Hey!

You’re lookin’ good! Congratulations on your media blitz.

He gets it all right. All this does is give him something to fall back on later when he’s all dem all the time. Which will continue the closer we get to the 2014 elections. Its all about getting more commies elected and not losing his yob. He knows exactly what he is doing.

Just another big spending SoCon who measures compassion by the amount of other people’s money that can be thrown at a problem.

Notice how the pols and Admin never mention the ‘percent’ fine — they only mention the $95 fine.


And the media in most cases reinforces that mirage....

Gregory is actually asking ‘traditional’ journalistic questions of the BCBS guy. This spokesman for BC is in the Obama camp full bore, and illustrates the crony capitalism of the insurance industry.

This guy is as slick as Terri McAuliffe in his use of newspeak. Wow!

== Floridians’ insurance will be better and cheaper for a lot of customers.==

==a period of transition== while we teach them how much better off they will be under Obamacare==

Obamcare is all about subsidies to anyone who is an FOA(friend of Allah)in that case their insurance goes down! Otherwise if you don't like paying more for less health-care just sign up for Medicaid!! Why not! No one is checking and the govt. made sure everyone knows that no one is checking.

Basically, when you boil it all down this is little more than Cloward/Piven out in the open(destruction of the welfare system by overloading it) glaring its ugly head at anyone who actually works for a living.

It's Cloward Piven driven by the regime saying try and stop me if you can.

The fine increases

It's not a fine, it's a tax. Bribee Justice Roberts said so. If we had a true opposition party that was in control of the House, they could simply cut the "tax" to zero as the House is the one who generates all bills of revenue.

The fact that they don't simply lower or cut this tax is telling. Not the mandate itself, just the tax.

What that lying assholll blue crossed freak was actually saying is that it’s only cheaper if you are on medicaid or have a regime friend of obama subsidy. Everyone else better bend over and lube up.

A delay won’t get those people their jobs back. No company is going to rehire for a year then reconfigure their workforce all over again.

At a minimum, all mandates have to go. If Obamacare is going to be so great, why do they have to force people to use it?

You nailed it. Businesses have found a way to achieve profitability under a new business model and it won’t be shifting anytime soon.

We watched the rollout of the Billion dollar website which was outsourced to Canada since the owner was a Friend of Michelle, leading to a corrupt disaster. When you have millions of unemployed programmers in America who have lost their jobs thanks to outsourcing, you have to grease the wheels of one of your crony’s? How much of that grease came back to Michelle? We know she took some from her years at University Hospital, so how much of this Billion plus did she get? There are literally thousands of companies here who do these websites every day and they prove that even with the simplest of tasks the gummit is an inefficient sloth inhabited by some of the most ignorant people in the country. Imagine using this website to get permission for your child’s heart and lung transplant and you have the nightmare coming your way. Welcome to the new America; comrade.


Great stuff, bray. The website IS the death panel.

If DeathCare is so great, why isn’t the Congress or Obama on it?

For every Andrew Stryker there are probably two people who will be paying more. The fact that the Dems have to resort to these anecdotal examples show how bankrupt they are. Let's have the real numbers on enrollment. The data are available.

The majority of these "success" stories are going into Medicaid. The taxpayer's bill will increase.

That interview was like experiencing a shift in polarity, or the sun rising in the west.

What was I thinking? The ‘businessman’ is just looking to be a conduit of money from the government to his company. BCBS might as well be considered a public utility now.

The tendency in media will be to declare All is Well once the website reaches some degree of workability. The real problems are worse and have little to do with a website. For now, Gregory sees it, but as you know, he works for NBC.

Still, we haven't seen the media as whole dump on Obie like this in his 5 years, so we've got our nose under the tent finally. Given the disaster that is looming in the reality of ObieCare, we will knock the tent over, no matter how much the media tries to ignore it.

Voters will be receiving bills for healthcare coverage every month, after month, after month....and it won't be for their old plan, and it won't be cheaper, it won't be better. TP 2010 redux x2

I agree, Yellen will be confirmed.

The point is to set the record straight on how raising taxes on the rich is growth inverse, how Democrat so called tax cuts, which were really tax credits, are ineffective, and how more regulations have hurt economic growth.

Cash for clunker moved sales ahead, the next quarter was effected. Think of all the money spent of Freddie and Fannie mortgages, student loans. There a lot here to go after.

Rubio was back — claiming he was opposed to Comprehensive Immigration. [To get elected in politics, one must be a shapeshifter, it seems.] Now, he can claim he has been on all sides of the immigration issue.


Not that it matters but I ALWAYS believed Rubio opposed it—I just couldn’t figure out why he was advocating something he opposed. I’m gonna chalk it up to youth and maybe some bad advice.

I ain’t crucifying Rubio in any case. He’s been with us more times than not. The time for being a purist is over. The situation is just too desperate at this point. I’m ready to plant the anti-Obamacare flag and sing Kumbaya with anyone who rallies around it.
