— Gabriel Malor Happy Tuesday.
It was a three- or four-scandal night for the Obama Administration. Starting with the worst, NYPost has a columnist who found a guy who says that the Census Bureau "faked" the jobs report in September 2012 to benefit Obama's reelection campaign.
Just as Sen. Gillibrand told "This Week" that "we all knew" that Obama's keep-your-plan talk was a lie, the DOJ apparently also knew that a majority of group health plans would no longer be grandfathered by the end of 2013.
A risk assessment completed for HHS in the spring predicted many of the Obamacare website problems, including the call center bottle-neck and the nonfunctional website.
Obama hosted a conference call with OFA last night, but their website failed for many users, reporting "connection failure" and not playing Obama's audio even for those who managed to connect. Awwwwkwaaaaard.
This column by a "seething" Obama supporter who has just realized what a cock-up Obamacare has become discusses the problems with trying to sign up for the exchanges.

Don't we already have sanctions and can Obama arbitrarily lift them on his own (legally)? It all goes back to what we have been saying since early in his first term. He can do anything he wants as long as Congress lets him.

What is new is that the current report done by actual investigations show that temperatures have been declining (until you adjust them and they stabilize) but the cover letter written by the politicians never mentions this. It keeps on hyping the warming scam.

First Lady Michelle Obama is telling Democratic donors to pay. “t’s simple, you can write a big ol’ fat check,” the first lady told Democrats at a fundraiser. “That’s what we need you to do. Right now, write a big check — big huge one — write the biggest check you can possibly write. Take your frustration, your passion, your hope, and turn that into real meaningful support for leaders who will truly represent the people they serve.”
And they will.

States that supported President Obama's 2012 re-election will cash in under Obamacare as tax dollars flood states taking the lead in adopting the president's namesake health reform, according to a new national survey of the economic impact of the Affordable Care Act.
That is the Chicago way; crony corruption at the mega-scale.

Which begs the question of when does his incompetence become available for review? Never--because he will always be Blackish? So Obama can never be judged or criticized for screwing up anything? Well, alrighty then, stop telling us how damn brilliant and uber competent he is. It is either one or the other, he is brilliant and thus open to criticism or he is Black and must be treated like a special snowflake for all his days.

Retired chimps who spent years having drugs tested on them have their federal retirement fund almost doubled to $55m
'ItÂ’s a great day for federally owned chimpanzees,' said Cathy Willis Spraetz, the head of Chimp Haven, the animal sanctuary where the chimpanzees will be sent to live in Louisiana. "I'm breaking out the champagne as we speak."

they aren't pirates, just well armed fishermen out to sea in small boats. the real answer is what France did to Greenpeace. Underwater demolition on the Motherships the first time they put in the harbor. Reduce the range of the small boats. Ruin the harbors willing to cooperate with pirates. Deny the bleeding hearts a death to cry about. And we blame it on France.

So I'm wondering if we're looking at this the wrong way. Compare this to Watergate. If Nixon's administration had this many problems, he wouldn't have been allowed to get on that helicopter. He would have been hauled off in chains.
What's different?
Not just the media, people are different too. We expect instant gratification. So if the LiVs are hearing about all this stuff (and some of it is getting through), why aren't they calling for the President's head?
Maybe because the convoluted logic goes something like this: if he's so bad, why hasn't he been "gotten" yet? If all these crimes have been committed, surely he would have been arrested by now, so the mere fact that the wheels of justice, such as they are, turn so slowly gives these people reason to think there must not be any there there.
I don't know... just a thought for a cold November morning.

I cannot help but note in that oh noes he's so incompetent and wtf happened article that the guy admits that his Republican friends would laugh at him but he just cannot possibly bear for one single solitary instant at all to admit that his Republican friends were right.
That's the Rubicon that will never be crossed for many people. Yes, yes, yes, every thing you said is coming to pass but I cannot for the life of me admit that means you were right because that means admitting you are not a racist redneck mouthbreathing window licker and I just can't do that.

I'm not really talking about the truly ignorant, Vic. Certainly there are ranges for this sort of thing. From the completely unable to contemplate a reasonable thought, to those who suspect something is wrong in Washington, but they don't trust anyone enough to know what it is.
I know tons of younger people who, naturally enough for them, are Democrats. They're not happy right now, but I don't think they are willfully ignorant. They just don't know how to make sense of it all, and again, the fact that the rest of the world seems to be rolling around, that Obama is still in the White House, his people are still acting like they're in control... there isn't a sense that the high crimes and misdemeanors of this administration are real. If they were indeed, real, Obama wouldn't or couldn't be acting like all is well.
Or something like that. I'm probably grasping.

My question is, why? He's not getting reelected to anything, so why does he need a *personal* party apparatus? Other than the general ego-masturbation of course.
I think he's going to split the party and create his own, the Progressive party or something. What else do you do with that, hand it to the Democrats after all that hard work? Good news for us - we'll clean up in national politics for a while.
