Hard Sell
The Weekly Standard ^ | Dec 9, 2013, Vol. 19, No. 13 | MATT LABASH

Posted on 12/03/2013 6:34:32 AM PST by Freeport

Hollywood, Fla. Standing here on the streets of Hollywood with two comely Obamacare cheerleaders by my side, I’m feeling fired up and ready to go. I’m feeling like the change I’ve been waiting for. I’m feeling like whatever Obama cliché you can think of. And all I want to say, like the late Todd Beamer before me, is, “Let’s roll.” Or more like, “Let’s enroll.” Because much as Beamer, God rest his soul, took on the terrorists who tried to take down America, we are now in a similar cataclysmic fight: the fight to guarantee that every American has the right to buy overpriced health insurance on a glitchy website, under threat of punitive tax penalties.

I’ve come to Florida to go door-to-door with the foot soldiers of Get Covered America, the boots-on-the-ground division of Enroll America, which bills itself as a “nonpartisan 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to maximize the number of uninsured Americans who enroll in health coverage made available by the Affordable Care Act.” These Obamacare evangelists are very serious about the “nonpartisan” nature of their business. Nearly every Enroll America staffer I speak to emphasizes it, often repeatedly. And while it might strain credulity that an organization is nonpartisan which seeks to make sure people are Obamacared for by setting $100 million fundraising goals for itself, and conducting $5 million ad campaigns, and targeting 10 different states, 9 of which are coincidentally run by Republican governors, I choose to take them at their word.

After all, Enroll America boasts all manner of nonpartisan credentials. Most of its staffers seem to have worked in the nonpartisan Obama presidential campaigns of 2008 or 2012, often both.

It’s not going to end well for those two if they keep it up.

I don’t get it, if this law of the land is the “bees knees” why is there such an unprecedented hard sell. Is there a singlr case of the government ever selling any other law like this?

- Check now with your own bank now!

Banks are reporting on Tuesday December 3rd, 2013 that Direct Deposits of your Social Security payments for December 2013 are not being received from the US Treasury.

As of 10am EST banks are receiving huge amounts of telephone calls and internet site inquiries because their bank accounts are not receiving their regular Social Security Direct Deposit amount credited to their bank account.

- Caution - Obama has warned that US citizens may not receive their SS payments.

Obama and his incompetent thugs cannot set up and run a website after spending over six hundred million ($600,000,000) dollars to the relatives and friends of Michelle Obama and Valerie Jarrett to set up a website.

NEVER LET A CRISIS GO TO WASTE - Rahm Emanuel - Obama’s former White House Chief of Staff

Where is the money golfer?

Great line:
“the fight to guarantee that every American has the right to buy overpriced health insurance on a glitchy website, under threat of punitive tax penalties.”
