BREAKING: Democrats Give Obama 72 Hours to Fix Obamacare Website

-By Warner Todd Huston

Reports are coming out saying that Congressional Democrats have about had it with the President’s massive failures and have given him 72 hours to fix Obamacare… or else.

Democrats are saying that they will join the Republicans in their effort to pass a new “you can keep your insurance” law if Obama doesn’t act quickly.

The metrics are looking horrible for Obama and his destructive Obamacare law, certainly. But there are a few things we need to point out, here.

First of all, Obama really can’t just start changing the law by his mere say so. That would be quite unconstitutional… not that Obama has ever cared much about the Constitution, mind you.

But there is another thing that is really important, here.

Even Bill Clinton Says Obama Lied About ‘Keeping Our Insurance if We Like it’

-By Warner Todd Huston

In a new interview, former President Bill Clinton essentially admits that Obama has lied when he told America that we could keep our insurance policies and doctors “if we like them.”

Clinton thought that Obama’s claim that we could keep our insurance is a promise he should have kept. Clinton contends that young people heard this promise quite clearly and it’s one President Obama needs to keep–even if keeping it requires a change in the Obamacare law.

“So I personally believe, even if it takes a change to the law, the president should honor the commitment the federal government made to those people and let them keep what they got,” Clinton said.

Man, when even a president with the reputation as being one of the biggest liars to ever hold that office says you are a liar, you are in REAL trouble.

Cancer Patient Who Lost Policy Can’t Afford New Obamacare Policy, Will Just Die

-By Warner Todd Huston

For being a law that was supposed to be “saving lives” because of the “emergency” of our healthcare system, Obamacare sure is killing a lot of people. Take Bill Elliott, for instance. He has cancer and used to have insurance that was keeping him alive. But now, thanks to Barack Obama, he’s lost his healthcare and cannot afford its Obamacare replacement. So, he figures he’ll just have to die.

Looks like “death panels” to me. How about you?

Mr. Elliott went on the Megyn Kelly show last week to inform the nation that Obama has given him a death sentence.

Three Computer Geeks Made Their Own WORKING Obamacare Website in Three Days

-By Warner Todd Huston

Obama has been toiling for years to create his Obamacare website and has spent billions of our tax dollars in the attempt. Thus far he’s utterly failed to deliver a working website. But three 20-year-old computer programmers in San Francisco only took three days to create a working Obamacre website and they built it of the real site’s own computer code.

The three young men whipped up their version of Obamacare in but days working in their off time and called it healthsherpa.com.

Unlike the Obamacare website, Ning Liang, George Kalogeropoulous and Michael Wasser’s new site shows Americans the info they really want to see. Signing onto Helathsherpa will show healthcare plans and pricing available. All you do is enter your zipcode, and there it is.

Even in 2010 Obama Admitted That Millions Would Lose Their Healthcare

-By Warner Todd Huston

On one hand Obama has spent four years lying outright to the American public telling them that they could keep their healthcare insurance and their doctors if they liked them. But now that the extent of his lie has become so obvious, we are looking back at past statements proving that on the other hand Obama knew all along that he was lying. Here is one from 2010 revealed by House GOP leader Eric Cantor’s office.

On February 25 of 2010 there was a big meeting between the leaders of the Republicans in the House of Representatives and President Obama. It was one of the very, very few times Obama bothered to reach out to the GOP to talk to them and listen to their points. But in this segment of the meeting we see Obama admitting that millions will lose their insurance.

Leader Cantor asks Obama about the 8 to 9 million that might lose their insurance (something we now know is assured, not just a “might”). Obama replied admitting that this was likely true. Of course, he then lied saying that his Obamacare policies would be better.

“The 8 to 9 million people that you refer to that might have to change their coverage–keep in mind out of the 300 million Americans that we’re talking about–would be folks who the CBO, Congressional Budget Office, estimates would find the deal in the exchange better,” Obama said to Cantor in 2010.

See, folks. He knew all along that his claim that everyone could keep their insurance–period–was a lie.

Obama Apologizes For Lying for the Last Four Years About Obamacare

-By Warner Todd Huston

President Obama has been lying to America for four years about his take over of our national healthcare system. Now he’s finally admitting he lied. But, naturally, it’s all someone else’s fault.

Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Obama went on NBC News to issue one of those typical non-apology apologies. Saying he was “sorry” that Americans found themselves “in this situation”–as if he had nothing to do with it.

On November 7, Obama appeared on NBC News with Chuck Todd to deliver his half-hearted mea culpa.

“I am sorry that they are finding themselves in this situation based on assurances they got from me,” Obama said in NBC’s exclusive interview at the White House.

“We’ve got to work hard to make sure that they know we hear them and we are going to do everything we can to deal with folks who find themselves in a tough position as a consequence of this.”

See, America? He’s sorry people found themselves in this situation. You know. The one he created.

[VIDEO] Proof Mitt Romney Lied About Repealing Obamacare

-By Warner Todd Huston

All during the 2012 election for President of the United States, Mitt Romney claimed he wanted to “repeal” Obamacare. But now, months after he lost his bid for the White House, Romney appeared on NBC and essentially admitted that he would have done no such thing and that his plan would have been indistinguishable from Obamacare.

One of Romney’s central stump claims as he ran for President, especially in the waning days of the campaign, was this: “If elected, I will repeal Obamacare on day one.”

But would he?

Obamacare May Kill This Cancer Survivor Who Lost Insurance AND Doctors

-By Warner Todd Huston

President Obama may be about to kill a California woman who has thus far survived cancer because his new Obamacare law has caused her to lose both her insurance and her expert cancer doctors. I guess his claim that we can keep our insurance if we like it is, well, a lie.

Edie Littlefield Sundby has survived stage 4 cancer but is worried that Obama’s new take over of our national healthcare system will be the death of her… literally… because she is losing all her doctors and healthcare insurance thanks to Obamacare.

“I am a determined fighter and extremely lucky,” Sundby wrote in her recent Wall Street Journal article. “But this luck may have just run out: My affordable, lifesaving medical insurance policy has been canceled effective December 31.”

Sundby has discovered that she has found out from Obamacare that she is not allowed to keep what she now has and is being forced to either join the state exchanges or pay far more for a private insurance policy.

Humanities Classes Falling Out of Favor is Higher Education’s Own Fault

-By Warner Todd Huston

In The New York Times Tamar Lewin laments the slow death of the humanities in our system of higher learning. She notes that the humanities are going by the wayside with fewer students signing up for such courses every year. But Lewin gets the reason completely wrong. She blames the recession but in fact it is the fault of our system of higher learning, not economics.

In her third paragraph, Lewin puts the locus of the blame for the slow death of the field of humanities on the economy. She claims that “the recession” has “helped turn college, in the popular view, into largely a tool for job preparation.” Administrators from coast to coast, Lewin says, are concerned about this falling interest among students.

“The future of the humanities has been a hot topic this year, both in academia and the high-culture media,” Lewin writes. “Some commentators sounded the alarm based on federal data showing that nationally, the percentage of humanities majors hovers around 7 percent — half the 14 percent share in 1970.”

The American Academy of Arts and Sciences also issued a report warning that as the emphasis on science and technology grows in our universities, funding for the humanities could suffer.

Wait, Now White House Admitting We CAN’T Keep Our Insurance?

-By Warner Todd Huston

For years we’ve heard President Obama saying that with his Obamacare plan we could “keep our insurance” and we could “keep our doctor” if we like them. This, of course turned out to be a blatant lie and over the last few days one Democrat after another paraded in front of TV cameras to insist that Obama didn’t lie. But now, all of a sudden, the White House is agreeing that we won’t be able to keep our insurance.

As seen in the video above, on Wednesday, October 30, White House spokesman Jay Carney actually admitted it: we can’t keep our insurance.

Of course, Carney floated a new lie to distract from the fact that Obama has been lying to us for years. He said that all the new insurance plans are “better.”

But here is the thing… if poor and lower middle class people couldn’t afford insurance before, they sure as heck can’t afford it now that it is more expensive. Worse, the new insurance plans have thousands of dollars in deductibles and this makes the “new” insurance worse than useless. After all, if they can’t afford the yearly premiums, how can they also afford higher premiums on top of thousands a year in payments they’ll have to make to doctors before their insurance will even kick in?

VIDEO: A Montage of Obama ‘You Can Keep Your Insurance’ Lies

-By Warner Todd Huston

This is devastating. New York Magazine compiled a video showing the many times that President Obama lied directly to the American people and said that with his Obamacare scheme we all could keep our insurance policies and doctors if we like them. This, of course, was a bald-faced lie and this video shows that Obama uttered this lie dozens of times over the last few years.

As the left-wing magazine notes, “Obama did knowingly make an overly simplistic guarantee to the American people that Obamacare wouldn’t affect their current plans. And as this video compilation shows, he made this guarantee over and over again.”

Earlier I reported on how Fox News’ Megyn Kelly slammed Democrat strategist Mark Hannah for trying to pretend that Obama didn’t really lie. But the truth is he lied. Period.

But, you know things are getting bad for emperor Obama when even his kept media is pointing out his lies and New York Magazine isn’t the only one. Even NSNBC took after the President for his obvious lies.

Note From a Young Doctor: Dear Obama, Obamacare is Making Me Quit Medicine

-By Warner Todd Huston

For those who haven’t thought about this, Obamacare will damage our national healthcare system in yet another way: doctor shortages. Now, with an open letter to the nation, one promising, young doctor who graduated at the top of his class is showing us exactly why Obamacare will destroy medicine.

If doctors become employees of the state–as will necessarily happen with Obama’s take over of our national healthcare system–this will mean that doctors are no longer their own person. They will be fully controlled by an all powerful state. This will not only mean that the field of medicine will no longer be a lucrative field for ambitious people to enter, but it will mean that doctors will earn less and less money. This also means that fewer people will want to bother training for 7 to 10 years or more to even BE a doctor and we’ll have massive shortages of doctors across the country.

Further, we’ll have fewer doctors most especially in rural areas outside the richer parts of big cities, too. So, Obamacare will adversely harm the healthcare services to poor, rural communities.

Rep. Cole On McCarthy, Creating New Tax Hikes, and Giving Obama Credit for ‘Reform’

-By Warner Todd Huston

In a recent interview, Representative Tom Cole (R, OK) tried to take the “reasonable” stance by claiming that President Obama deserves credit for “reform,” but wouldn’t go so far as to say the tea party was like McCarthyism. He also said he’s open to tax hikes.

In an interview with Bloomberg’s Al Hunt aired on October 26, Cole said that he thinks “both sides would like to deal with the sequester” and by “deal with” he means he’s open to raising taxes, though he uses the euphemism “raising revenue.”

Cole told Hunt that “we,” meaning the GOP, are “willing to put more revenue on the table” to settle the budget negotiations by the December 13 deadline.

The Congressman claims that the GOP is looking to raise taxes in a “pro-growth” way. Cole also says that he’d like to see a tax hike connected to “larger tax reform.”

When he was questioned on those Republicans that no matter what comes will vote no on new “revenue,” Cole ceded the point that many would.

Sen. Ted Cruz: We Need Our Grassroots Army to Take Down Obamacare

-By Warner Todd Huston

Senator Ted Cruz (R, TX) has not backed off from his drive to destroy the President’s disastrous take over of our healthcare system with his Obamacare scheme and this weekend he was in Iowa bucking up the troops and urging a “grassroots army” to rise up and dismantle Obamacare.

Cruz was appearing before a crowd in Akron, Iowa on Friday, October 25 in three days of events that many think indicates he’s considering a run for President in 2016.

Cruz says he is only focused on his work in the Senate now, but if he does look to a run for the White House, Iowa is a traditional place to start to raise his profile.

Whatever his goals for the future, for today he is still beating the drum to defeat Obamacare and he made some excellent points about the hypocrisy of the left, the Democrats and the Old Media complex (but I thrice repeat myself) that attacked those that wanted to delay and defund Obamacare.

Judge Jeanine Slams Obama: ‘Many Up Mr. President, Give Me a Damn Waiver!’

-By Warner Todd Huston

Fox News’ Judge Jeanine Pirro is so flabbergasted by the mess that is the Obamacare website rollout that she recently wondered if a groundhog had advised the administration to dive back into their hole and put the thing off for another six weeks of bleak Obamacare winter.

Pirro slammed Obama for giving the nation a six-week reprieve on Obamacare because, as the administration says, “we are confused” about Obamacare. She goes on to slap Obama for claiming it is we, the people, who are at fault for the disaster that is Obamacare.

Then she amusingly asked where Obama got his “six more weeks” of putting off the law using a clip from the movie Groundhog Day to ridicule the arbitrary decision to make it six weeks.

High Cigarette Taxes Bring Little Revenue and New Crime

-By Warner Todd Huston

Rumors are once again rumbling in the cash-starved, big spenders in California’s legislature to raise tobacco taxes. But does this work? History says that not only does the tax hike rarely bring in more money to the state the hike also causes more crime as criminals move in with black market good s at cheaper prices.

Once again the denizens of Sacramento are looking to a huge hike in taxes. Earlier this year Senator Kevin de Leon floated a scheme to raise taxes by two dollars a pack for cigarettes.

Democrats claim that this will bring in millions of dollars in new taxes a year but other states have tried this and found that instead of bringing in what legislators thought would come in all they got was more black market crimes and cigarette smuggling.

In 2012, for instance, the State of New York raised cigarette taxes yet still had a $130 million shortfall. The new taxes did not bring in what Empire State legislators projected.

But this is the least of the problems that large hikes in tobacco taxes bring to a state. The biggest problem is that it also brings a hike in crime.

BREAKING: Settlement on Anti-Tax Group’s Political Spending By California Authorities

-By Warner Todd Huston

In the run up to the 2012 election an out-of-state, conservative, anti-tax group put upwards to $11 million into the effort to fight tax hikes in California. Immediately left-leaning groups cried foul and state authorities filed all sorts of charges against the political spending trying to force the group to disclose donors. Now that case has been settled and on terms favorable to the conservative group.

The One million dollar fine settlement was agreed upon between authorities and Arizona-based non-profits, Americans for Responsible Leadership and the Center to Protect Patient Rights (CPPR). The group Americans for Job Security were also a part of the coalition.

CPPR entered the California elections to fight Governor Jerry Brown’s tax hike scheme as well as to advocate for a ballot measure to fight overarching union power. Once in the ring, though, the $11 million being spent was attacked.

At issue is a California law that forces donor disclosure of groups spending on state-centered issue advocacy. Federal law does not require Political action groups to disclose donors.

Harry Reid: Obamacare first step to single-payer system

-By Eric Boehm, Watchdog.org

As the nation enters the third week of the Obamacare health exchange implementation, it’s worth taking a second look at some interesting comments made in August by one of the chief architects of the law.

In short, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., never really thought the exchanges would work.

He just sees the Affordable Care Act as the first step to a fully government-run health care system, something that could be easier to achieve after the glitch-riddled, problematic opening of the federal health insurance exchanges this month.

During an appearance on a Las Vegas PBS program in August, Reid said he sees a national single-payer health system as the natural next step for health care in America. Reid said the nation had to “work its way past” insurance-based health care, according to a recap provided by the Las Vegas Sun newspaper.

“What we’ve done with Obamacare is have a step in the right direction, but we’re far from having something that’s going to work forever,” Reid said.

The so-called “single-payer system” essentially would do away with private health insurance and would allow the government to become the sole provider of medical costs (though all costs would actually be picked up by the taxpayers, of course), similar to the socialized medical systems in Canada, Great Britain and elsewhere. The benefits of a single-payer system, from the government’s point of view at least, is that it does away with one of those pesky Obamacare problems — having to get people to enroll in the exchanges through their own free will.

Politico Buttresses Liberal Republicans at the Expense of Conservatives

-By Warner Todd Huston

The Old Media establishment hates all Republicans, certainly, but they tolerate liberal Republicans because those sorts of Republicans don’t rock the boat and are quite happy taking the scraps from the Democrats’ table. So, the media always does its best to promote liberal Republicans and will use them as a foil to destroy conservatives–the latter of whom they truly despise. Politico recently had a perfect example of this Old Media strategy.

In a piece discussing how conservative Republicans in the House of Representatives are lagging with their donations to the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), Politico had a perfect example of how the left frames the debate when they are pretending to “report” on what is going on with the GOP.

The story noted how many of the House conservatives most associated with tea party principals don’t seem to keen on giving some of the campaign war chests to the NRCC so that it can promote left of center Republicans–and who can blame them?

In a great example of agenda “journalism,” the left’s narrative was perfectly pushed in the third paragraph of the slanted piece by Politico’s Alex Isenstadt.

Here is that paragraph:

Consumer Reports Says Stay Away From Healthcare.gov

-By Warner Todd Huston

President Obama’s new healthcare website is so bad that even the famed consumer advocate magazine Consumer Reports is warning thatAmericans should steer clear of the Obamacare websites until (and/or IF) the website ever gets fixed.

The absurd thing, here, it that Obama has been working on this system and this website interface for three years and the launch has been a disaster. Nothing works–not on the user end or the insurance company end–and the lack of security for everyone’s personal info is extremely bad.

Millions of Americans have tried and failed to get through to the Obamacare website and even those who thought they had signed up will find that in fact they didn’t as the insurance companies that these individuals thought they were contracting with have found that the information coming from the exchange system Obama set up is garbled, incomplete and otherwise useless to them.

Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz is defiant in the face of criticism of his hardline, conservative tactics during the show down over the shut down and the idea of defunding the President’s disastrous take over of our healthcare system with Obamacare. He didn’t go to Washington to make “99 new friends,” he said.

In a new interview with ABC News, Cruz was asked about his purported unpopularity among some quarters (like idiot RINOs, and the anti-American Democrat Party). But Cruz was unbowed by the hate of those that themselves deserve to be reviled–the latter are my words, not his.

Chicago Teachers Union: ‘This City Belongs to Black People’

-By Warner Todd Huston

The Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) is pretty much run by communists and racebaiters. This month we get yet another example of that with a CTU organizer claiming that the city “belongs” to African Americans and not white people.

This sort of hate is typical of the CTU. As seen in the video above, CTU President Karen Lewis is very well known for saying that white people and anyone with a few dollars in their pockets should have no right to tell teachers what to do. The above video is from June of this year and shows CTU chief Lewis essentially saying the same thing as the organizer in the latest story.

For that latest story we go to the Chicago Tribune which tells us that CTU organizer Brandon Johnson dutifully echoed his boss, Lewis.

Obama Threatens to Crash Global Economy Unless He Gets Everything He Wants

-By Warner Todd Huston

This is the most petulant, most arrogant president in American history and now he is threatening to purposefully crash the global economy unless the Republicans bend over backwards, betray their voters, and give Obama every political policy he wants.

Obama keeps claiming that he and his Eurocratic Democrat Party cohorts won’t “pay a ransom” over the current budget impasse in Washington DC. But with his sudden insistence that the GOP abandon the sequester cuts–the only real cuts the GOP has managed to put into place–then he’ll crash the US and global economies. So, essentially Obama is demanding a $1.1 trillion dollar ransom!

$1.1 trillion, as it happens, is what the sequester was going to save. Granted the sequester wasn’t really made up of anything other than cuts in the growth of federal spending, but still it was $1.1 trillion in spending that wasn’t going to happen.

But, now Obama is threatening to force the USA into default unless the GOP abandons even that tiny cut in spending.

Texas Congressman Slams RINO John McCain

-By Warner Todd Huston

Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert is sick to death of RINO Republicans like Arizona senator John McCain, dubbed John McLame by most conservatives. Though he didn’t exactly name the RINO from Arizona, he certainly painted quite a picture last weekend slamming him.

Gohmert was speaking during a panel discussion at the Values Voter Summit that was held over the weekend of October 12 and the discussion moved toward the current budget impasse in DC.

Gohmert then brought up “some senator from Arizona” as he prepared to slam John McCain in a thinly veiled reference.

“I heard just before I came some senator from Arizona,” Gohmert said to laughter from the audience. “A guy that liked Qadaffi before he wanted to bomb him, a guy that liked Mubarak before he wanted him out, a guy that’s been to Syria and supported Al-Qaeda and rebels. But he was saying today ‘The shutdown has been a fool’s errand.’ And I agree with him. The President and Harry Reid should not have shut this government down,” he said to great applause.

CBS’ Jan Crawford: Obamacare Website Launch ‘Nothing Short of Disastrous’

-By Warner Todd Huston

CBS’ Jan Crawford is giving it to America straight. The roll out of the Obamacare websites has been a major failure.

Crawford’s report was quite dire and in fact had not a single positive word to say about the roll out. And, while most of her report took the form of quotes from experts, other media outlets, interested parties, even late night comedians, in her own words she proclaimed it “nothing short of disastrous.”

The CBS report noted that media outlets have not been able to find any Americans seeking health insurance who were able to successfully sign up for Obamacare, pointed out that the administration stonewalled about how many have successfully signed up, and even reported that those that were at least able to create an account have now been told to reset their user name and password and start from scratch.

Crawford also featured a few words from database expert Luke Chung who said that the website is a failure in all respects.

“It wasn’t designed well, it wasn’t implemented well, and it looks like nobody tested it,” Chung said.

Elitist Democrat Congressman Bruce Braley Upset That His Servants Were Furloughed

-By Warner Todd Huston

What is a powerful, important, privileged Democrat member of the House of Representatives supposed to do when his House Gym towel boys have been furloughed? I mean are we to expect a high falutin member of Congress to get his own towel? SERIOUSLY? I mean, isn’t this far too much to expect of Representative Bruce Braley (D, Iowa)?

Well, Braley, for one, is incensed that he’s now expected to get his own towel since the towel boys at the Congressional gym have been furloughed due to the partial government shut down.

Thanks to Emily at Naked DC we find that Braley was complaining that he is far too important to get his own towel but these evil, mean, lowlivian Republicans are forcing the whole of Washington to shut down terribly inconveniencing the most high members of the ruling class like Braley.

It is a crime, I tell you.
