Obama tells supporters to fight ObamaCare ‘misinformation’ - talk it up at holiday parties

use holiday parties and family gatherings to encourage their loved ones to purchase insurance.

Pimps usually get paid - no?

Still, OFA executive director Jon Carson announced that over 200,000 individuals had accessed the teleconference

Apparently, they know how to set up a teleconference better than they do for a website.

“I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face.”

Some of his 'bots actually did this. I recall one in particular who very nearly got something shoved in HIS face.

Why was there more people on the call than have “selected” a plan? Not practicing what they are preaching I see.

“The good news is it’s getting better every single week...I am confident that by the end of this month it is going to be functioning for the vast majority of folks.”

Some time next year when all of the promises turn out to be curses, I suspect a significant spike in the tar & feathers futures market.

I haven’t talked to one person that thinks Obamacare Train Wreck is a good idea...and the one’s that support him...well, they aren’t speaking and usually walk out of the room...

[Gen.Blather]

I have a friend with two uber-liberal brothers. He wanted to take his family on a cruise for the coming holidays. But he says he’ll go up for the dinner for his parents. But he’s dreading the conversation. (It’s all the Republican’s fault, you see...)

[ScaniaBoy]

I remember, we discussed those figures prior to the election.

And we were not the only ones who were suspicious. The fact that the suspicions have been shown to be true just makes one even more suspicious about the whole election result. As far as I remember, the poll figures started to look good for Romney (at least the figures from the more reputable institutes, the Benghazi story made some tentative headlines etc etc) and then came Sandy... Did that storm really have that much of an impact?

PS: Note that the person who was caught cheating for the Census Bureau was from Philadelphia. Same place where several precincts showed 100% for Obama. Hmmm....

[BelleAl]

If someone talks up Obamacare to me, the first question I’ll ask is are you using it?

This whole debacle is like a bad episode of Kitchen Nightmares where Gordon Ramsay discovers the filth (slimy, rancid food, rodents, roaches) in the kitchen, but the chef and staff keep pushing and serving the food. Would the staff actually eat the food... Of course not! But they lament that no one eats at their restaurant. Duh.... Sounds like the Dems to me!

[Venturer]

I do not know how Democrats expect to hide when the corporate policies begin to be canceled.

Millions of Americans will be raped by this bill. Losing their health care and being charged atrocious prices for new health care.

The only people making out on this deal will be those who do get free care, paid for by the rest of us.

[PghBaldy]

LOL- he couldn’t even have a technically proficient conference call!

[erod]

Yeah really smart strategy, this is just one reason why I have 0 desire to visit my family during the holidays. And what successes can they brag about? Seriously from the website not working, to cancellations of policies people liked, and rates on the 0bamacare exchanges that nobody can afford the thing has been an effin disaster.

[Liz]

Obama's tone was noticeably subdued — amplified by a scratchy phone connection - making it difficult to hear his remarks........

Scratchy phone connection?

Oh, that----musta been the quicksand.

Hard to communicate when you're up to your neck in it.

[DaveA37]

I’m sure everyone will be “talking it up (odumbocare) at their holiday parties. (sarc)

[MeshugeMikey]

Barrys does not appear to be particulary well suited to long term thinking does he.

oh wait..... hes lying! he knows whats coming down the road.

[MeshugeMikey]

this guys legacy is already..etched in stone...he just hasnt noticed it yet!

[ColdOne]

should use holiday parties and family gatherings to encourage their loved ones to purchase insurance. I doubt that would go over well at any gatherings i go to.
