Poor attendance at Obamacare event in Virginia (hint: larger than zero, fewer than two)

CENTREVILLE, Va. — A race to define Obamacare to the masses began today between the stacks at the Centreville Library. Over pizza in Decatur, Texas. And with a glass of wine in Naples, Fla.

Dozens of communities around the country hosted pro-Obamacare events, convened by the president’s foot soldiers at Organizing for Action. The series is the first salvo in what is fixing to be a month of high-stakes health care spin. When Congress returns from its summer recess in early September, there will be less than a month until Obamacare’s most sweeping coverage programs start signing up customers in new health insurance exchanges.

In the meantime, pro- and anti-Obamacare advocates are plotting to fill the silence any way they can.

That means gatherings like today’s in Centreville — although the slow start here is probably not what OFA organizers had in mind. After a scheduling snafu over the start time, a few people showed up and left before it actually started. Just one volunteer stayed to help work the phone bank for the health law, and the event’s organizer bolted after 20 minutes — although he was bound for another Obamacare event, a house party.

The best indicator of a PHONY ADMINISTRATION is the number of its REAL SCANDALS.

Commie Obama’s talking points are thus smokescreen distractions for the products of Obama’s first 4 years in office:

* Refusal to close US Southern Border to Mexican illegal alien invaders
* No known un-forged records of Place of Birth
* No known un-forged records of University grades
* Benghazi Massacre
* Dereliction of Duty as CIC during Benghazi Massacre
* Cover up of Benghazi Massacre
* Destruction of Seal Team Six
* Cover up of Fast and Furious murder of US Border Agent by Exec. Order
* IRS-Obama’care” Commune Death Grip on Wealth and Health
* NSA-Gestapo Death Grip on all citizen’s communications
* Use Courts against News Media
* Use of Supreme Court to install Un-Constitutional Obama’care’ Tax
* Destruction of the US Coal Industry
* Refusal to permit XL Pipeline construction
* Trillion Dollar a year Federal Overspending
* Monthly violations of the US Constitution by Obama
* Use of Exec. Orders to bypass Congress

Kind of strange to hold rallies for something that is already the law.

She was probably promised that she was exempt from O-Care.

They realize that it’s opposed by most of the people in the US and it would only take a good leader to get everybody to simply refuse to comply.

GOP, are you listening??? This is your golden opportunity.

In Venezuela the tyrants accused the opposition of corruption... even their own supporters were snickering about it.

I used to have empathy for Useful Idiots thinking they were just Ignorant, then they took control of my Country.

My “empathy” tank is empty, but my “hate filled” tank is overflowing. I fear I will soon become what the Liberals have always accused Conservatives of being.

Sixty Years Old and for the first time in my Life I feel like I am being painted into a corner.

This family is composed of honest to God Americans...

We do not need a "leader" to show us which path is right!

We are in full agreement to not comply with this communist pap!

Come and get us coppers!

Molon Labe!

Obamanoids just need to get over the hump, after which Obamacare becomes an unavoidable reality, like Social Security and foo stams, and hundreds of other programs that are FOREVER, and nothing can dislodge them, but occasionally the RATS will agree to ‘reforms’, which are no reforms at all. Just get to the point when you can scare the voters by telling them that opposition (if such exists, otherwise it’ll be invented) wants grandma going to voodoo faith healers for her health care, like they continue to scare us for decades telling us that the opposition wants grandma to eat dog food. It’s very effective and they know it.

Nobody cares about Obamacare.

It’s a train wreck and we’re all victims, and no phone call is going to save us.
