This bsing liar appears to be another lying wretche, aka a lying savant* mediot, not a journalist.

Savant Mediots can’t get a real job based on their skills and training. So they become faux journalists aka lying savant* mediots, whose main task is lying to supporting the lies of the Obozo and his lying Obozoites, instead of reporting.

*Savant = Savant syndrome From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

“Savant syndrome is a condition in which a person with a serious mental disability, such as an autism spectrum disorder, demonstrates profound and prodigious capacities or abilities far in excess of what would be considered normal.”

” People with savant syndrome may have neuro developmental disorders, notably autism spectrum disorders, or brain injuries. The most dramatic examples of savant syndrome occur in individuals who score very low on IQ tests, while demonstrating exceptional skills or brilliance in specific areas.”

Did you know that on November 1, millions of Americans suffered painful cuts to nutritional assistance? Not a single Sunday-morning talk-show mentioned it.

As a matter of fact, I DID hear about the cuts, over and over and over again. Just not from the Sunday morning shows. Talk about cherry picking your "facts".

A barf alert might have been helpful . . . .

“If you like your synecdoche, you can KEEP your synecdoche!”

I’m smarter than the average bear, but obviously NOT as smart as them New Yawkers. WTH is that word and what does it mean? LOL!

It means that Jonathan has a whole lot of education and no brains.

Obama boot licker author trying to ‘rationalize by triangulations’ the wonders of the ACA. Nice try but no cigar. Or would that be a reefer?

Note the word “obsession” in the title. Whenever the Obama supporters discuss those who do not give uncritical support to Obama’s pursuit of unlimited government, they end up accusing those who do not conform of either being mentally ill, stupid, or racist. It’s as if they cannot fathom that anyone might have different values or different priorities without suffering from a clinical mental illness, cognitive problems, or a deep racial motive. It says a lot about Liberals that they never have respect for anyone unless they’re in accord with them.

The way it might have worked is if the exchange subities were 100% for everyone, making it free for a year or two to get the desired # of people to join to keep the risk poor balanced.
Then cut it back once insurance companies can price it.

And a punitive mandate tax, not the joke one.

Fortunately to get it passed it was designed to fail.

The rate shock you see now is merely the headlight of what is about to hit you after amnesty passes.

“...originally meaning accepting a part as responsible for the whole, or vice versa.”

Well, that certainly does NOT apply to 0bama! He’s never responsible for ANYTHING!

Worst. _Resident. Ever. EVER!
