Kuttner: Obamacare a Complete Mess; President Lost Control of the Narrative and the Politics

-By Warner Todd Huston

The latest liberal to lament Obama’s downward spiral is Robert Kuttner, founder of the liberal The American Prospect magazine. Kuttner says that Obamacare is a “colossal mess,” was an “accident waiting to happen,” and that the President has lost both the “narrative” and the politics of the situation.

Kuttner, of course, was an advocate of single payer and was unhappy that Obamacare didn’t go for the elimination of private healthcare at the outset. And in his newest op ed, Kuttner reiterated his position that the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, was bad law in the first place.

“The Affordable Care Act,” he wrote at Huffington Post on November 17, “as a government mandate for people to purchase private insurance with an array of possible subsidies, had too many moving parts. It was an accident waiting to happen.”

With Obamacare, Kuttner said, “we got a program that was poorly understood by the public because it was almost impossible to explain and even harder to execute.”

Disappointed Obamacare Lover Jessica Sanford is the Perfect Low Information Voter

-By Warner Todd Huston

Jessica Sanford was running totally on faith, not knowledge, until she got sandbagged by Obama’s unaffordable care act. But even after she found out that Obama screwed her over she still invoked her religious belief in the man. It was never his fault, you see?

Jessica Sanford was on a high on October 21. She had gone through the effort to logon and navigate through the Obamacare website in her Washington State home and found that she qualified for a gold level insurance plan at a mere $169 a month (yaaaa, Jessica) the taxpayers picking up the rest (yaaaa, us).

Her high got still higher after she wrote a nice thank you note to the President and he actually read it to the nation in a November 21 press conference to tout his wonderful healthcare law.

But then she got a letter from her state insurance exchange that was sad to inform her that they made a teensy tinsey mistake. She really didn’t qualify for the gold plan and all that taxpayer funded assistance.

So she tried again and found a little worse plan for a little more out of her own pocket, but still with taxpayer cash floating her lifestyle.

And it kept rolling downhill.

SNL’s Hilarious Slam: Obama Anti-Depressant Pill Ad

-By Warner Todd Huston

Saturday Night Live is pretty late to the game of ridiculing President Obama, to be sure, but this anti-depressant drug spoof slamming Obama is pretty well done.

In the skit we see a depressed President Obama in black and white moping around the White House beset by second term blues.

Hilariously, early in the ad the voice over says, “It feels like even your friends have turned against you.” That is followed by video of Bill Clinton (the real one, not an SNL actor) slamming Obama for lying about Americans being able to keep their health insurance and doctors if they like them.

The ad introduced “Paxil,” a drug that will help Obama forget all about Benghazi, the IRS scandal, NSA spying on Americans, the AP scandal, Obamacare, and more (like he needs help forgetting those, he perpetually forgets about his scandals).

New York Senator Dismisses Obama’s Obamacare Lies, ‘We All Knew’ He Was Lying

-By Warner Todd Huston

Senator Kirstin Gillibrand (D, NY) has finally admitted that they all knew that Obama was lying right to everyone’s face when he claimed that we could keep our insurance if we liked it.

Senator Gillibrand appeared on ABC’s This Week and made the admission in a discussion about the monumental failure that is Obamacare. She was asked by Hostess Martha Radditz if Obama lied.

In reply, Sen. Gillibrand noted that “we all knew” he was lying because his Obamacare policy was intended to destroy all old insurance policies and replace them with his government mandated plans.

ABC’s Raddatz asked, “Do you feel misled by Obama?”

Gillibrand then said, “He should have been more specific.”

But Radditz pressed asking, “So were you misled?”

“No, we all knew,” Gillibrand replied. “The whole point of the plan is to cover things people need.”

Rep. Pelosi Lies, Claims Obamacare had 5 Times More Enrollees Than it Actually Does

-By Warner Todd Huston

In case you forgot about her (and who wouldn’t want to forget about her) Democrat Representative Nancy Pelosi is still out there lying with the best–or worst–of them. This time Pelosi is claiming that 500,000 Americans signed up for Obamacare when even Obama’s own numbers state that only 100,000 did so.

Pelosi was once the Speaker of the House of Representatives, now, thankfully, she is a minority leader with little power or influence. But she is still spinning left-wing lies and this one is a whopper.

Pelosi–or as some wags call her “Pelousey”–took to Twitter to trumpet the many hundreds of thousands of new enrollees in Obamacare.

But, even the Department of Health and Human services from Obama’s own administration is saying that only 100,000 were able to sign up and get new insurance.

Even Lefty Howard Dean Thinks Obama Has No Authority to Fix Obamacare

-By Warner Todd Huston

Today Barack Obama claimed that he was going to “fix” Obamacare by making insurance companies continue to offer those polices belonging to millions of Americans that have been cancelled because of Obamacare. But does he have the legal ability to do this?

On Thursday morning Obama held a press conference again apologizing for the mess that has been the Obamacare rollout and for his four-year-long lie that we could keep our insurance “if we like it.”

So, Obama made the proclamation that instead of losing our insurance, we can keep it for another year. How generous of him, eh?

This is something one-time candidate for the Democrat nomination for President, Howard Dean, thinks that Obama probably cannot do.

“I wonder if he has the legal authority to do this, since this was a congressional bill that set this up,” Dean said on MSNBC after the President’s address.

Already authorities from Washington State have said that they cannot allow the President to reverse his destruction of millions of insurance policies and simply reinstate them just on his say so.

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.

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.

Twitter Covers for Obama, Cancels Account of People Who Lost Their Health Insurance

-By Warner Todd Huston

Social media giant Twitter has come under fire for canceling the account of a group hosting photos of people holding cancellation letters they received from their insurance company for accounts that were canceled because of Obamacare.

Twitter is now obviously working for President Obama to fool America into thinking that he didn’t lie when he said we could all keep our insurance if we liked it. Apparently, Twitter has chosen sides.

Thus far, 3.5 million Americans and counting have lost their healthcare thanks to Obama’s take over of our national healthcare system. So, a website to chronicle cancellation notices was created called MyCancellation.com where folks that Obama had thrown off their insurance could share their woes.

Naturally, as everyone does these days, the folks at the website created a Twitter account to advertise their website.

But as soon as they signed on, Twitter began to shut down the group’s Twitter feed.

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.

Could Obamacare Just be a Giant Democrat Voter Registration Scheme?

-By Warner Todd Huston

Obamacare may just be the biggest, boldest scheme by Democrats to register millions of new Democrat voters, analysts say.

There is one thing many Americans don’t know about Obamacare. Within the procedure of implementation of the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare, billions of tax dollars are being given to left-wing groups to “help” people learn how to sign up for Obamacare. But, worse, those same groups are permitted to register people to vote Democrat.

These left-wing groups–called Obamacare “navigators”–are comprised of left over remnants of the now partially defunct group ACORN, other left-wing community groups, and union operatives, Democrat hacks all.

As part of their duties of “helping” people sign up for Obamacare, these “navigators” are also authorized to register people to vote over the phone and via the Internet. We’ll give you one guess as to which party they will push people to sign up for. Yeah. Democrat.

As former New York Lt. Gov. Betsy McCaughey pointed out in a recent commentary, these left-wing activists turned Obamacare “navigators” are not restricted from pressuring people to register as Democrats. She said that these so-called navigators “can say and do things that government employees can’t, such as urging people to register as Democrats.”

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.

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.

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.

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.

Shades of Obamacare? Chinese Man Cuts Off Own Leg Over Inability to Afford Healthcare

-By Warner Todd Huston

So much for the worker’s paradise in Red China! A man in Hefei Province, China was forced to cut his own leg off because he could not afford the cost of the operations and healthcare regimen that he needed to save his life.

Zheng Yanliang, who is from Boading, used a hack saw and a paring knife to remove his own rotting leg after suffering for over a year with intense pain as his leg withered and rotted.

Yanliang, a former farmer and factory worker, says that his pain began in January of 2012 and after several visits to the state hospital he was diagnosed with an arterial embolism.

Unfortunately for Mr. Yanliang, he was unable to afford the long treatment plan doctors outlined nor could he afford several operations he needed.

84-Year-Old Obama Supporter Pulls Gun on Conservatives Protesting

An 84-year-old Obama supporter is accused of pulling a gun on a pair of middle-aged white women who were hosting a protest of Obama and his policies in Gwinnett County, Georgia.

As WSBTV reports, “Protestors Toni Pendley and Marge Moore are part of the Overpasses for Obama’s Impeachment movement, a national movement that places signs along interstate overpasses with anti-Obama messages.”
