CNN host: Obama should accept GOP proposal and delay ObamaCare for a year

It may not mark a tectonic shift in the political landscape, but it seems significant that CNN’s Wolf Blitzer expressed support for Republican proposals to delay ObamaCare for a year:

Blitzer was then set upon by other CNN hosts while leaving the studio, resulting in a melee that escalated quickly, ending when Piers Morgan killed a guy with a trident.

CALL TO ACTION: Should Congress be exempt from Obamacare? Sign the petition to deny Congressional exemption here!

This particular conversation revolved around the epic “glitches” that have plagued the ObamaCare website. ”Glitchy” is a debatable term for a website that barely works at all. There is mounting evidence the people behind this fiasco knew it would bomb on Day One, which makes all those Obama Administration flacks who chirped about Healthcare.gov suffering from its popularity – “What a great problem to have!” – into abject liars, on par with the President who promised you could keep your health-care plan if you liked it.

I noticed a Fox News report this morning headlined “Glitch-filled launch of ObamaCare site decried as ‘train wreck’ by critics.” No, that was the guy who wrote the Affordable Care Act, Senator Max Baucus (D-MT).

In the article, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) asks, “How can we tax people for not buying a product from a website that doesn’t work?” The Founding Fathers would have stopped you in stunned disbelief ten words into that sentence, Mr. Speaker, and asked how your revolution against the tyrannical, illegitimate government was going. They might also ask which foreign power conquered America and forced such a regime upon us. Then they’d ask you what a “website” is. Give Thomas Jefferson a couple of days to get up to speed, and he could write a better one than Barack Obama produced...

Wolf is having troubles keeping up with the news cycle. The GOP are about to cave.

[FlingWingFlyer]

ObamaCare should be delayed until every buffoon on Capitol Hill signs off that they have read the entire bill and pass a written test on what is in it with a score no lower than 100%. Those who fail the test should be tar and feathered and ridden out of town on a rail.

Rush: Wolf Blitzer Denies He Said What He Said

Somebody at the White House must have read Wolf the riot act...

[Huskrrrr]

Could it be the press are sensing an imminent disaster for Zero with Obamacare and are giving him a way out?

Nahhhhh!

[Bullish]

Obama won’t do that. He’s only got so much time to turn the US into a socialist\communist basket case and he ain’t gonna’ waste any more of it.

[Right Wing Assault]

Just a simple glitch. It doesn’t work at all.

I guess that makes obama a simple glitch, too.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Someone at the White House must have gotten Wolf’s tax returns and threatened him with it

Or night-vision photographs of his daughter Ilana in her bedroom. "Pity somthing might happen to her..."

“’Glitchy’ is a debateable term for a website that barely works at all”

Now, now—this is supposed to be a happy occasion! Let’s not bicker and argue about how the administration has already spent over a half-billion dollars for a program that appears to have been written by people who ride on short busses.

[beethovenfan]

After 3 years and gazillions of dollars, what’s the probability that another year will fix it? I’d say about 0.0001.

[sickoflibs]

Old news.

A couple more polls like that Wall Str/NBC poll and the Pubs will be racing for the life-rafts agreeing to a complete surrender to Obama.

You could see their fear today after it came out.

AS USUAL ALL YOU HAVE TO DO TO GET WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW IS READ ONE OF ANN COULTER'S COLUMNS HERE'S HER LATEST

YOU NEED TO LOOK NO MORE FOR WHAT YOU NEED:

http://triblive.com/opinion/featuredcommentary/4859620-74/obamacare-democrats-government#axzz2hT5EtnVd

HERE ARE HER (AND YOUR) ESSENTIAL BULLET POINTS SHOW'S OVER:

....Americans didn't ask for and don't want ObamaCare, and now their insurance premiums are going through the roof, their doctors aren't accepting it, and their employers are moving them into part-time work — or firing them — to avoid the law's mandates.

......Contrary to Obama's promises, it turns out you can't keep your doctor, you can't keep your insurance — you can't even keep your job. • ObamaCare allows insurers to charge 50 percent higher premiums for smokers, but prohibits insurers from increasing premiums for those with HIV/AIDS.

• Nationally, ObamaCare will increase men's individual insurance premiums by an average of 99 percent and women's by 62 percent. • Health plans valued at $27,500 or more for a family of four will be taxed at a rate of 40 percent.

• No doctors who went to an American medical school will be accepting ObamaCare.

• To be eligible for millions of dollars in grants from the federal government under ObamaCare, education and training programs are required to meet racial, ethnic, gender, linguistic and sexual-orientation quotas. That's going to make health care much better!

• ObamaCare is turning America into a part-time nation. According to a recent report by economist John Lott, 97 percent of all jobs added to the economy so far this year have been part-time jobs.

• ObamaCare is such a disaster that the people who wrote it refuse to live under it themselves. That's right. Congress won a waiver from ObamaCare.

Responding to the people's will, House Republicans first voted to fund all of government — except ObamaCare. Obama refused to negotiate and Senate Democrats refused to pass it. Then the Republicans voted to fully fund the government, but merely delay the implementation of ObamaCare for one year. Obama refused to negotiate and Senate Democrats refused to pass it. Finally, the Republicans voted to fully fund the government, but added a requirement that everyone live under ObamaCare. No special waivers for Congress and no waivers for big business without the same waivers for individuals.

Obama refused to negotiate and Senate Democrats refused to pass it.

They absolutely will not consider Republicans' demand that Democrats merely live under ObamaCare themselves. Instead, Democrats say Republicans are trying to “burn the whole house down” (Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz); “have lost their minds” (Sen. Harry Reid); are trying to negotiate “with a bomb strapped to their chest” (senior White House adviser Dan Pfeiffer); are “legislative arsonists” (Rep. Nancy Pelosi); and are engaging in “blatant extortion” (White House press secretary Jay Carney). Every Democrat in the country uses the same talking point: We “refuse to negotiate with a gun being held to our head.” Which means the Democrats will not negotiate at all — not now, not ever.

The only reason the government is shut down right now is that Democrats refuse to fund the government if they are required to live under ObamaCare.

That's how good it is!

ANN COULTER: TIMELESS PATRIOT!

THANKS AGAIN ANN!

No delays or exemptions. Force it down everyone’s throat so it reminds everyone to vote out those who voted it in.

That’s right.

It’s going to implode anyway.

Big trouble for Obama - even Jimmie Kimmel was making fun of Obamacare tonight (Spellcheck keeps telling I’m wrong with my rendition of Obamacare - get over it, Spellcheck)......

CNN host: Obama should accept GOP proposal and delay ObamaCare for a year

The GOP should dump their own poorposal and make the people deal with this gold-plated POS. This is all about 2014.

It’s going to implode anyway.

Its already imploding. I tried to register today at MD's web site - just to sniff around. Got as far as name, address, SSN, and birth date [the only required info] on the first page of the form.

Got bounced out when I clicked Continue - the verification app was unavailable. Tried 3 times - no dice.

Called the MD Service Center. Was told the verification app will be down all weekend. So, theoretically, NO ONE in MD will be able to sign up on-line this weekend.

FYI: In addition to this FUBAR, the 24/7 web site has been taken down for maintenance between 11 pm - 6 am EVERY DAY since its launch - and will continue to do so INDEFINITELY !!!

[GeronL]

I read somewhere that in Maryland there are no doctors available through the plan, or something like that

[laplata]

What a mess. This is a hackers best dream.

Did you use your real SSN and name when you were sniffing around the MD site?
