Barack Obama will speak to the nation today at 11:25 a.m. EDT from the Rose Garden with citizen props standing around him to tout the glories of Obamacare. The White House has leaked to the press Obama is "frustrated" about the problems with the government exchange website.

For real? Again? What is the deal? I wonder..did Hitler or Mao ever stage fainting girls at speeches?

“LOL WOMAN FAINTS”

She probably just found out what her new Obamacare premium is!

[chessplayer]

Libs starting to claim the website doesn’t work because the GOP and Tea Party are/have sabotaging/sabotaged it.

[newnhdad]

I wonder if they pay people to “faint” at these events..

[TomGuy]

Ut O!

CNN is saying that Obama only used examples that showed people saving premium costs, but .... some may actually see their premiums go UP!

Obamacare is so bad that even CNN cannot cover up how bad it is.

Oh, good. Maybe it will be over by 12:30, so viewers won't have to miss any of The Young and the Restless.

Folks with employer insurance are affected allright. Premiums going up, up, up! Having to pay for everybody else! Income redistribution!

[Fresh Wind]

And 85% of you are not even affected since you already have Medicaid, Medicare, and employer supplied insurance

That is a big, fat, stinking, steaming LIE from the LIAR IN CHIEF. Every one of those programs is affected by FUBOcare because FUBOcare is imposing standards on every health insurance program in existence, and even private insurance is either being forced to raise rates, or are doing it just because they can get away with it.

... some may actually see their premiums go UP!

Hmm....considering how large a proportion that will see their premiums go up, I think "some" is covering up. Though, not completely.

Byron York ‏@ByronYork 41s RT @philipaklein: Can't make this up. Got through 800-number, followed prompts, and got referred to http://Healthcare.gov .

LOL!

Do you think the SOTUS (Salesman of the United States) ever has tried the number himself?

What a facepalm even this speech was. I never thought I would see the serving President of the United States selling insurances on national television.

Kinks? Ray Davies wants a royalty check!

RE :”This is really ridiculous. This guy is still trying to sell this “law of the land,” which most Americans don't want. If it is so great, why the sales pitch? Why the clapping seals as a back drop? “

With the ‘fine/tax’ being about $95 (with no penalty for not paying for it ) there is a risk that people who would pay much more than they will get from it ('young healthy people') wont sign up for it.

They are needed to pay for those who are already ill who sign up (those on stage with him) or it doesn't work, or they just pay their own bills and nothing changes.

So Obama is talking to those who believe in him. 'Sign up. its a good deal'

[CedarDave]

This is really SNL type stuff. And there will be no questions asked by the MSM sitting there. Obama is using his sales pitch. Thankfully, Fox is cutting away now.

Already up there:

Saturday Night Live Mocks ObamaCare

“law of the land,”????

You must mean “law of the democrats”!!!!

[caww]

......" Maybe the techies sabotaged this technological trap from the beginning"......

That thought had crossed my mind more than once......if not perhaps those they're hiring from the outside will do so. 5 millions codes says this is going to take a long time to fix, and with each fix another problem will be discovered..... and this is just one of the many problems.....And so.....lots of room for anyone to tweek here and there.

Then there's the interface with the Insurance companies and hospitals yet to be realized.....lololol...what a sham!

[caww]

<..." We are making the same mistakes with Obama as the Germans and Russians did with their despots. We are giving him and his henchmen more power than they could possibly need"....

[caww]

.....”Young people can stay on their parents plan until they get medicare or the parents kick them out, — actually, to age 27”......

If ObamaCare relies on healthy 20-somethings signing up, why did Obama arrange it so they could stay on their parents health plans? Is a question that needs an answer.
