I am going to boil the content of all of the Sunday shows and their content into one word.

“LIES”.

Ahh! The One has spoken: “healthcare.cov shall be fixed by November 30”, so it’s time to move on. And so, the supplicant media moves on.

Hiya AB!

Hot topic today appears to be about a non-functioning website. Perhaps we'll hear pundits debate about whether Sebelius will get canned. Will politicians and their sycophant MSM fawns address the jaw-dropping number of people losing their current medical insurance, and unable to obtain comparable insurance under the abominable Affordable Care Act?

I don't expect there will be discussion about the association between Moochelle O's Princeton roommate and the no-bid contract.

Even though Ted Cruz is and may well be for a long time the most important conservative politician in America he is banned from the Talking Heads...after he destroyed David Gregory that time the DNC MSM including Karl Rove’s RINO Fox News, will no longer give him a stage.

But the people on the Talking Heads, including Fox News, will be sure to trash him at every turn.

F&F showed a graphic this morning -- all 3 networks (ABC, CBS, NBC) are running headlines that question the actions and problems of the Obama Administration. Is the luster finally dulling? Don't bet the farm on that. MSM need to make Obama appear successful because they have invested so much in him.

==

I seemed, about mid-week, that the immigration legislation push was making a come-back.

Oh yeah, the Obama Admin would give anything for a new crisis or controversial topic as a distraction from the healthcare.gov fiasco.

Rubio was back -- claiming he was opposed to Comprehensive Immigration. [To get elected in politics, one must be a shapeshifter, it seems.] Now, he can claim he has been on all sides of the immigration issue.


==

Which brings up the question of the week:

Patrick J. Geraghty, chairman and CEO, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida.

^^^^^

What are the odds that Gregory will ask honest questions of this guest?
Such as: How did the Obamacare mandates cause your premiums to become unworkable for so many customers?

Or will he just try to trash a private insurance company.

PS: How many Americans know what “mandate” means?

F&F is pushing women’s lib again. This is the 2nd lengthy interview they have had recently.

[Either it is a slow news day or FoxNews is trying to create an agenda.]

It would be interesting if they spent that much time on real news topics. Too many times, the hosts have cut off interviewees of ‘real’ news topics because they never seem to have time to do justice to those topics. FoxNews has too much fluff any more.

Democrat constituents(include the media) are whining louder about the
web site glitches than about the private sector economy being destroyed.

The legislation forcing buying of health care insurance is not ever what was intended from US Constitution based on experience and good sense.

Before they vote again, they should ask Democrats about ‘jobs’ and
fixing the economy.

They were made fools of spewing that nonsense for Democrats.

Wallace: ‘at least 10 Democrats, DEMOCRATS, are calling for a delay of Obamacare ... ‘

==

[Individual mandate can’t be delayed very long because their intent was to use the premiums and/or fines to create the slush fund Obamacare needs to cover those who cannot afford the premiums.]

Jindal: ‘...we have got to be more than the party of “no” ...’

[Isn’t that code for bigger tent? Bigger tent is code for more minorities, maybe copying the Dems as the party of Santa Claus. But, Jindal insists they need to reduce the size of government. Political gobbledygook!]

To: Alas Babylon!; TomGuy; Recovering Ex-hippie

FOX “News” and Gov. Bobby Jindal, R-La.

Jindal - Doesnt want gov’t running health care

Wallace - continues to want RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE
(for his darling Romney) and changes, and limits,
subject to rollout problems

Jindal - Americans will lose healthcare and have higher premiums

Wallace - who wants delay to keep socialized medicine
alive (FOX “News” agenda) shifts again to healthcare
to Louisiana
— and blames Jindal personally for the relative
lack of healthcare there.

Wallace - “aren’t you leaving (these people) out?”

Jindal - Does not say no directly, but explains how
he improved care quality, expanded care, and decreased
times [perhaps a little too technical for the audience]

Wallace continues with his/FOX “News” attack on Jindal
claiming he was personally stopping RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE
and the White Hut’s medicaid expansion.

Jindal explains that more people in his state would lose
their insurance by adopting that medicaid expansion.
He explains that he “has a better approach” “through
private public partnerships”. Clear discussion continues
which Wallace interrupts as Wallace claims Jindal
represents the GOP, which Wallace calls “the stupid party”.

Jindal points out that it is DC that is “dysfunctional”,
and points out clearly that the states are doing better,
and “setting records for people working” (alongs with GOP
governors) “in thirty states”.

Wallace apparently does not like that and,
ignoring what was said again,
claims the GOP needs a new agenda and asks what “new
conservative proposal” is coming out. Jindal knocks it out
of the park. Education. Choice. States rights.
as one example.

Just watched Xavier Becerra tell us that under the exchanges insurance rates are going down for the vast majority of Americans. It amazes me how effortlessly these Obama sycophants lie. And to top it off, this was his response when confronted with the infamous Obama lie about how we get to keep the insurance we already have and like.

Wallace shows reporter Peter Doocey interviewing young people on the streets of DC, regarding the healthcare.gov website.

Several respondents said they would pay the $95 fine.

==

Per some posts, the fine is $95 OR 1% of the total family income, whichever is larger.

Those who think they only have to pay $95 may be in for a rude awakening, come next IRS Tax Day.

Some quick math:

$95 would be 1% of $9,500 or $4.57/hour for a full-time worker. [Who works full time and earns only $9,500 per year?]

At minumum wage ($7.25) the annual salary would be $15,080 for a full-time worker. At 1% their fine could be $150.

The median household income in the US is $51,371. At 1% their fine would be $513.

The fine increases "more than sevenfold in the next two years, with the fine running as much as $695 per person by 2016. The family maximum would be as high as $2,085 (or 2.5 percent of family income, whichever is greater)." [source: CSMonitor.com

Notice how the pols and Admin never mention the 'percent' fine -- they only mention the $95 fine.

Juan is pulling stuff out of the air to support his position. He keeps saying this or that ‘may’ happen regarding health insurance.

So far, little of what Juan claims holds up. Britt points out that that people are not being allowed to keep their current coverage, as Obama promised. Juan’s response is that they may like the new policy better.

[Juan, Obama LIED. Regardless of whether the new policy is better or cheaper, Obama LIED. Many cannot keep their current coverage, as insurance companies are dropping thousands of policy holders every day.]
