Coming soon: The unraveling of Obamacare
Chicago Tribune ^ | October 22, 2013 | by Dennis Byrne

Obama, liberals and Democrats are about to discover reality. They have defined themselves by rigidly opposing even the most rudimentary repairs of Obamacare. And by setting their jaws firmly against every attempt to stop piling our debts on future generations they have defined themselves as the more selfish and self-serving of the two parties.

All I know is that we had better not let them morph this into socialized medicine without forcing them to come up with and vote on a whole new law.

It’s pretty hard to morph a trail wreck into a single payer system. More likely the entire mess will be abandoned and existing insurers will step into the vacuum.

It is somewhat entertaining to watch the LIBs/DIMs and other commies squirm and whine over the collapse of their perfect nobamacare. Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

It's hilarious to watch.

Obama is like the crazy woman in the movie about the French Revolution that says “Guillotine, GUILLOTINE!” while he tries to re-knit what has unraveled without a knitting needle.

Agreed. So many here at FR think this is all planned to lead to single payer....if so it is a very bad plan. If we cannot trust our gov to deliver obamacare how can we trust to deliver single payer?

Obamacare is clustercare...

Exactly. Mark my words, the Rebublicans will get blamed by the media and Dems for the failure of ObamaCare. Maybe they will be linked with the evil insurance companies, or will be accused of sabotaging it. And McCain and King will agree.

His Rose Garden speech WRT the failed system was not the Obamacare mea culpa some had predicted......liberal Wash/Po blogger Ezra Klein tweeted, “....seems weirdly similar to a speech Obama would’ve given if the exchanges were working fine.”

Now, you have to ask yourself----why did "His Greatness" heave himself into the Rose Garden to speak to his subjects?

I refer now to "Rush's Theorem": Oboohoo endlessly golfs and vacays b/c he can't appear to be governing. B/c he would have to take responsibility when things go wrong

Precisely what's happened here----he's tied like a squealing pig to Obamacare---w/ all it's flops and failures. So he's forced to address his subjects to reassure them he's as great as he told them he is.

================================================

AS FREEPER SICKOFLIBS INSIGHTFULLY POSTED: If we oppose Obama’s Brave New World of socialist initiatives then we are responsible when things go wrong, not Obama. Benevolent Obama is all-knowing, all-wise. Between golf games and vacays, he can do no wrong.

===================================

AFTER THE SPEECH LAUGH BREAK:

<><> Fox called the 800 number touted by Obaba---operator said they can't give out info over the phone.

<><> Fox's Brett Baier reported a caller to the 800 number was told to go to the web site.

<><> Many reported getting busy signals---but Hannity got through--said the operator reported no one likes it.

==============================================

Obombo blamed Americans for the web site snafu-—said too many were accessing it. But wasn’t that the idea? They sold it as the panacea for millions of uninsured. Why weren't they prepared for the onslaught of callers?

=========================================================

Obamacare's a political infection spreading rapidly.......like a virulent flesh-eating disease. ALL the Dems who voted for this (no Repubs voted for it) need emergency medical help. Good thing they’re covered.

ROTFL.

I think this fiasco has really poisoned the well for the Administration. After this, EVERYTHING they propose is going to be met with a chorus of, “You couldn’t even build a website! You expect us to believe you can (fill in the blank)?”

THESE ARE TRULY MOMENTS TO REMEMBER Cincinatus' wife reminds us that that "Obamacare is The Spawn of Hillarycare."

For the Democrats, Obamacare is spiraling out of control like a cancerous growth----more like an extremely virulent flesh-eating disease......spreading fast amongst the Dem political classes.

INCONVENIENT FACTOID ALL the Democats voted to give us Obamacare and ALL the Republicans voted against it.

So sit back and enjoy political theatre at its best.....

BTW, Va's Cuccinelli has already grabbed onto this as a political issue....even as Bill and Hill came by to make sure the Dems vote fraud meat grinder was being readied for Cuccinelli.

———single payer system.-——

Actually it will be a no payer system

What we’ve learned is that the Obamacare administration is incompetent. There will never be assurance that a bill rendered will ever, much less promptly, be paid.
