We’ve been anticipating an increasing frequency of illegal immigration stories in the media headlines.   Examples specifically selected by the media to highlight a narrative portraying illegal aliens as “innocent victims”.    Consider it “The Dreamers 2.0” – only, on steroids.
We fully expect this narrative will be seeded through the upper echelon of leftist news outlets.   Upper tier media conglomerates, individual executive boards, owners and Hollywood working together with political connections to position storylines favorable to illegal alien sympathy.   
[We shall call this “Operation Brown Dream“] 
The “Brown Dream” strategy is intended to build momentum toward the upcoming State of The Union speech where President Obama will demand a comprehensive immigration reform agenda, including amnesty, for 2014.    The politics are strategically aligned to aid in the November mid-terms, but also to act as a distraction to Obamacare.   The Amnesty Bill will create anxiety and divide ranks – this allows the process to move forward and create a Win/Win.    Here’s one example: (more…)

Because he does not want to comply with the “electronic medical records” aspect of ObamaCare.   This doctor, in a town of 11,000, is closing up shop.    The cost to upgrade his office to fully compliant electronic records is viewed to be cost prohibitive.
Predictions:  #1.  This doctor will continue a cash practice outside of the insurance mandates.  #2.  Dr Stephen Kiteck will have an IRS audit confirmed within 60 days.

Is the bloom off the ruse?   Still too early to tell, and the mellennials have repeatedly shown a remarkable propensity to be duped and manipulated (see: Sandra Fluke et al) so until we see consistency from Jon Stewart’s watchers, meh.
WASHINGTON DC – The Obama thrill is gone among America’s millennials, those aged 18-29, just a year after they helped the president win a second term.

A new and shocking poll from Harvard University’s Institute of Politics released Wednesday found that younger Americans are so disgusted with President Obama, Congress, and the troubled Obamacare system, that 47 percent support recalling the president and just 29 percent are planning to sign up for health insurance.
“A critical factor in the election and reelection of Barack Obama, America’s 18- to 29- year-olds now rate the president’s job performance closer to that of Congress – and at the lowest level since he took office in 2009,” said Harvard Institute of Politics Director Trey Grayson.
How bad? Obama’s approval rating among millennials is just 41 percent. Even young blacks are tiring of the president, with his approval rating among African Americans dropping from 84 percent seven months ago to 75 percent today.  (read more)

Two key points.   #1.   ABC weekly panel discussions are the official Propaganda proving ground of the administration.   Sponsored, created and hosted by Democrat Spinmaster and former communications director, George Stephanopolous, you will find the impetus of the State Media talking points refined.    ABC is to weekly Democrat propaganda what CNN is to daily news Propaganda.    CNN does the daily gig, ABC does the recaps.
#2.    The absolute fawn star of the Obama campaign(s) is David Plouffe.   He’s the guy who molds the optics.   ValJar is the “ear”, McDonough is the “fixer” the muscle to keep everyone in line, and Plouffe is the guy who packages the scheme to make it saleable to the sheeple.    If you want to know what Obama is going to do and say just listen to Plouffe talk about the future.    This is a great video in that regard – Think: ‘State of The Union Speech’.

When President Obama said HHS/Obamacare  was going to enter a phase of “rebranding” he wasn’t kidding.    He only left out the part where taxpayer dollars would be used in the new imaging campaign…. and this is ONLY just the beginning.
Which begs the obvious question – If Obamacare is so glorious and great on its merits, why does it need a positive branding campaign?
WASHINGTON DC – With the roll out of Obamacare being as disastrous as possible for the Obama administration, one group was given a $1 million grant to help lead a rebranding effort with hopes of salvaging the law in the eyes of the American people.
Families USA (FUSA) — an organization that describes itself as a “national nonprofit, non-partisan organization dedicated to the achievement of high-quality, affordable health care for all Americans” — was given a $1.1 million grant by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation on October 4, 2013, to gather “success stories” of Americans dealing with Obamacare and distribute them to the media who often refer to them as an “independent” group. This is part of a greater upcoming effort to bolster the perception of the lowly health care law. (more…)

The media is beginning to outline the financial insurance “bailouts” embedded into Obamacare.

But there’s a BIGGER picture being overlooked. Remember, this is entire process is now under the political control of Denis McDonough and Valerie Jarrett. All other considerations need to be thrown out – or you end up chasing your tail.
Obamacare, the construct thereof, the actual reality of it, is a political risk to the Democrats. The White House (McDonough / Jarrett) does not want the HHS website to be open because it now represents a reality flaw inherent in Obamacare.
Average people will be paying more for less.  A working website that allows such comparisons is not in their best political interests.
So they will work diligently to keep these truths hidden. First,  by manipulating the structural architechture of the website itself; second, by directing people away from the government aspect and directly to contact with the insurance providers.
The McDonough/ValJar goal is to insert distance between the real pain of an awakened electorate and the connection to that pain being caused by the White House.

There is quite a bit going on in this video clip from MSNBC this morning.   The new polling numbers show widespread disapproval of President Obama.
However, quite frankly, Bam Bam doesn’t care.    The entire 2nd Term Tour is sold out, the tickets non-refundable, and the only prediction an intellectually honest person would reconcile is the expectation that “something big” will be formulated to distract everyone.

With that simple understanding in mind, and referring to Toronto, Dem Operative James Carville says Dear Leader should just toke on the crack pipe.

Once you get on the bus, you can’t get off til the ride’s over

The media and Republican goal now shifts to the historic national election of first female President Hillary Clinton.

With that in mind the media and the GOP “Decepticons” (the Old Guard) will proclaim New Jersey Governor, Chris Christie, as the second coming of political Jesus.   The Republican establishment will swoon over Christie’s large victory and proclaim his resounding win as evidence he is the last and only great hope for 2016.
In complete, albeit temporary synergy, the progressive media will reinforce this GOP message (in the *DROOLING extreme) because they too have a vested interest in seeing Governor Chris Christie rise to be the chosen GOP candidate in the same vein as they selected Governor Mitt Romney.

[*if you want a funny exercise: record all of the dreamy, swoony and complimentary things the media will say about Chris Christie over the next 48 hours.  Save them, and then compare them to what happens mid-summer 2016 – from the exact same people]

The media do not want a bold contrast. Bold contrasts are dangerous to progressive advancement. Bold contrasts are scary.  Bold contrasts represent “risk”.   Remember who they called “maverick” in 2007.   No, the progressive media will position to have a candidate who is ideologically closer to oppose their chosen Hillary.
Chris Christie fits that billing perfectly.   White banker, pro-amnesty, pro-Islam, pro-big government, pro-big business, pro-bailouts, anti-state’s rights, Pro-FEMA, Pro-expanding Medicaid, Pro-Obamacare;… the perfectly squishy middle-man to replace perfectly squishy Mitt Romney, who replaced perfectly squishy John McCain, who replaced.. well, you get the picture.
The GOP even groomed him in the optic of his victory speech: (more…)
