Left-leaning Daily Beat columnist Kirsten Powers, who recently revealed how she lost her health coverage under Obamacare, slammed the Obama administration’s efforts to deal with the metastasizing Affordable Care Act Tuesday night.
On Tuesday’s “Special Report” on the Fox News Channel, the “All-Star Panel” weighed in on the administration’s responses to the disastrous Obamacare rollout.
Washington Post columnist George Will blamed the widening crisis on President Barack Obama’s lack of managerial experience.

Every once in a while she shows some integrity.
George Will: Obama’s “lack of managerial experience”.
Way to bring it, George. /sarc alert
Break your bond with Big Government Statism!
Yes, but wouldn’t she still vote Democrat?
I have a neighbor who’s finally coming around to this as well. I am in a real dilemma in how to react given I’ve put up with his leftist BS for the last several years. I’d prefer to start with a big FU and expect some serious repayment for all they’ve put us through. Frankly, I’m glad they got hit with this.
“They need to be honest about that — that that’s the reason they don’t want to change it,” she continued. “It’s because they’re basically taking the people who are responsible enough to get health insurance in the individual market and asking them to subsidize other people. So they’re taking young healthy people and asking them to subsidize other people. I don’t think that’s going to last, frankly. I think they’re trying to buy time until they think they’re going to reach this next deadline. I don’t think they’re going to reach it and when they don’t reach it … I think there is going to be an absolute — now, not just senators who are up for reelection, you know, calling for this to be fixed — so, I think they’re going to have to respond to that.”
A liberal just got ate by her own. Obama is helping to swell the conservative ranks as more and more are being beat over the head by the Nanny State. Kristen just figured out she is one of the stooges that will be expected to provide for those "according to their needs."
Somebody send her a conservative welcome basket... "From: Your Local Welcoming Tea Party"
Saw that last night...
We were all screaming at the TV “It’s your own damn fault, honey...you are a victim of your own stupidity. Unfortunately, so are others who knew what would happen! No sympathy for you and you have no excuse!”
Kirsten has recently been caught between the rock and the hard place.
She continues to try to be the good little supporter of Obama, but Obama and Team continue to do things that challenge her loyalty.
Ironically, many of the liberals are finding themselves in a similar position. Many Dems are also feeling the pain — especially those planning to seek reelection in 2014.
It is almost sad to watch them.
Almost.
It is also kind of fun to watch them floundering to support their guy.
she has to stop thinking and return to Obamabot mode because once you start to actually look at what they’ve been saying, it’s clear they’ve been lying for five years.
A Conservative is a Liberal who’s been mugged.
Welcome to the Dark Side, Kirsten!
Funny; another one of the so-called "Best and brightest" has been shown to be just the opposite. Kirsten and the other 0bama lefty shills are becoming acquainted with the saying "You reap what you sow".
They shilled for the commie sh*tbag and now they are getting their just rewards. Will they learn from this? Very doubtful!
Might I suggest.... Instead of a flaming sack of dog poo on the front step, I might let him know who the biggest fighters of Obamacare are and invite him to open his mind about who conservatives are fighting for. No "I told you so" stuff.
I recently had lunch with a co-worker. Conversation was about Health Insurance. He said, "I really didn't realize just how much Obamacare was going change things. I don't think anybody knew how bad this was going to be."
After I expelled the food lodged in my throat, I regained composure and temperament and explained, "Sir, there has been a lot of people, starting in about 2009, that have been warning and predicting and fighting against all this stuff. They have been against Obamacare, the bail-outs, deficit spending, Tarp, etc. They are for smaller government and individual freedoms. Have you ever heard of the Tea Party?" He was confused at first....
"Sir, there are great many things going on in our federal government that are egregious abuses and excesses. Many of us (I did admit) have been writing to politicians, some attend rallies, and some help campaigns. But all of us are very diligent about educating ourselves on the issues and fighting against centralized government and redistribution of wealth. It takes some effort to really understand issues. Otherwise you have LIVS (Low Information Voter Syndrome). There is a cure."
There were 5 others at that table with us. Guess what? They were all conservatives and super pissed about what was going on, just afraid to discuss politics. Spread the word.
Powers is a party hack who occasionally pretends not to be a card-carrying member of the Communist/Democrat/Progressive Party. IF her insurance was cancelled and she has to pay more, Boo F’n Hoo! Pull up your big girl panties and deal with it.
Say, Kirsten, still think it was “racism” that caused us to warn everyone ahead of time of the consequences of Obamacare?
Powers is just another hypocritical liberal who is all for socialism as long as they don’t have to pay for it.
If you support democrats, this is what you support.
And another thing - those "responsible people"? Those are EXACTLY the people that Obama INTENDED TO HURT.
Responsible people don't tend to support socialism.
“Sorta like taxes. “
Exactly what I thought when I heard her say this.
Just goes to show why direct taxation was originally unconstitutional unless done to everyone in the same proportion (flat tax).
These little snits vote for all sorts of gov programs, not because those programs are really needed, but because they think they don’t have to pay for it.
Funny thing is, if this is turned into full subsidy, meaning payment is done through taxes, no one would notice!
Sort of like if we didn’t have tax withholding and everyone had to write a check at the end of the year, we’d have a revolution.
As it stands now, when folks get a refund, many folks think they didn’t pay any taxes.
Got to laugh if I wasn’t crying so hard.
