ObamaCare Mission Accomplished (The system isn't working and the website isn't fixed.)
The Wall Street Journal ^ | December 1, 2013

Posted on 12/02/2013 9:31:34 AM PST by Hojczyk

HHS touts other measures of progress—four times as much of this, doubled capacity of that—without revealing the original base. They've fixed those 400 bugs but won't say what they are or how many there are in total. Such statistical ploys are like a business claiming its revenues are twice as high as the last quarter's, in order to avoid saying if it's profitable.

Our favorite line in the report is the HHS boast that "the team is operating with private sector velocity and effectiveness." That sure is a remarkable two-month turnaround for the same team that took three and half years to botch the initial launch at a cost of more than $1 billion, according to an analysis by Bloomberg Government.

If this miracle fix is real, the White House will open the ObamaCare black box to an independent audit, or maybe start by answering questions honestly. But on a conference call with reporters Sunday, HHS refused to say how much progress the team had made on technical problems that are seeding insurance companies with bad information about who is signing up and for what products. It knows the insurers will keep quiet lest they make themselves political targets.

The mission accomplished pose is another attempt to power through a political deadline. Americans who have now discovered the Administration's other false claims—you can keep your old plan and your doctor, and the new plans are better—can be forgiven for waiting to see the actual results.

There is nothing, repeat nothing, that issues from this administration that even remotely resembles the truth. Once proven a LIAR all else is suspect, and should be. Obama LIED! His word is worthless.

Even IF the front on of the website is working perfectly, the site is NOT secure PLUS they don’t even have a payment system set up. How can folks pay by Dec. 23 when there is NO payment system set up?

Even if Obamacare fails miserably as a replacement for free market insurance, and it will, Democrats will press on, knowing that they are on a mission for omniscience and omnipotence in big government. Big government, sharing in the deification of Obama, will know all, see all, and control all, every little thing we do.

Ya, “Mission Accomplished”...

“For Alinsky, the revolutionary’s purpose is to undermine the system and then see what happens.

The Alinsky radical has a single principle - to take power from the Haves and give it to the Have-nots.

What this amounts to in practice is a political nihilism - a destructive assault on the established order in the name of the “people”

From David Horowitz “The Alinsky Model”

I did not exercise yesterday but I did today for one minute, how much did I improve my exercise regime?

This is how statistic can be made to lie, not that this administration needs any lessons on the topic!

"It knows the insurers will keep quiet lest they make themselves political targets."

Why isn't this intimidation called out for what it is: Fascism!

Look at the abuse meted out by the IRS, look at the hit the Chrysler bondholders were forced to endure-IN DIRECT VIOLATION OF THEIR CONTRACT!

The regime frequently points a gun at the heads of major corps and they must take it and/or fork over huge amounts of $$.

I get so angry, and nobody can do a single thing to stop this?

You are not alone. I don't know how much more I can take. The scum Bag is destroying our beautiful country.
I can't come on here much. I get too mad and leave.
I know there are a lot of US and that is the only thing that keeps me going.

Not all that different from Vandalism, is it? Let’s set fire to Rome and see what happens. Let’s stomp that ant bed and see what happens. Woo Hoo!

the team is operating with private sector velocity and effectiveness.

Interesting that they admit with this statement that under normal circumstances the government does not operate as efficiently as the private sector. Guess that is why government employees get paid so much more than private sector employees..

Now Obamacare IS the system; go for it.

No, O’Care is a handgrenade with the pin pulled.

It is the mechanism designed to detroy:
The Insurance Industry,
The Healthcare Industry,
Small Business,
and
The Economy.
