Really?….  I mean….  R.E.A.L.L.Y. ?
When do the grown-ups get to take charge again?

Check out the book a Republican state senator in TN gave Kathleen Sebelius today in Memphis. Hilarious! pic.twitter.com/GEmr4F26G6

[…] “There is nobody more frustrated with the website than I am,” she said. “We should have done better.”
She told community leaders the public needs to be reminded that the website does not function like Amazon.com, where customers are used to logging on to buy a product “like a Tickle Me Elmo doll” before someone else gets it. In this case, Sebelius said, the service is constant and doesn’t run out. (more…)

Just now, people, mostly on the left, are slowly awakening to the tentacles of Obamacare.   Just now, people, mostly on the left, are recognizing their leaders have misled and lied to them.    This awakening, recognition and new reality, is what the White House has strategically tried to plan for and coordinate for several years.
The architects began trying to control the scope of the awakening with a political decision to grant a one year tax mandate delay for employers.   This was purely, and politically, designed to avoid the blistering sunlight  directly as a consequence of tens of thousands of employee layoffs, and millions of dropped policies, headed into an election cycle.
The Jarrett/McDonough/Obama/Reid-Pelosi architectural intent continued with a politically constructed website specifically designed to block sunlight from people seeing their new financial reality – Obamacare costs more.  And the objective remains to keep people from recognizing they are going to lose their current healthcare plan and soon their doctor(s).

(VIA CNN)  Senate Democrats voted unanimously three years ago to support the Obamacare rule that is largely responsible for some of the health insurance cancellation letters that are going out.

In September 2010, Senate Republicans brought a resolution to the floor to block implementation of the grandfather rule, warning that it would result in canceled policies and violate President Barack Obama’s promise that people could keep their insurance if they liked it.

“The District of Columbia is an island surrounded by reality. Only in the District of Columbia could you get away with telling the people if you like what you have you can keep it, and then pass regulations six months later that do just the opposite and figure that people are going to ignore it. But common sense is eventually going to prevail in this town and common sense is going to have to prevail on this piece of legislation as well,” Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley said at the time. (more…)

Chuck Schumer has lived up to his word.  He promised he would introduce a new bill in the Senate called the “McConnell Rule”.    The “rule” would grant the president, and subsequently the Treasury Secretary, unlimited capability to raise the debt ceiling as they needed.    Congress could only vote to STOP the debt ceiling from being raised, and it would take a super majority, 66 votes, (2/3rds) to block it.
Called the McConnell Rule because unbelievably it was the brainchild idea of Republican Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell.    
However, because McConnell is in a highly contested primary, Chuck Schumer and Barbara Boxer (yes you read that right) are sponsoring the measure on McConnell’s behalf.  They are calling it the “Pay Our Bills Act”.
WASHINGTON DC – Democratic senators have introduced legislation that would grant President Barack Obama, and subsequent presidents, the authority to increase the legal limit on the federal government’s debt unless Congress subsequently voted to disapprove the increase. (more…)

President Obama, or his immediate staff, have used the following adjectives to describe those Americans who disagree with him politically:   “Gun Toting Bitter bible clingers”, evolved into “radical extremists”, which became “the enemy”, which further evolved into “terrorists” and “jihadists”, then “hostage takers” and “unintellectual slopeheads in flyover country”.
Now, feeling the impact of insurance policy cancellations, we are “small slivers”.

The irony is the outlined target audience, the “twentysomething” Obama-voting crowd….

Forget the numbers, they are embarrassingly shameful all alone – but that’s not the real story…. that story about how low the number is can be subject to  spin…. as you’ll see in the next 18 blistering hours.   The administration will claim this does not include phone sign-ups or mailed in applications etc.

No, instead focus on the real story.   This CMS Obamacare enrollment report proves it is possible for the administration to answer the question.    This report proves THEY KNOW each day how many have enrolled…. yet they have claimed they do not know.   THAT is the bigger story.

WASHINGTON DC [ Via CBS]  Documents obtained exclusively by CBS News show that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services are intentionally fudging statistics on enrollment and application through state and federal exchanges.

The notes leave no doubt that some enrollment figures, which the administration has chosen to keep secret, are available. (more…)

WASHINGTON DC – The Internal Revenue Service shared highly confidential tax information of several Tea Party groups in the IRS scandal with the Federal Election Commission, a clear violation of federal law, according to newly obtained emails.
The public watchdog group Judicial Watch told Secrets Thursday that it was former scandal boss Lois Lerner who shared the information on groups including the American Future Fund and the American Issues Project.
The emails obtained by Judicial Watch show that the IRS, which was considering the tax status of the groups, gave the FEC the tax returns of the groups, including income, expenditures and staff pay. The emails also revealed the exact working of the prying political questions the IRS wanted the groups to reveal, such as their goals and the requests for brochures and ads. (more…)

Wow.   This MSNBC segment ranks right up there in the hierarchy of all time propaganda visuals.    If you know anyone still clinging to the concept of liberalism not infecting the biased presentations of the media, just send them this clip:

MSNBC’s Thomas Roberts –  Is there an intellectual dishonesty that’s happening here from Republicans who are not willing to admit that the shame should really be on private insurance companies who have been selling junk policies to these millions of Americans that don’t meet, now, the ACA’s federal standard of health care that people should have in this country?
That basically, there are millions of Americans that have been one disaster — that they can’t even comprehend — away from going into bankruptcy because of the fact that they have had a junk policy that has given them a falsity of safety?

Pay attention to what she is quoted saying:

 ….“No matter what people say about whether they like their plan or not, their plan was not going to be their plan, everybody’s premiums were going up.”…

Again, can you see the design?   The regulations were written by HHS on behalf of Obama to force any insurance carrier who increased premiums by $5 to comply with the Obamacare mandates in coverage.    Pelosi is saying “they knew everybody’s premiums were going to go up”.. that is why they built in that specific trigger for cancellation.
WASHINGTON DC – Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) pushed back hard Wednesday against those hammering ObamaCare for forcing some patients out of their current insurance plans.
The House minority leader said the number of patients who will have to change plans under the law is small, and they will ultimately benefit by moving into new plans with better coverage.
“While you might like your old plan, what you’re going to get under the new plan is that [it does] not discriminate on the basis of pre-existing conditions, does not deny you a key benefit like … maternal, mental health or prescription drug coverage and cannot drop you when you are sick,” Pelosi said during a press conference in the Capitol.

The current meme for antagonism around Obamacare is to point out the falsehood behind the statement: “If you like your insurance plan/doctor, you can keep it“.

Anyone who has spent even a modicum of time following and researching this administration will note the only wording out of place was the first use of the term “you”.
The statement from President Obama would have been accurate if he had said:

..”If I like your insurance plan, you can keep it”

Where “I” is actually defined as the political ideology behind the phrase.  It is the progressive ideology which defines what you can, or cannot, have.  Period.
The entire premise of the ACA, or Obamacare, was government defining all the common denominators.
In essence they needed to create two impressions, one real and one false.
The false impression was the one they stated publicly.  This was the one to make sure the electorate voted as they needed.    The real impression is what they were doing, and what they actually did – in the architecture and construction of the new national healthcare.
It does not provide value to rise up against the false impression – it’s a snipe hunt.   The uprising needs to be focused on the real action that took place.    Actions speak louder than words, yet so many people fail to focus their pushback approach on the action;  instead they get stuck focusing on the words.
