(VIDEO) CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: The president now is toxic (Dems held hostage to computer geeks)
REALCLEARPOLITICS.COM ^ | 11/7/13 | realclearpolitics.com

The thing is called Obamacare. There's no running away from it. It's got his name on it (NOTE: in a 2012 debate, he told Romney he loves the name). You see him--you think about the policy---you know it's a disaster......the problem for Democrats is, they are being held hostage to a bunch of geeks--fixing not just glitches. The architecture, the underlying structure is wrong. If it isn't up and running smoothly and perfectly Dec 1, as promised, the postponements start, and then the whole thing starts to unravel.

Mmmmmmmm......can’t unravel soon enough for me. The avalanche falling on Dems will be a delightful sight to see.

Start the popcorn machine.

LAUGH BREAK BTW, Sen Mary Landrieu (D-La) is backtracking like crazy-—but they got her on tape on the Senate floor parroting Obaha’s ruinous phrase,” If you like your plan, you can keep it.”

ROTFL

Kraut is just too damn late to the party. I’m sorry. But to include ANOTHER damn deadline (now Dec 1) and earnestly consider it as a benchmark, a milestone - something worthy of at least the barest sane consideration is ludicrous.

Come on Charles! This is you, this is that bow-tied geek, and the rest of those Sunday-Show [token] Conservatives.

Three years, Charles. Three years. Even on the day of unveiling, and for the next 30 days afterward we aren’t even treated to the official acknowledgement of only SIX - count that, it takes one hand and one finger Charles. And you are now saying “if it doesn’t work by Dec 1, then something is wrong?” Duh, dipsh!t.

You don’t reason with a two-year old with a poopy diaper and hopped up on sugar. You don’t consider his/her promises/screams as something really worth considering, and you don’t give them THREE YEARS, and another deadline, and ANOTHER deadline.

Unfortunately, the rest of you token Sunday Show conservatives are just that - tokens. Loyal Opposition, but not too, too vocal. They might take away your Sunday gigs. Step off Brother.

The Reps need to hammer away at a name change for this debacle ... there is nothing affordable, nor caring about the “affordable care act” .... they need to begin calling it loud and clear at every opportunity...DEMOCARE!
This legislation will demolish Health Care in America... and it was passed by only Democrats.... they need to keep reminding the American People that it was the Reps who saw this for what it was, a government over-reaching Socialistic redistributive scheme meant to take us to the one-payer, benevolent government controlling system!

By all rights, once the people realize their premiums will double and their deductibles will rise so high they won’t be able to use their insurance anyway, no democrat should be elected Animal Control Officer even in San Francisco!
Hang his legislation around the neck of EVERY Democrat.
Give up on OBAMACARE... make the Dems own this at every opportunity !! Watch all the Dems up for re-election start to jump the ship away from Captain Barack over the next 11 months.... should be interesting, but devastating to your health !!!

The Pres_ent should be toxic, not because of the failed website, but for the two most flagrant lies of any president in the last 100 years:

#1. Benghazi attacks were a result of unrest caused by and Internet video. Team Obama and even Obama, himself, was repeating that lie weeks after the attacks. More recent security releases indicated they knew al-Qaeda was involved.

#2. ‘If you like your current plan, if you like your doctor, you can keep them PERIOD.’ Obama and Team repeated that for 3 years.

Those are more egregious than the failed website.

they received dispensation for criticizing dear leader but that comes with a price. They will sign any POS legislation that king barry places in front of them after the election.

And then...... Obama said I’m sorry. His answer to an obviously fake staged question on NBC indicates panic

There is tons of money involved, grocery money, kids clothes money, shoe money......... nobody give a damn that the president continues to lie by saying he’s sorry. The people want their money back

That giant sucking sound is not from jobs going to Mexico, it is from money being sucked from family budgets for health insurance

Charles Krauthammer: Obamacare laid bare
Wash/Post | October 31, 2013 / FR Posted by EveningStar

Every disaster has its moment of clarity. Physicist Richard Feynman dunks an O-ring into ice water and everyone understands instantly why the shuttle Challenger exploded.

This week, the Obamacare O-ring froze for all the world to see: Hundreds of thousands of cancellation letters went out to people who had been assured a dozen times by the president that “If you like your health-care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health-care plan. Period.”

The cancellations lay bare three pillars of Obamacare: (a) mendacity, (b) paternalism and (c) subterfuge.

Well put. The website issue is small potatoes compared to the law itself

Charles is on almost every evening and always is critical. The current clip was not made in a vacuum. It is just the current utterance in a long string.

FYI..... Brett Beir’s Special Report on Fox News beginning about 6:40

I agree. The law is ultimately more horrendous and should be the focus of all the world's attention right now.

However, had not the utter ineptitude of Obama government's implementation of it via the website gone so disastrously wrong and brought things down to micro-time - Slow, slow, slow, we'd not be hearing about as many premium increase surprises, denials and dissatisfaction.

Because it is slowed, little teaspoon snippets can be seen in all their gory detail in what otherwise would be part of a massive fire-hydrant stream too fast for inspection and reflection
