Deception is an uncomfortable characteristic to witness.

(FOX NEWS) The architect of the Affordable Care Act insisted on “Fox News Sunday” that President Obama isn’t to blame for the rocky rollout of ObamaCare and deflected charges that the administration misled Americans about being able to keep their current health plans.
Ezekiel Emanuel, a bioethicist, was part of the president’s health care reform team for two years and is the brother of former Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.

“We grandfathered in plans,” Emanuel said.
Host Chris Wallace pressed Emanuel to defend the growing number of cancellation notices sent to people whose plans changed after the law was implemented, but Emanuel could not.
Instead, he blamed much of the problems on insurance companies and not the new law. (more…)

David Gergen appeared on the AC360 Later show on Wednesday October 30th.    Gergen is a Clintonian Liberal, and gave his assessment of how President Obama appears disengaged from governance. 
However, his more accurate summary was when he described the White House as a command center for purely politically driven operations, and not actually governing or accomplishing anything.
…. at least he started out that way until the Kool-Aid drinkers, Andrew Sullivan and Charles Blow, were able to pick their aghast jaws off the floor and begin to push back.  D’oh…. It was quite humorous to watch.
The Copyrighted Video of the segment is available HERE.  It is well worth the watch.   Also, below is the CNN transcription from the segment.

In September 2010, Senate Republicans brought a resolution to the floor to block implementation of the Obamacare HHS grandfather rule. 
The Republicans were warning the current HHS regulations would result in canceled policies and violate President Barack Obama’s promise that people could keep their insurance if they liked it.   The HHS own regulatory rules were predicting this outcome.
The Republicans were referencing HHS Rule 34553 which can be found on page 17 of this pdf and predicted insurance companies would cancel their coverage.

On a party line vote, Democrats killed the resolution, which would have protected people from losing their health insurance policies. (more…)

OBAMACARE DISTRACTION – Predicted October 21st –  Shooter: Paul Anthony Ciancia, 23-years-old  Originally from South New Jersey – “Assault Rifle“…  “anti-government“….  “fatigues”…   “Friday – Busy Weekend – Hollywood”

A law enforcement official, who was briefed at LAX on the investigation but not authorized to speak publicly, said the gunman was wearing fatigues and carrying a bag containing a hand-written note that said he “wanted to kill TSA and pigs.” The official requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly.

Really?….  I mean….  R.E.A.L.L.Y. ?
When do the grown-ups get to take charge again?

[…] “There is nobody more frustrated with the website than I am,” she said. “We should have done better.”
She told community leaders the public needs to be reminded that the website does not function like Amazon.com, where customers are used to logging on to buy a product “like a Tickle Me Elmo doll” before someone else gets it. In this case, Sebelius said, the service is constant and doesn’t run out. (more…)

Just now, people, mostly on the left, are slowly awakening to the tentacles of Obamacare.   Just now, people, mostly on the left, are recognizing their leaders have misled and lied to them.    This awakening, recognition and new reality, is what the White House has strategically tried to plan for and coordinate for several years.
The architects began trying to control the scope of the awakening with a political decision to grant a one year tax mandate delay for employers.   This was purely, and politically, designed to avoid the blistering sunlight  directly as a consequence of tens of thousands of employee layoffs, and millions of dropped policies, headed into an election cycle.
The Jarrett/McDonough/Obama/Reid-Pelosi architectural intent continued with a politically constructed website specifically designed to block sunlight from people seeing their new financial reality – Obamacare costs more.  And the objective remains to keep people from recognizing they are going to lose their current healthcare plan and soon their doctor(s).

(VIA CNN)  Senate Democrats voted unanimously three years ago to support the Obamacare rule that is largely responsible for some of the health insurance cancellation letters that are going out.

In September 2010, Senate Republicans brought a resolution to the floor to block implementation of the grandfather rule, warning that it would result in canceled policies and violate President Barack Obama’s promise that people could keep their insurance if they liked it.

“The District of Columbia is an island surrounded by reality. Only in the District of Columbia could you get away with telling the people if you like what you have you can keep it, and then pass regulations six months later that do just the opposite and figure that people are going to ignore it. But common sense is eventually going to prevail in this town and common sense is going to have to prevail on this piece of legislation as well,” Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley said at the time. (more…)

President Obama, or his immediate staff, have used the following adjectives to describe those Americans who disagree with him politically:   “Gun Toting Bitter bible clingers”, evolved into “radical extremists”, which became “the enemy”, which further evolved into “terrorists” and “jihadists”, then “hostage takers” and “unintellectual slopeheads in flyover country”.
Now, feeling the impact of insurance policy cancellations, we are “small slivers”.

The irony is the outlined target audience, the “twentysomething” Obama-voting crowd….

“We ain’t got no dime for that” !!

Forget the numbers, they are embarrassingly shameful all alone – but that’s not the real story…. that story about how low the number is can be subject to  spin…. as you’ll see in the next 18 blistering hours.   The administration will claim this does not include phone sign-ups or mailed in applications etc.

No, instead focus on the real story.   This CMS Obamacare enrollment report proves it is possible for the administration to answer the question.    This report proves THEY KNOW each day how many have enrolled…. yet they have claimed they do not know.   THAT is the bigger story.

WASHINGTON DC [ Via CBS]  Documents obtained exclusively by CBS News show that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services are intentionally fudging statistics on enrollment and application through state and federal exchanges.

The notes leave no doubt that some enrollment figures, which the administration has chosen to keep secret, are available. (more…)

Wow.   This MSNBC segment ranks right up there in the hierarchy of all time propaganda visuals.    If you know anyone still clinging to the concept of liberalism not infecting the biased presentations of the media, just send them this clip:

The quoted part below starts at the :30 sec mark:

MSNBC’s Thomas Roberts –  Is there an intellectual dishonesty that’s happening here from Republicans who are not willing to admit that the shame should really be on private insurance companies who have been selling junk policies to these millions of Americans that don’t meet, now, the ACA’s federal standard of health care that people should have in this country?
That basically, there are millions of Americans that have been one disaster — that they can’t even comprehend — away from going into bankruptcy because of the fact that they have had a junk policy that has given them a falsity of safety?
