Calling Nolan's bluff, Obama mans-up and holds a press briefing ...

Frustrated Democrats are complaining about the problem-plagued rollout of the new health care program known as Obamacare. And one Minnesota Congressman, Democrat Rick Nolan, says President Obama needs to “man up, step up” and start firing people.
Top Obama administration officials, particularly Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, are under fire for technology woes plaguing the law’s centerpiece Web site. It is the backbone of the health insurance signup process and has proven unreliable.
The plain-spoken Nolan says they can’t get good answers about what went so wrong. House Democrats left a closed-door briefing with administration health officials Wednesday, and they were uncharacteristically frustrated with the president.
Let’s face it, no matter how “frustrated” they are with this miserable failure they’re too afraid to say anything out of fear of being called racist. Their own tactics have rendered them helpless. What a pity.

Cronies don’t get fired. They are promoted.
You have to be a MAN already before you can MAN-UP! ! ! !
In my opinion the worst part of this for the Democrats isn’t going to be the technical problems with the website. It’ll be the huge numbers of middle-class Americans losing their current healthcare plans and being forced to buy new, more expensive ones.
Somewhere out there....there’s this Democratic Representative...meeting with his Chief of Staff and top two ‘helpers’.
Reality has set in. Forty emails this morning come from voters in his district who noted their new insurance is forty percent more than before. At least two hundred calls from yesterday....dealt with questions over the penalty phase if they can’t get this done by 1 January. The hometown paper has had a dozen letters printed....detailing negative feelings. No news source in the entire district is offering thrilling or positive commentary. It’s a lose-lose scenario presently.
Here’s the meeting and the theme at the end. 2014 is only weeks away, with the election in full swing from March on. You cannot afford to stand on the Titanic and observe it sinking while the Captain says to stick around and wait for the ship to ‘balance itself’. You are losing confidence not only in the President but also the Party leadership. Someone just isn’t telling the truth.
It’s funny now...Cruz had everything single detail in sight and the media did everything to crush the view, with the government reopening and back in full swing. Ten days later....Cruz is proven right. You can’t admit it in public or find anything to fix the situation...except to agree with Cruz’s entire original comment.
And the shadows? McCain is just standing there....just not wanting to admit....Cruz might have been absolutely right.
If Obama fires the people responsible for this he should start with himself.
... starting at the top: himself.
If they can't get the web site up and running correctly by Jan. 1st, people whose employers and/or current healthcare plans have terminated them are going to be in a world of sh*t. Which means the Dems are gonna be in a world of sh*t.
Not only can't the dropped people sign up for an affordable plan, but they will not be insured at all. Just wait for the first one who has to have an emergency appendectomy and gets socked with a $20K hospital bill.
The Dems are gonna be pullin' a Ralph Kramden:
"Hummana ... Hummana ... Hummana ..."
It will be blamed on the government shut down and global warming. Both of which are Bush’s fault.

Can we start with any Congressman or Senator that voted for it?

What mess?
Well, he can’t fire Sebelius, and here’s why:
Even though she is responsible for the administration and operation of Obamacare, she is only responsible for its successes.
Others are responsible for its failures, but Obama & Co are way too busy fixing all those glitches and they don’t have any time available to find out who actually is responsible for its failures. So, they can’t fire anyone.
See what I mean?
(I don’t really have to post a sarcasm tag, do I?)
“Man-Up”
Bwahahahahaha!
First, Obama would have to see if Obamacare would cover a sex change operation.
“You have to be a MAN already before you can MAN-UP! ! ! !”
He would have to “fundamentally transform” himself.
Man up? Barry don’t have it in him.
Yes Liberace... man up! Bwaaahaaahaaahaaahaaa!
Sissy-boys, by definition, do not “Man Up”.
INDEED INDEED INDEED
(And I hope a lot of middle class liberals get bit really hard)
The 2014 election is ticking.... Dems, can you hear it?
