Scarborough: Obamacare Site Like A Hollywood Western Set—Nothing Behind the Facade

Potemkin Village, anyone? Joe Scarborough has offered a scathing simile for the new-'n-improved Obamacare website. On today's Morning Joe, he likened the site to the set of a Hollywood Western--pushing back the facade reveals that there's nothing behind it.

Even former Obama spox Robert Gibbs—proudly sporting an Auburn jersey—acknowledged that big chunks of the system, including the payment mechanism for subsidies, haven't even been built yet. So people can go to the site, receive the illusion that they have obtained coverage, only to find that there is no follow-through.

Obamacare website a fake: like a Hollywood facade with nothing behind it. Ping to Today show list.

Obama Like A Hollywood Western Set—Nothing Behind the Facade

[sickoflibs]

Once again the out-of-the-loop outsider Obama jumps in and cleans up others messes, the Obamacare website.(all GOps fault)

Just Like Superman from Planet Krypton.

Even though (he says) he was kept in the dark by those he wont identify, he takes ‘full responsibility’ now.

So true. As time goes by, Eastwood’s analogy appears ever more apt.

[Hotlanta Mike]

Just the Obamacare website? How about Obama the man?

Looks like the Monday morning quarterbacks are piling on the “new and improved” website. Not a good sign for the Marxist.

Strange; the headline in the Washington Post this morning was that everything is just working wonderfully with all the “fixes”. It was in the Post, so it must be true.

Read where Scarborough is splitting with his 2nd wife. Wonder if Mika is the problem?

It's a phishing site. It's PRIMARY function is to gain access to all your personal information which can then be funneled into Obama's OfA database. You know, the database that Maxine Waters described:

“The President has put in place an organization with the kind of database that no one has ever seen before in life."

“That’s going to be very, very powerful. That database will have information about everything on every individual on ways that it’s never been done before..."

Only a fool of the first order would give them any info.

The emptiness of this administration will never be seen by the 50% of our nation who are low information. This and a loyal media are the assets which keep this white house moving forward.

All Obama was ever qualified for was what he did for decades--racial politics. He's one of the most unqualified POTUS's we've ever had. Stupid voters; stupid Dems.

Actually, the immortal F Troop had an excellent set with complete backgrounds. Unfortunately for Obama, Corporal Agarn has created the Obamacare website.

He’s flat out wrong as usual. What is behind the website is: socialized medicine, destruction of the bill of rights and Constitution, abortion on demand, death panels, euthanasia, birth control for preteens, redistribution of wealth, gun control, the collapse of the private insurance industry, IRS storm troopers, jihad against small business, and the end of America.
