The end of Communism..that will be the day that I do my very first cartwheel!! This guy says the end of liberalism like its a bad thing..I am counting the days that liberals will just leave America and create their own wasteland that they can live in and leave the rest of us alone
Won’t it be great when we can chant:
“OBAMA LIED, LIBERALISM DIED”!!!
(doing to themselves what most Republicans didn’t have the balls to do)
If Mark (Maxi) Shields is worried, I’m happy.
Well, that alone makes Obamacare’s failure worthwhile.
Just said to get the libs all worked up. Nobody watches that show anyway but liberals.
“.....or he made the choice to trade his considerable reputation and record of integrity for short-term political gain.”
Oh, Mark! “Considerable Reputation and Record of Integrity,” you must have had a couple of extra pulls on the Bong just before you went on the air!
Like Hell. As long as there is stupid in humans, there will be liberalism and liberal governments.
Leftist orthodoxy: The ends justify the means. Lying in the pursuit of power is no vice.
A malignant narcissist surrounds himself with people who feed his grandiosity. In the case of Obama, they are at least as malignant as he is.
A malignant narcissist also believes that what he says is true, is true.
A narcissist’s greatest fear is that others around him, those who insulate him from reality, will discover what he really knows in secret — that he is empty and less than zero.
His response might be to lash out or it might be to withdraw. I think Obama withdrew some time ago to protect himself from discovery. I don’t think he is organized enough to lash out effectively. The malignant people around him may act as surrogates to do so, but they are now facing millions of normal people, not just ‘right-wing wackos.’
Another dynamic of narcissism is that normal people who surround a narcissist, upon discovering that he really is empty and less than zero, go to the opposite extremes of scorn and schadenfreude. The latest Dummy Funnies are hinting at that, although I hesitate to call the people at DU ‘normal.’
I don’t think Obama yet admits that he has been found out. I’m not sure he ever will. Treatment of narcissism, whether professional or informal, is universally ineffective. But the people who have wafted him along on the breezes of his narcissistic charm may soon be finding a position for him in another area where his charm can do little damage.
I’m no psychiatrist, but I know all this to be true, having failed to endure a narcissist supervisor, and having studied the topic intensely as a result.
“It would be working just fine if everyone stopped pointing out the things that are wrong with it.”
>>>”The first early one was, they were really late in issuing the regulations because they didn’t want them to come out during the campaign so Romney could attack them.”
David Brooks is a real piece of work.
How does he know that was the reason regulations weren’t issued earlier?
The real reason regulations weren’t issued earlier is that Obama, Sebelius, Baucus, and the rest of the administration, were confident they could invent regulations as they went along, relying on the traditional leftist political fantasy that “somehow” they could make things work.
It’s clear to me the federal clowns simply ASSUMED the website would be the one thing that would work flawlessly, because — after all! — other websites work nearly flawlessly when they’re built by Google, Apple, and Microsoft! So they outsourced the project to some incompetent Canadian company (whose EVP, I understand, is an old college friend of Michelle’s) at an unbelievably inflated cost, and the whole thing crashes.
Don’t count on leftists to learn any lessons from all this. All the lefties I know are grumbling bitterly about the fantastic increases in their health insurance costs, but instead of blaming Obamacare, or the administration that implemented it, or better yet, themselves (for having voted them back into power), they’re blaming insurance companies and doctors!
As Thomas Sowell has often pointed out, the fundamental error of the left is they believe reality — in this case, economic reality — is malleable and will conform to their wishes by means of diktat. The danger of the left is that when their policies fail, they never reflect that it might be their ideas that are at fault; it is, instead, always some other group — a convenient scapegoat — that caused their “well intentioned” policies to fail.

I’ve been rooting for his failure since January, 2009.
Shields has never been right about anything. I hope his luck has changed with this prognostication.
One can hope it is.
We can only hope!
With all of their effort to shift the blame, the truth is the Democrats own Obamacare. Republicans have never wanted it and never voted for it. Because of Obamacare's numerous flaws, Republicans have had 37 floor votes to improve Obamacare by taking out its dangerous parts. As a result, their efforts were rejected by the Democrats in the Senate. Knowing the disaster that Obamacare was, the Republicans sent up more bills to fully and partially repeal, defund, or dismantle Obamacare's worst parts. To say they have not worked to fix it, is fantasy. The truth is, they have always wanted no part of it.
Republican persistence has even been successful: 7 different bills have been signed into law that directly repeal or rescind funding from at least 8 different Obamacare provisions.
However, the Democrat-controlled Senate and the Obama Regime has never ever worked with the Republicans and even shut down the government to stonewall any effort at compromise and to hurt Republicans in the 2014 election cycle.
Because the Democrats have used Obamacare as a political battering ram to hurt Republican, they only have themselves to blame if Republicans let them swing in the wind with the Albatross Obamacare around their necks.
For a good summery of Republican efforts to fix Obamacare go here:
These recurring admissions illustrate the fraud and fallacy of this regime’s agenda.
