— Ace The most breathless claim in his speech, I thought, was the lie that only those making $250,000 per year or more are being "asked to pay a little more."
This is a lie. Anyone making over $48,000 or so will get the doubled or tripled premiums (and often doubled deductibles to boot!) and no subsidies.
Jonah Goldberg wrote earlier of Obama's Big Lie.
I would say I'm shocked, but that would be a lie. I think I am too emotionally deadened to Obama's constant lies to even have a reaction. I'm just numb.
One thing I wasn't shocked about but am a little perplexed about: Obama claims that it's Republicans' fault all these bad things are happening because they won't "pitch in" and help him or something.
What actual legislative action is he proposing? I have not heard him request a specific change in Obamacare.
He wouldn't be thinking about a large tax increase on the general public to help defray some costs of Obamacare by any chance, would he?
That's the only thing I can imagine -- and yet that would of course be a New Lie, because he sold this thing as "only" costing a trillion or so in new (admitted) taxes.

... yes Hadji does impressions for his show. Hadji loved the Rich Little and studied the mannerisms of the performances. You should see Hadji do Richard Nixon sometime... wait, this microphone? It is on?
and so.
Hello! It is I, Hadji the Muslim Comic and part-time ObamaCare Navigator! This economy, Hadji take what Hadji can get.
And Hadji gets to say to people that they are the screwed. How much fun is that? Hadji tell you. Hadji has a chubby just thinking about the work tomorrow.
From what Hadji has seen with his own eyes, the technical people consist of two infidels from GeekSquad and a cell phone. There has not been this much useless pushing of buttons since George Kennedy was in the elevator during the movie Earthquake.
But what is fun for Hadji is not fun for all. So Hadji brings the fun and brings the noise. Prepare thyself and thy loins.
What is the distinction between Kathleen Sebelius and an Airwick Motion Activated Room Air Freshener with the Mountain Air Scent?
The Airwick Air Freshner is aware of what is going on around it. And it takes the action as well.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
Remember to purchase your insurance.
If you are liking your policy you may keep your policy ... in a desk drawer. Where upon you may look at it on occasion.
Tip the waitresses! They will need the funds to pay for their insurance as well.

Obviously the President's often repeated lie re: keeping your insurance is most prominent now, but how did he think it would end? He knew it was a lie, he knew he'd be exposed?? This is a leader?
I'm just gobsmacked by it all.

This seems fairly innocuous at first - standard boilerplate. But the ACA is not a hurricane, forest fire, or war. Obama wanted it. He forced it on us regardless of our antipathy. It's HIS baby, all the way through. We are not 'in this together'. He is riding the horse, holding the chain of our coffle. And we are battle scarred and weary because we did NOT want this.

To his credit, Pat Toomey noted to MSNBC Morning Joe that Obama had 2 massive tax increases already, top bracket and OCare, and the GOP wouldn't be interested in the Simpson-Bowles framework going forward.
It is crucial to remind folks that OCare only survives as a tax, and it's a whopper of one. No new taxes in any deal.

The only thing Obama wants Republicans to help with is shouldering the blame.
When it comes to writing law, implementing policy, running investigations and just actual governing in general, he wants Republicans to get in the back seat and STFU. When the shit hits the fan and the fingers start pointing, he wants the Republicans by his side to distribute the weight 50:50.
Piss off, Barry. This mess is of your and your own party's doing. One of the few things Republicans did right was keep their hands off this completely when it was evident they couldn't stop it. One measly vote in the house, none in the Senate. This belongs to you, Pelosi and Reid. Enjoy!

I am reminded of Bush senior's pledge, read my lips no new taxes.
That lie cost us the Presidency. I expect Obama's lie to cost them the Senate, by a BIG number.
People don't like being lied to and finding out about it.

IMO, the ultimate revenge would be to see Obama's "Blame Romney" ploy epically backfire, and cause Romney's popularity to wildly surge.
Though that's probably just wishful thinking. It would take some really weird stuff (more so than even nowadays) to cause that to happen.

It is silly to expect congressional Republicans to condemn Obamacare root and branch, as we would like, because a disturbingly large number are actually OK with it, at least in theory. They're comfortable with he idea of massive federal meddling in healthcare, so all they'll do is complain about this or that aspect of the ACA rollout, or some other small thing.

Likewise Ryan. My respect for Ryan fell through the floor when he sat there like a passive little beta male during his debate with Biden, and let Joey Choo-Choo push him around contemptuously for the entire thing.
Amazing how a guy with a reputation as a physical fitness nut turned out to have complete demineralization of the spine.
That Ryan has now post-election revealed himself to be a huge amnesty proponent further confirms the absolute disaster of having nominated Romney. We're boned because he lost but we would have been 90% as boned had he won.

I think he (his handlers) is just flailing here, hoping that some "solution" will take hold out there in the ether. They don't dare suggest anything themselves but they're hoping they can imply that there's some miracle solution out there that "everybody" knows about but the Republicans won't agree to.
But what he's also doing is reinforcing the Tinkerbell presidency: He only fails because you don't believe in him enough. Posted by: AmishDude

No.
It's impressive in its enforcement. From the whips in the house to the backdoor deals to governors to the daily e-mails to "journalists"....
The Democrat machine knows how to control the narrative.
They are good at it, have no shame, and have one goal. And they crush internal dissent without any problems.

The patriots of the Revolution were always a minority. So, in fact, were the loyalist Tories. Even then there was a great 'moderate' middle which went in whatever direction the wind was blowing at any given time. Nowadays, given the choice between Free Shit and Freedom, I think most of that middle would choose Free Shit even though the more intelligent among them would (or should) know that nothing is free.

Why, it's almost as if they have a plan or something. Good thing the Republicans have a plan too: sit on their hands and look outraged.

Whether the Republican bashers want to admit it or not, Ted Cruz's 21 hour floor speech has cemented the fact that Republicans are and have been against Obamacare and warned them of the consequences that they are just beginning to see.
Even the most lefty Democrat is hoping that Ted Cruz is forgotten because they realize the same thing. Too late.

The greatest show in Heaven, Hell or Earth.

You've got to see the show, it's rock and roll ....
Right before your eyes we pull laughter from the skies
And he laughs until he cries then he dies then he dies

Odd, I would say the House's cave over the partial shutdown pretty much canceled Cruz' stand.
We'll see. I could be wrong, but frankly I'm still of the belief that the fact that so many of them are wishy washy about it, the R's bought into it, and are now co-owners of Obamacare.
Posted by: BurtTC at October 30, 2013 01:31 PM (TOk1P)
This whole debacle reminds of the woman I read about who will not give any candy to a kid that she deems overweight this Halloween. Instead she will hand them a letter to take to their parents telling them that their kid didn't get candy because they are moderately obese and don't want to encourage sugar or fats for fat kids. What do you want to bet that she is an Obamabot?
Sticking her nose into other people's business, and being a bitch to kids because "it's the right thing to do - it's for the children". If my kid ever received a letter like that I'd kick her ass. Liberals have to ruin things for everyone.

Nope. Everyone will instead claim that they were part of the minority opposition. You'll be regaled with stories about how they helped to resist the coming disaster... but no one ever listened to them.

Keep on imagining Michelle. We are wired to eat things that taste good, and little kids have a full compliment of functioning taste buds -ever wonder why you hated some vegetable as a kid, but now don't mind it or actually like it? The peas didn't change their taste, your tongue changed in it's ability to sense things.
Of course, you could always BAN cookies, candy and chips, and calorically restrict kids to near starvation at school so they'll be begging you for anything you offer...........
