A rat has very quietly run down the gangplank of the SS ObamaCare

The fakes in the Obama Administration – you remember them the guys running the most transparent Administration in history – always save their worst news for after 5 PM eastern time on Fridays. That way the Democrat cheerleaders in the media can hide it in the “Cajun Cooking” section in a Saturday newspaper not many people will read.

Friday at 5:36 PM Eastern, the Obama Administration announced the resignation of the stooge who would have been the overseer of implementation of the hated Obamacare. Whether he “fell or was pushed” is immaterial except for the fact that it adds fuel to the fire of speculation that “The most open and transparent Administration in history” KNOWS it will lose its Supreme Court showdown over the Constitutionality of Obamacare in total or part – either way America wins and they lose.

The stooge, Steve Larsen is now the former head of the Department of Health and Human Services Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight. He slithers away next month. But not to worry for ole Steve, he’s a good little liberal Democrat so Obama has...

Thanks Oldpuppymax.
