Carney on cancellations: Insurers “basically threw you off that plan,” you know, not ObamaCare
Hotair ^

Posted on 10/29/2013 6:04:30 PM PDT by chessplayer

Gone is yesterday’s equivocating defense on the millions of distributed insurance cancellations currently shattering the great ObamaCare myth that was “If you like your plan, you can keep it.” After Valerie Jarrett‘s… er… “creative” contribution to the discussion last night, Carney was much more prepared for the question at today’s White House briefing with a more shrewdly crafted offensive strategy — because as we’re all well aware by now, unintentional concessions (don’t even think about apologies, not gonna’ happen) rarely last long in this administration before giving way to well-rehearsed, righteously indignant spin-doctoring. (Be sure to check out Sebelius’s planned testimony for the House committee investigating the ObamaCare website’s ample failures this week for more delightful developments on that front.)

Today, even the White House agrees that the issue “deserves fuller explanation,” and the nutshell version of that explanation amounts to this: Basically, this entire mess is insurance companies’ fault because of the regular turnover in the individual insurance market, and for ever having dared to offer the less-than-fully comprehensive plans envisioned by ObamaCare or ever having limited their acceptance of pre-existing conditions in that market.

One has to wonder if Carney has any capacity for shame. Is there a medical condition that render a human incapable of feeling shame?

this is totalpassing the buck.

insurers have to end plans that don’t meet obamacare standards. everyone knew’this.

white house wants to blame insurance, insurance wants to blame obama.

ultimately b/c obamacare mandates this action the insurers have no choice to comply, so it’s obama’s fault.

0bama is a pathological liar, and surrounds himself with the same. Carney reminds me of Baghdad Bob.

right after Obamacare passed Sebelius put rules and roadblocks to stipulate what qualifies as “grandfathered

Somebody forgot to tell the communists to boil the water slow.

The idiots that voted for them be jumping out of the pot.

They added multiple rules after Obamacare passed regarding grandfather clause to make sure a large percentage wouldn't qualify....goal to usher in a one payer system in a deceptive, progressive manner

By the time 2014 election season arrives, they and their MSM parrots will polish their message and everyone in the country will be blaming the greedy insurance companies and, do I even have to say it, the Wall Street.

Money, fame, and the spotlight will render people incapable of feeling shame. Don’t know if thats a medical condition, though. Maybe a psychological one.

Dishonesty is the hallmark of this administration.

They lie incessantly. All of them. About anything and everything.

In my 70+ years, I've never seen anything quite like it.

I am amazed at the civility of the many people who got sideblinded and go on interviews to say they got cancelled by their insurance company. They look like “Golly gee, Wally, I really hate this news. It would be nice if Obama backs his word.” We all need to get the word out that Obama knew in 2010 they would not be able to keep their insurance. Hit every newspaper and news outlet with the proof. They are going to blame insurance companies because the left believes they are greedy and love to scam people.

No, even the USSR fell , and it was because even the apparatchiks realized that communism sucks.

Vacation Guy in the White Hut, who is about as American as his communist muslim Father and Brothers, as well as his fellow bright RED travelers, have made the classic Banana Republic mistake of radically changing the social norm and hurting the demented parasites that vote for them in the process.

Their best hope for salvation is that the scumbags running the RNC bail them out, but the Country Clubbers are heading for the tall grass.

Yep, these insurance companies are just following the law.

More money, less coverage

“to do good and to do no harm”

Maybe they should have consulted with some doctors.
If these people were male prostitutes, foreplay would be:
“Brace yourself! Here I come.”

Valerie Jarrett is a COMMUNIST from a family of COMMUNISTS

The Communist Party USA continues to back their “friend” Barack Obama.

How deeply has the Communist Party been involved in advancing Obama’s political career-through the Jarrett family, or by other means?

The answers to these questions will have major implications for the future of what’s left of the free world

It is now well established that Barack Obama was linked to the Hawaiian Communist Party network through his boyhood/teenage mentor Frank Marshall Davis.

It is also well known that after moving to Chicago, Obama linked up with the local communist networks.

Manning Marable, a leader of the Communist Party offshoot Committees of Correspondence for Democracy&Socialism claims that Obama “understands what socialism is. A lot of the people working with him are, indeed, socialists with backgrounds in the Communist Party or as independent Marxists. There are a lot of people like that in Chicago who have worked with him for years...”

This leads to two key questions.

A Were the Hawaii and Chicago networks connected?

B Did Obama’s connection to Frank Marshall Davis in any way influence his progress up the Chicago political ladder?

If the answer is yes to both, there are significant implications.

Valerie Jarett is a COMMUNIST

Dee Myles is a Chicago activist and chair of the Education Commission of the Communist Party USA. In 2004, after Vernon Jarret’s death from cancer she penned this tribute for the People’s Weekly World of June 5th.

Readers like me can be extremely selective of the journalists we read habitually... We are selective about the journalists to whom we become insatiably addicted, and once hooked we develop a constructive love affair without the romance...

Such was my experience with Vernon Jarrett, an African American journalist in Chicago who died at the age of 86 on May 23. I became a Vernon Jarrett addict, and I am proud of it!

Vernon Jarrett’s career as a journalist in Chicago began and ended at the Chicago Defender, the African American daily paper. In between, he was the first Black journalist at the Chicago Tribune, and I first began to read his articles during his tenure at the Chicago Sun-Times

Jarrett’s claim to fame is that he was a partisan of the cause of African Americans in the broad democratic tradition of Paul Robeson and W.E.B. DuBois...

Robeson and DuBois were both Communist Party members. On April 9th, 1998 at Chicago’s South Shore Cultural Center, Jarrett hosted a Paul Robeson Citywide Centennial Celebration event, with his old comrade and Party sympathiser Margaret Burroughs and former Communist Party members Studs Terkel and his old friend Oscar C.Brown.

Dee Myles continues;

Jarrett was fanatical about African Americans registering and voting in mass for socially conscious candidates. He championed Harold Washington like a great warrior, and this March, from his hospital bed, wrote an article appealing to Black Chicago to turn out to vote for Barack Obama in the Illinois primaries. Obama astounded everyone with an incredible landslide victory as the progressive, Black candidate for the Democratic Party nomination for the U.S. Senate seat from Illinois. From his sickbed, Vernon Jarrett issued a clarion call, and the people responded.

The Jarrett/Obama conection did not end with Vernon Jarrett’s death-it moved to a higher level with his famous daughter-in-law Valerie Jarrett.

A former Deputy Corporation Counsel for Finance and Development under Harold Washington, Jarrett continued to work in the mayor’s office into the 1990s.

In 1991, while Deputy Chief of Staff for Mayor Richard Daley, Jarrett hired Michelle Robinson, then engaged to Barack Obama.

Later Valerie Jarrett ran the finances for Obama’s 2004 Senate bid and served as treasurer of Obama’s HOPEFUND.

The relationship is more than professional-Jarrett is regarded as one of the Obamas’ closest friends and advisors.

According to Take Political Action May 24th 2008;

“She’s always been the other side of Barack’s brain.” That’s how an Obama insider described Valerie Jarrett as an Obama campaign aide announced Thursday night the former CTA chief and current Habitat Co. CEO is taking on a larger role to help her close friend win his White House bid.

The development comes as Jarrett, a charter member of Sen. Barack Obama’s kitchen cabinet, has been formalizing her portfolio and stepping up the pace within the past few weeks as a top advisor within the campaign.

Though she will be part-time, Jarrett will be one of the most visible and powerful African-Americans in the top rungs of the Obama operation...

Today Valerie Jarrett serves as one of three Senior Advisors to President Obama. She is Assistant to the President for Intergovernmental Affairs and Public Engagement, and Chairs the White House Commission on Women and Girls.

Would there be an Obama/Jarrett relationship today, if there had been no Frank Marshall Davis/Jarrett connection through the Communist Party of post war Chicago?
