Kirsten Powers slams White House Obamacare excuses: ‘My blood pressure goes up’
The Daily Caller ^ | November 12, 2013 | Jeff Poor

Left-leaning Daily Beat columnist Kirsten Powers, who recently revealed how she lost her health coverage under Obamacare, slammed the Obama administration’s efforts to deal with the metastasizing Affordable Care Act Tuesday night.

On Tuesday’s “Special Report” on the Fox News Channel, the “All-Star Panel” weighed in on the administration’s responses to the disastrous Obamacare rollout.

Washington Post columnist George Will blamed the widening crisis on President Barack Obama’s lack of managerial experience.

“Well, everyone is talking about extraordinarily complicated act as though it’s a tinker toy,” Will explained. “If you don’t like this part, just plug in another part. It’s much more like a Calder mobile which he called a kinetic sculpture. If you touch something over here, things jiggle all the way over here. It’s very hard to change this piecemeal and I think that’s about what they’re about to find out. And this is why you can probably only have this created by a president who had never run anything larger than a Senate office. And that is why we generally prefer governors as presidents. They have at least run something.”(continued)

Good to Hear it Kirsten.

It's Good to hear from you when you step out of your comfort Zone, which has been quite a bit lately.

See, doesn't it feel good to be truly, honestly Non-Partisan?

The problem with being a useful idiot is that at some point the people you were useful to no longer need you.

As the idiot journalists are now discovering.

ObamaScam is headed the same way the commie ‘RATS’ “Global Warming/Global Cooling/Climate Change” hoax and scam went. Into the toilet.

She has pleasantly been one of the least objectionable Clinton staffers to be held over in the public eye.

She advocates for her point of view, but she is not totally unreasonable, and on the round tables she is not nasty and she will concede the point when there’s a sound argument.

That’s about all you can ask for.

Here she does what she has done for some time. She disagrees with the Left on this. She makes it known.

Really? I rarely watch BOR on Fox News, but I did tonight and Kirsten Powers was one of his commentators....and Kirsten did not mention anything about losing her insurance coverage nor her premiums being doubled with 0dumb0Care. In fact she still defended 0dumb0 hands down, and I suspect that her 0dumb0Care premiums could multiply by 10x and she (along with 48% of the demoCRAP voting population) would still vote for 0dumb0 or Hitlery or any radical, left-wing socialist democRAT. Left-wing marxist-socialist-fascist ideology trumps everything else for democRAT liberals....it is their holy grail and they will vote for any democRAT politician, no matter what, because the marxist ideology is their real religion.

I hate to say this, but I think that 0dumb0Care will need to destroy fully 150 million or more, and will need to impoverish the middle class and destroy our health care system & our monetary system, in order to finally shake Amerika out of lethargy and perhaps be restored as "One Nation Under God..."

I had a chat with my doctor yesterday. He has some good ideas about how this could have worked out better. For instance: It could have been about health care instead of power and control.

Here's a simple one. They claim to have needed this mess because as many as 30 million people may have been without insurance, or care they needed. So far they have spent $380MILLION on promotions and $700MILLION on the software program that doesn't work.

They could have given every single living breathing American $2.75MILLION and let the chips fall where they may.

Re-check your math, I’m no math major but I don’t think so. Sounds like every American would get about two dollars. There are about 320 million of us.

I really like her. She’s still a liberal, but she’s an honest liberal, and I have no problem with that. If something is broken or bad and you just defend it because of ideology, you look like an idiot. Or like Allen Colmes or Juan Williams...but I repeat myself...

Like all the other “analysts”, Kirsten makes a living stating opinions that people are willing to pay for, and who really knows what any of them personally truly believe? But she may wake up some day and realize she’s not really a liberal at heart, even though she probably always will be one in the pocketbook.

Kirsten Powers was an unknown journalist wanna be when Roger Ailes met her in a DC bar.
Next thing you know, she’s working at FN.
Her qualifications were rather...er limited....but now she’s some sort of authority? Seriously.

And gee Wally, it is not like we have had these insurance navigators and agents signing up hundreds and thousands of people before on websites. This is a whole new complex thing.

She’s knocked boots with ‘Carlos Danger’ too, hasn’t she? I don’t care how ‘hot’ she looks. It’s like Seinfeld finding out his date dated Neuman.
