SQUIRREL! NYT and WashPost focus on Obamacare Website Tech Procurement
Vanity | December 23, 2013

Posted on 12/23/2013 2:37:24 AM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

LONG front page stories in the New York Times and in the Washington Post are doing their best "Squirrel!" -- a MSM/White House push to divert focus away from the LAW of Obamacare (aka ACA).

Because of the exploding number of Americans angry about what has happened to their rights and their healthcare (a disaster still unfolding with no end in sight) they're working overtime to divert our anger from the destructive law that Democrats and Obama pushed through on a party line vote.

The NYT and the WaPo want us angry about government procurement and the selection of Tech buying and not thinking about what lies ahead for the U.S. healthcare system. They want us to blame Obamacare's failure on the website (and GOP resistance to the law).

The Left warns us that the government needs to clean up their tech act - join the Twenty-first Century. They do not want the focus to be on the "Affordable Care Act" aka Obamacare. And they want Republicans to help fix this unworkable Democrat law.

They do not want America to dwell on the "Number one (biggest) LIE of 2013 (some might say of the decade or longer):

Obama/Democratic Party/Obama's Dedicated Media: "If you like your healthcare plan you can keep it; if you like your doctor you can keep him. PERIOD!"

The Democrats are right to be concerned about holding the Senate in 2014 and the White House in 2016.

Now's a good time for campaign-era articles to go viral---how Obama
bragged about him and his campaign team's tech savvy---how they ran and
won, financed by their clever use of tech.

===========================================

Actually, the presstitutes' tech procurement agit-prop will not be in
vain
--if they nail Michele's schoolmate's company which raked in all the
money for the botched web site.

Toni Townes-Whitley, Senior Vice President at "CGI Federal" for
Civilian Agency programs, healthcare.gov designers
is Princeton Class 1985---same dumbed-down class as Michelle Obama. Both are members of
the racial separatist organization----Association of Black Princeton Alumni.

"I wake up every day wondering how I ever graduated from Princeton."

======================================================

We, the people, ripped off by CGI for $$hundreds of millions wonder, too.

SQUIRREL! is a good expression to adopt in political debates as a way of calling attention to distraction.

For those that are not in the know, SQUIRREL! comes from a Disney PIXAR film called UP!

In the film, dogs are fitted with collars that enable them to talk. Every time they see a squirrel, the drop what they are talking about, look in the direction of a squirrel and shout SQUIRREL!

I asked one of my kids where something was the other day -

she pointed to it and said “Point!”

That’s the squirrel with the impressive equipment, isn’t it?
But the picture has edited that out.
