place in the hearings.   It’s somewhat of a ruse (under the excuse of professional courtesy) that few people know about.  Congressional hearings are investigative only to the extent the questions being asked are not known by the opposing party.  However, each knows what documents and evidence the other has walking in.
Why is that pertinent?   Simply because when you see the media do these pre-hearing exclusive/confidential document stories you know the source of the leaked intel is the party seeking to diminish the impact.  It’s just how they roll.    The Dem’s gave this CGI report to CNN so that CNN could write up a story and remove the *shock value* in advance of the hearing.
Washington (CNN) – The Obama administration was given stark warnings just one month before that the federal healthcare site was not ready to go live, according to a confidential report obtained by CNN.
The caution, from the main contractor CGI, warned of a number of open risks and issues for the HealthCare.gov web site even as company executives were testifying publicly that the project had achieved key milestones. (more…)

Pinch me. Chris Matthews goes a little off the water-carrying range in this discussion around Benghazi? It actually appears that Chris Matthews is either a.) embarrassed by CBS’s Lara Logan, who actually did a direct 60 minutes segment, or, b.) struggling to reconcile that Hillary’s “at this point what difference does it make” comment is pure obfuscation not grounded in fact.

Could it be that Chris Matthews actually does recognize, albeit 13 months after the fact, that President Obama and Hillary Clinton chose to let Americans be slaughtered in Benghazi ?
Could the truth of this be comprehensible to Obama/Hillary defender Matthews?
Nah, me neither.
The White House will call him and yank his leash back shortly.

UPDATE:  Just after midnight 10/29 NBC took down the original article noted below and replaced it with THIS ONE creating a broken link.    They took out the following paragraph:

…”None of this should come as a shock to the Obama administration. The law states that policies in effect as of March 23, 2010 will be “grandfathered,” meaning consumers can keep those policies even though they don’t meet requirements of the new health care law. But the Department of Health and Human Services then wrote regulations that narrowed that provision, by saying that if any part of a policy was significantly changed since that date — the deductible, co-pay, or benefits, for example — the policy would not be grandfathered”….

NBC did not note their edit – they just deleted the original article and added another in it’s place.    Typical considering what we anticipated below.
———————– original post below —————————————
The latest estimate is around 16,000,000 Americans will lose their current insurance. Each will have to pay significantly more for the Obamacare product, most with much higher deductibles. As Congressman Waxman admitted last week, this was part of the design all along.
Now NBC is reporting that President Obama knew this – AS he was saying it would not happen – Meaning, he intentionally lied.
However, as you read the NBC “exclusive”, ask yourself what’s the angle? Because NBC WOULD NEVER, NEVER, publish anything that would hurt this administration p.e.r.i.o.d. So what are they setting up?
(NBC Reports) President Obama repeatedly assured Americans that after the Affordable Care Act became law, people who liked their health insurance would be able to keep it. But millions of Americans are getting or are about to get cancellation letters for their health insurance under Obamacare, say experts, and the Obama administration has known that for at least three years.
Four sources deeply involved in the Affordable Care Act tell NBC NEWS that 50 to 75 percent of the 14 million consumers who buy their insurance individually can expect to receive a “cancellation” letter or the equivalent over the next year because their existing policies don’t meet the standards mandated by the new health care law. One expert predicts that number could reach as high as 80 percent. And all say that many of those forced to buy pricier new policies will experience “sticker shock.” (more…)

According to the White House and concentric circles of presidential protection, *cough*, Senator Dianne Feinstein, Senator Harry Reid, Spokesperson Jay Carney, Advisor Valerie Jarrett and advisor Denis McDonough, Dear Leader did not know the NSA was spying on German President Angela Merkel….

If you google “President Obama Did Not Know”… you get 153,000,000+ examples.  If you shorten the phrase to “Obama Did Not Know”…. you get 808,000,000 active hits. 

He didn’t know:

•About Angela Merkels’ phone being tapped – He didn’t know.
•About military death benefits being cancelled during the government shutdown – He didn’t know.
•About the economic crisis 08′-11′ – He didn’t know how bad it was. (more…)

Pure Cognitive Dissonance !

How much do you want to bet she voted for Obama twice. Typical progressive NIMBY…. Loves them all that liberal stuff, well, until all that liberal stuff actually begins to impact their own life – then, notsomuch.   Seriously, who did SHE THINK was going to pay for it? Santa?
I shouldn’t be so hard on all the “Jennifers” of the world; but good grief – we’ve been fighting this thing for four years DESPITE THEM.  So forgive me if I’m slow to the touchy feely sympathy thing…
CALIFORNIA – Thousands of Californians are discovering what Obamacare will cost them — and many don’t like what they see.
These middle-class consumers are staring at hefty increases on their insurance bills as the overhaul remakes the healthcare market. Their rates are rising in large part to help offset the higher costs of covering sicker, poorer people who have been shut out of the system for years.

Although recent criticism of the healthcare law has focused on website glitches and early enrollment snags, experts say sharp price increases for individual policies have the greatest potential to erode public support for President Obama’s signature legislation.
“This is when the actual sticker shock comes into play for people,” said Gerald Kominski, director of the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research. “There are winners and losers under the Affordable Care Act.” (more…)
