Perhaps he could have been brainstorming with the Republicans when he was busy holding his nose in the air!

2014 - IMPEACH THIS ADMINISTRATION!

This is actually disturbing. I doubt that there are all that many capitalists among Insurance industry CEOs. They may be inclined to make a deal to save O’s ass in return for more taxpayer money.

Brainstorming with Obama would be like discussing Trigonometry with a first grader.

Obama brainstorming is like someone going to the indoor shooting range to fire some blanks.

I don’t trust this either. They’ll just come up with something illegal to do as a “solution”.

It’s pure executive branch fascism — president meeting with industry leaders to determine which parts of the law will be enforced and which will be overlooked (and excluding congress).

Brainstorming == massive exercise in collective stupidity. See also “Goat Rope”, “Cluster Fxxx”, and “Circle Jerk”.

he’s doing the same thing he did with the panels of economic experts. Having them come up with ideas to pull his cookies out of the fire, ignoring them and doing what he wants anyway.
