Lib Cartoonist Ted Rall: 'Truth Behind ACA Mess Is Obama and His Gang of Golfing Buddies Are Idiots' By Noel Sheppard Created 10/27/2013 - 10:46am
People familiar with liberal cartoonist and polemicist Ted Rall will be shocked by a piece he published at Daily Kos Friday wherein he actually agreed with former Alaska governor Sarah Palin.
Trust me, they'll likely be even more shocked with what he had to say about President Obama.
At the center of Rall's piece was Palin's October 20 article wherein she joined a number of conservative commentators in claiming ObamaCare was intentionallly screwed up in order to bring about the liberal dream of a single-payer system.
After citing much of her piece, Rall opined:
If Team Obama had been plotting Canadian-style socialized medicine all along, they wouldn't have floated all those dumb "heckuva job, Barry"-style excuses that turned healthcare.gov into the president's Katrina moment:
• Too much volume. But corporate websites routinely handle more than the ACA sites. Besides, the feds knew that, in a nation with tens of millions of uninsured people, tens of millions of people were going to check out the website. The truth, as any idiot could plainly see, was that volume wasn't the issue. Lousy coding was.
• ACA is "more than a website" — and anyway, why don't people use the phone? Actually, that's not true. For most people, the ACA are the websites. That's how Obamacare was promoted. People were told to go online. So they did. As for those who threw up their hands and tried calling — I was one of them — there was no way to buy a plan by phone.
• Everyone knew there would be glitches. The problem with that Democratic talking point is that while Americans may suffer from short memories, they're not totally retarded. We still recall September 2013. It's not like anyone in the White House announced before the launch: "Hey, don't freak if you can't access the websites right away. Chillax, wait a month or two. We're expecting a lot of glitches, and things could be less than cromulent for a while."
No, Governor Palin, the truth behind the ACA mess is that Obama and his gang of golfing buddies are idiots.
Now before folks faint, be reminded that in 2011, Rall said he was having a hard time getting anyone to publish his anti-Obama pieces. As such, this is a rare liberal willing to expose the emperor's nakedness.
He continued:
Primarily, Obama and the Democrats were idiots to think that the ACA's bastard hybrid of public and private could function properly — certainly not on "a project of such immense complexity. The federal exchange must communicate with other contractors and with databases of numerous federal agencies and more than 170 insurance carriers."
Look at what happened to the Postal Service: neither beast nor fowl, the uncomfortable marriage of for-profit business and Congressionally mandated payouts has pushed an otherwise viable organization to the brink of collapse.
Interesting that Rall would use the Postal Service. Conservatives did the same thing in fighting the enactment of ObamaCare. Amtrak and the DMV were also favorites.
After citing another paragraph from Palin's piece which concluded that we're heading to "full socialized medicine," Rall ended his article astonishingly writing, "I never thought I'd say this, but: From Sarah Palin's lips to God's ears."
Imagine how shocked Kossacks must have been reading that.

Right, the whole healthcare industry should be designed, built and run by government bureaucrats, ALONE.
exactly correct

Rall is just pissed off we didn’t go for full on single-payer from the start.
Rall is to stupid and too nasty to understand anything except the master/slave model.
"Primarily, Obama and the Democrats were idiots to think that the ACA's bastard hybrid of public and private could function properly"

You're right. But, it's only a feigned beef with Obama. He's playing his arranged part to convince the public that single payer is the only way to save the system.
Heh — well put.
Same thing with Jon Stewart or SNL making fun of Obama. Don’t get excited folks.
Then he complains when he gets it, and it works as designed, bringing total failure and absolute poverty, because the guys bringing it weren't forceful enough, and he calls them names.
So is Jon Stewart.
Such dyed in the wool true believers still hold the torch for socialist utopias. They denounce those who are critical of Communism because they proclaim REAL COMMUNISM hasn’t been tried yet.
Why don’t they go to some Communist hellhole and push for REFORM COMMUNISM? Why subvert the American system (that helped keep “not real Communism” from conquering the globe)?
LOLOLOL.
I was listening to a local talk station that tries to claim it's totally centrist and fair. They were talking about the failure of the ACA roll out. Spared nothing in criticizing it. At the very end of the segment the host, in a low voice, with a tinged of disgust says:
"yup, should have gone with single payer."
It was quick, it was almost subliminal but it sure jumped out at me.
“Primarily, Obama and the Democrats were idiots to think that the ACA’s bastard hybrid of public and private could function properly — certainly not on “a project of such immense complexity. The federal exchange must communicate with other contractors and with databases of numerous federal agencies and more than 170 insurance carriers.”
Right you are but Ted ignores the Administration’s need to bankrupt the 170 insurance carriers and doing irreparable damage to the entire health care industry. There is a scorched earth policy in play here.
When Libs complain at all about the state of our country, all I can say is: This is what you voted for.....this must be what you wanted.
And from that I'm beginning to think that ROBERTS REVENGE is setting in.
Think about it.
Because ya only criticize dear leader once in any of those Communist hellholes, then no one can find you anymore.
Well, at least I wouldn’t have to hear from the likes of a Ted Rall afterwards.
Ted Rall is a stool fish.
