Reid: We Only Extended Obamacare Because People Don't Know How to Use the Internet
Townhall.com ^ | March 26, 2014 | Sara Jean Seman

Sen. Harry Reid (D., Nev.) had an excellent reason for the latest Obamacare deadline extension—thousands of Americans just aren’t “educated on how to use the Internet.”

Despite the fact that Obamacare has already been delayed 28 times, Reid told a reporter Wednesday “there’s no hiccup or delay.” The problem is not the glitchy Healthcare.gov or the fact that nobody wants the insurance being offered, according to Reid. The real issue is that many people just aren't as tech savvy as his grandchildren...which doesn’t really help Reid’s argument seeing as millennials are abandoning Obama along with his managerial legislation.

There is already the option to mail in your health insurance information, or call. So perhaps the older generation has forgotten how to use the postal system and the telephone as well.

The White House originally projected Obamacare enrollment would reach seven million by March 31. They then clipped this number to six million, and are still looking at missing this modified goal by one million. Even if Reid’s ludicrous claim has any truth, it is extremely unlikely that a hidden pocket of tech-burdened Americans are going to boost enrollment numbers.

Sometimes you just need to accept defeat and save yourself some embarrassment.

Gee, I'm thinking that was s-o-o-o-o nice of Harry to tell us what dummies we are WRT the internet. We really should do something nice for Harry---as a token of appreciation.

Luckily, with Republicans taking over the Senate, that gives us dummies some really nice options.

I know. Let's give Harry a brand new office ....in the Capitol's sub-basement, next to the furnace. Harry'll just love his brand-new cardboard desk (some assembly required). Although I hear phone service isn't hooked up down there yet. Too bad. Harry can always use smoke signals (from the handy furnace) to communicate.

And give 'ol Harry a comfortable desk chair---and tell him not
to worry about all those silly electrical switches laying around.

"What the hell is this?"

I want to know when Republicans get organized and start attacking in a unified manner. Reid, Pelosi and Obama need to slammed every day with the same lines coming from every Republican. Then tie it back to every Democrat running for election this year ... even if is for dogcatcher.

If their dead how can they sign up. Democrat voters have been gleaned from cemetery markers. Reid and Piglosi are dead too.

The young people they need know how to use the internet and said no. Maybe they can send grandpa & grandma to community college to learn how to use it. Oh wait, they go into medicare.

Seriously, I hope they don't force the military onto zerocare.

Rush predicted this angle “It’s the fault of those trying to sign up” sometime last November.

The surprising thing is that it took so long for his prediction to come true.

Yup. And those LIV we see online are all loaded to the gills with information. Anti-American, anti-God, anti-liberty misinformation, disinformation, ie, communist/Marxist/fascist/anarchist propaganda. All of it evil and none of it bearing any resemblance whatsoever to Truth.

That’s probably because half of them are really
regime operators out to make the LIV feel good
about themselves.

I’m kinda glad I’m old, I’ll be gone in the
first years of the “Troubles”.

Reid thinks his low information voters are going to learn to use the internet in 15 days? Don’t know who’s stupider - Reid or his backers...

Besides, didn’t the democrat base have ‘navigators’ to teach them how to cheat the system? How to lie to get the free coverage? O’Keefe did some cool work with this... and MORE To come...
