Obama the Oblivious
WaPo ^ | December 12, 2013 | Charles Krauthammer

Posted on 12/13/2013 7:19:49 AM PST by Cyber Liberty

In explaining the disastrous rollout of Obamacare, President Obama told Chris Matthews he had discovered that “we have these big agencies, some of which are outdated, some of which are not designed properly.”

An interesting discovery to make after having consigned the vast universe of American medicine, one-sixth of the U.S. economy, to the tender mercies of the agency bureaucrats at the Department of Health and Human Services and the Internal Revenue Service.

The paradox of this presidency is that this most passive bystander president is at the same time the most ideologically ambitious in decades. The sweep and scope of his health-care legislation alone are unprecedented.

FTA: How does his Olympian vision coexist with the lassitude of his actual governance, a passivity that verges on absenteeism?

Charles goes on to say it's because of his rhetoric. I would put a finer point on it and simnply say he's lying like a rug again.

GQ named Boobamba number 17 among the “Least Influential Americans-—characterizing him as “an eloquent hat rack.”

Years after the billion dollar buildup, months after the botched rollout, weeks after the costly fixits, just yesterday, Obama claimed enrollments of 365,000......this in a country of 315 Million people.

Where are the "desperate" millions Boobamba said were "crying" for healthcare? The ones he said the system didn't work for? Why aren't the desperate millions signing up?

We can only conclude this America-hating Boob does not see himself as president of a thriving America----in his befuddled mind, he represent the ne'er do wells, slackers, layabeds, dumbos, ignoramuses, gutter snipes, bums and pan-handlers.....and a handful of deserving people who slipped through the cracks.

The only conclusion is that this vengeful Boob is deliberately punishing hard-working Americans b/c they worked hard and have healthcare THAT THEY LIKE:

(1) he deliberately upended the healthcare system leaving millions unprotected,

(2) he nationalized 1/6 of the US economy,

(3) he spent billions of tax dollars for nothing, spending good money after bad, and,

(4) he imposed multiple travesties on doctors, hospitals, insurers, health providers, and hard-working taxpayers.

“The sweep and scope of his health-care legislation alone are unprecedented.”

‘Sweep’ and ‘Scope’ are child's’ play when you have “O’s” disregard for ethics, law, logic and facts!

What “O” has done is not praiseworthy when you think that ANY President in our history could/would have tried the same if he thought he could so disregard these things and keep his head on his shoulders!

The fix was in from the start and there is PLENTY of culpability to go around... not the least of which will irreversibly stain the character and credibility of the Republicans who enabled this travesty. Think I am exaggerating... ? Just ask my mom (and the millions of others JUST like her) who is at 90-getting the royal shaft of her life so all "O's" constituents can have FREE the thing she worked and struggled for her entire life and NOW has to go out and RE ESTABLISH for herself before Jan. 1-2014. THANKS Obama !.

Does your Mom blame the Republicans, or Obastard?
