The incompetence of our neo-monarchy
It is a condition of my admission to this great land that I am not allowed to foment the overthrow of the United States government. Oh, I signed it airily enough, but you’d be surprised, as the years go by, how often the urge to foment starts to rise in one’s gullet. Fortunately, at least as far as constitutional government goes, the president of the United States is doing a grand job of overthrowing it all by himself.
On Thursday, he passed a new law at a press conference. George III never did that. But, having ordered America’s insurance companies to comply with Obamacare, the president announced that he is now ordering them not to comply with Obamacare. The legislative branch (as it’s still quaintly known) passed a law purporting to grandfather your existing health plan. The regulatory bureaucracy then interpreted the law so as to un-grandfather your health plan. So His Most Excellent Majesty has commanded that your health plan be de-un-grandfathered. That seems likely to work. The insurance industry had three years to prepare for the introduction of Obamacare. Now the King has given them six weeks to de-introduce Obamacare.
“I wonder if he has the legal authority to do this,” mused former Vermont governor Howard Dean. But he’s obviously some kind of right-wing wacko.

“So let it be written, so let it be done”
Steyn at his best. I love this guy!
We must go one with Zero’s T4 program
As evidence that he was entirely out of the loop, he offered this:
Had I been I informed, I wouldn’t be going out saying, “Boy, this is going to be great.” You know, I’m accused of a lot of things, but I don’t think I’m stupid enough to go around saying, “This is going to be like shopping on Amazon or Travelocity,” a week before the website opens, if I thought that it wasn’t going to work.
Ooooo-kay. So, if I follow correctly, the smartest president ever is not smart enough to ensure that his website works; he’s not smart enough to inquire of others as to whether his website works; he’s not smart enough to check that his website works before he goes out and tells people what a great website experience they’re in for. But he is smart enough to know that he’s not stupid enough to go around bragging about how well it works if he’d already been informed that it doesn’t work. So he’s smart enough to know that if he’d known what he didn’t know he’d know enough not to let it be known that he knew nothing. The country’s in the very best of hands.
My new tagline is from that article.
His Most Excellent Majesty...passed a new law at a press conference.
Brilliantly funny, but the scary part is there is truth in it.
“So he’s smart enough to know that if he’d known what he didn’t know he’d know enough not to let it be known that he knew nothing. The country’s in the very best of hands.”
I'd like to see video that shows those words coming out of 0bama's mouth, in his voice.
Or a scene from Jurassic Park with 0bama replacing the old man who brought the t-rex to life. With 0bamacare, whatever can go wrong will go wrong!
Even in the worst of times, it makes one feel a little better when he can say, “I told you so, dammit.”
George III may have recoiled doing such a thing, but Joseph Stalin wouldn't have.
I am so glad I saw this, thank you for posting at the right time! :)
Truly, this one is THE one for the history books when we try to describe the years Barry Soetoro occupied the White House.
As I said on FB, this is worthy of reading, sharing, printing and framing, and it is truth so it doesn’t matter what side of the aisle you sit on.
Anyone brave enough to go post it on DU?? ;)
It's time for some tar and feathers...
From the article:
But Obama is an incompetent, so “fundamentally transformed” is a euphemism for “wrecked beyond repair.” As a socialist, he makes a good socialite.
