Proof of Intent

I’ve been searching and waiting all day for CNN to post video and transcript of this exchange between Erin Burnett and Congressman Henry Waxman from last night 10/23/13.

Why?
Because Waxman accidentally outlined the TRUTH.    When he was questioned by Burnett about President Obama’s promise that everyone will be able to keep their health insurance, against the backdrop of hundreds of thousands of cancellations for private insurance being received, the question was:  “Is/Was the President being honest? (more…)

This should come as no surprise; it is, quite simply, only about the hundredth time people have reported on the aloof detachment of President Obama.   
Even Bob Woodward wrote an entire book in general about how disingenuous Dear Leader was/is toward fiscal policies, and more specifically his indifferent and bored outlook regarding negotiations with Congress that might actually involve work.  
Remember too, during the OBL kill/capture mission – Obama had to be dragged off the golf course; and then, according to Reggie Love, didn’t want to participate in the event preferring instead to play cards because his presence was required *near* the situation room.
(New York Times) With rebel forces in Syria in retreat and the Obama administration’s policy toward the war-ravaged country in disarray, Secretary of State John Kerry arrived at the White House Situation Room one day in June with a document bearing a warning. President Bashar al-Assad of Syria had used chemical weapons against his people, the document said, and if the United States did not “impose consequences,” Mr. Assad would see it as a “green light for continued CW use.” (more…)

Is the bloom coming off the ruse?   First watch this video:

NORTH DAKOTA – In a bombshell revelation, a consumer sales manager for North Dakota’s largest health insurer said Monday that the Obama Administration asked Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota to hide how many people registered for health insurance through an online exchange that just went up.
James Nichol of Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota told a forum in Fargo that the Obama Administration had made the request. The forum was designed for people who wanted to obtain coverage through the online exchange. (more…)

The White House is feeding information about a possible extension for compliance with Obamacare  enrollment/purchase mandates.

However, the ever political Denis McDonough/Valerie Jarrett are hopelessly stuck in the political risk, and will not concede the word “delay” out of fear it will prove the GOP was right in their admonishments.     Yes, they are THAT petty….. Just watch…..

WASHINGTON DC – Mike Hash, who directs the Office of Health reform at the Department of Health and Human Services, will brief House Democrats Wednesday about implementation of the Affordable Care Act.

The closed-door session, which will start at 8:50 a.m., marks the first time the administration will have briefed members of Congress on the online enrollment system since its troubled rollout on Oct. 1. (more…)

D’oh  – HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius may have been trying to create plausible deniability for Dear Leader, but what she actually said, and openly advocated for in her admissions, is just profoundly more affirmation of how inept President Obama actually is.
It comes as no surprise the single most important legislative construct of an inept unqualified President, that is bound to affect millions of Americans on one of the most important aspects of their lives, was doomed for failure in its roll-out while President Obama sat clueless and uninformed. What does that say about the priorities of the White House occupants, and their visible preferences to sit detached from ownership of that which they create?  (video below)

Washington (CNN) – President Barack Obama didn’t know about the problems with the Affordable Care Act’s website – despite complaints from insurance companies and the site’s crashing during a test run – until days into its now well-documented abysmal launch, the nation’s health chief told CNN on Tuesday.

HatTip To WeaselZippers who keep finding the campaign sellers.  In the first examples the Madison Avenue rejects try to use the “Got Milk” campaign.   However, the players they use for their outlines are entrenched liberal operatives.
These are the Hopey Changey Sheeple who voted because they believed in a slogan !

Grace Lopez Ramirez appears in a new ad also airing in Colorado part of “Got Insurance?” campaign today.  Grace is currently employed by SEIU and another in the campaign who has a long history of leftist ties with illegal immigrant groups, unions and the Democratic National Committee both local/national offices.  Grace is presently a Communications Specialist at Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 105.

This was discussed on NBC’s Meet the Press Sunday – With Senator Chuck Schumer announcing his intention to bring up this new fiscal rule.

Essentially, instead of Congress having to vote to raise the debt ceiling, the Executive Branch would have unlimited ability to raise it and Congress could only vote to *disapprove it*.   Meaning, a super-majority would be needed in the Senate (66 votes) to BLOCK the President from raising the debt ceiling.
It is called the “McConnell Rule” because, unbelievably, it was Republican Senator Mitch McConnell’s idea. Go figure.…
(Via National Review Online) Senator Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) is planning on introducing legislation containing Senator Mitch McConnell’s proposal to change the debt ceiling and weaken Congress’s power over it.

“One way to avoid this from happening again is for us to implement the McConnell rule, which says that Congress must disapprove rather than approve increases in the debt ceiling,” Schumer said on Meet the Press. “If we were to do that, the chances of going up to the brink again, the chances of this kind of debacle would decrease. I’m going to introduce legislation to do just that, and it would really help.”

Can White House propaganda be extreme enough the Main Stream Media will actually avoid participation?    Personally, I doubt it because the example of Benghazi Cover hangs too recent in memory.

However, there is such a thing as trying too hard; as in – trying so hard to keep up favorable appearances that your own credibility becomes dangerously at risk of ridicule.

[Again, I find it difficult to believe there is *any* level of White House propaganda so extreme the adoring media would ever call it out.   Because if such a sense or possibility even existed, they would most certainly have done so by now.]

All of that said, there does appear to be something, something unusual, something quite different, with this Obamacare fiasco.   Even CBS New’s Political Director John Dickerson says it could lead to a “credibility death spiral”: (more…)
