President Barack Obama said he and health care executives will be “brainstorming” ways to fix his troubled health care law at a Roosevelt Room meeting Friday afternoon.

-snip-

The meeting comes a day after Obama announced health care plans that don’t meet Affordable Care Act standards could still be sold to existing individual market customers. Obama said he and other White House officials would be asking the executives for their input on how best to implement the law.

Since when have the words “intimidating”, “threatening”, “extorting”, “demanding” and so forth come to mean “brainstorming”? Clown Prince nobama is such a weak, confused fool.

Brainstorming would imply he knows something bout “cause & effect”. He had no idea the website rollout failed, that’s just one effect of the cause.. which was unknown!

Not brainstorming...brainclouding. He’s trying to obfuscate until they volunteer to jump in the volcano.

If these BRAINS had read the law in the first place they wouldn’t have to BRAIN STORM now.

obama’s opening remarks:

“OK, now, someone tell me how this insurance stuff works and why it isn’t free. And what gives you folks the right to charge poor black people for it? This sounds like some king of racist scam. I bet you give white people lower rates.”

So, he shoveled money and long-term revenue at the insurance industry in exchange for more government power, and now he has to shovel even more of our money at them in exchange for them helping him cover up the fiasco. The CEO’s simply need to continue to sit, shut up, and keep collecting many billions in tax revenues. :(

He’ll buy his way out of this. No doubt. We’ll fork over money to the insurance companies.

I assume that the word “brainstorming” used in this context has something to do with hallucinogenic drugs.

Threat session is more like it - they have to break the law to help him and they now understand that they will be brought to task for it later on when he no longer needs them.
