Jon Stewart’s Scathing Obamacare Critique Is as Ruthlessly Honest as It Is Funny

“Yes, apparently the Healthcare.gov website has 99 problems, but a glitch is all of them,” Stewart joked. After playing a clip of a news report outlining the problems users are having with simply logging in on the website, he then noted that “the first step” doesn’t even work. The horrific rollout of Obamacare has left Democrats completely unable to “spin this turd,” he added. Watch the rest of Stewart’s scathing Obamacare takedown via Comedy Central (Warning: Some strong language):

Jon Stewart Sucks!

[Cicero]

Sorry, I can’t stand listening to it. Does he mention that Obama is to blame?

[GregoTX]

Jon Stewart does not want private insurance companies to be involved at all, he is a socialist.

On October 7th when he interviewed Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, Jon Stewart argued that a market-based strategy toward health care is a flawed concept in itself and that a single payer system would have been a more simple approach.

Stewart want full blown government controlled and rationing of socialized health care services.

The website boondoggle is even being critisized by Obama's most fervent fluffers supporters. While it is fun to see his sycophants point out his failure none of them will ever critisize the flawed premise of government intrusion into healthcare. That is the disease from which this failure of a website is just a symptom but we will never see that even suggested by one of the leftist faithful. They will simply act as though this is an embarrassing technical glitch in the glorious march to government controlled deathcare

Even this Socialist can see its a rolling disaster-—How long before the people who follow his take on the news start calling for Obama’s head? Its the beginning of the end for “The One” —I agree with Huckabee that He will not make it to 2016.

Unlike the no info FReepers I actually listened to it this morning and it was great.

[longfellow]

OH YEAH? NOT AS MUCH AS BILL MAHER!!! GO AHEAD NAME ANOTHER POS WORSE, I DARE YA.

[Hardraade]

Oh yes.

The spouses reported as children, isn’t that familiar? In shariah?

[Colonel_Flagg]

Come tomorrow night, Obama enabler Jon Stewart will again be taking his Kool-Aid intravenously.

[Kickass Conservative]

Stewart would Vote for Obama a third time if he could.

A Useful Idiot is always a Useful Idiot.

Great video!

Sorry, I can’t stand listening to it. Does he mention that Obama is to blame?

As a public service to FR, I watched the video. Stewart started by slamming the Republicans for shutting down the government.

Then he went on to criticize the Obamacare website. He hit it hard. But he did not blame Obama at all. Stewart made it seem like the problem was all contractor error. No mention, of course, as to who chose the contractors!

I wonder if eventually the media will spin Obama as the victim here, the victim of evil contractors.

[dfwgator]

They’ll blame the Republicans for sabotaging it.

[Sherman Logan]

a single payer system would have been a more simple approach.

Well, that's inarguable.

Of course, simpler does not always equate to better or more efficient. And never to increased freedom or choice.

[Durus]

This is important to note. The left will take the failure of Obamacare and use it as an excuse to call for a “single payer system”, in other words they will break what was the best medical system the world has ever seen with socialist intrusion and use that as an excuse for more socialism. Same as it ever was.

[LyinLibs]

Good point. The simplest approach would be the government shooting us all in the head. It’s quick, cheap, and doesn’t require a website. Sadly that’s where every Marxist regime ends up.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

This is 95% hilarious. Just skip the first :30.

You won’t be disappointed. Funniest commentary I’ve seen yet.

[Retired Chemist]

Calling Obama Ron Popeil sure was funny.

[TurboZamboni]

Ron actually cared people got something they wanted.

I bet the people taking orders for The Pocket Fisherman were not illegal aliens or former ACORN stooges.
