First it was the debacle of HealthCare.gov, the botched Obamacare website, that dominated coverage of the Affordable Care Act’s rollout. The new insurance exchanges were a disaster — technical malfunctions, frozen screens, interminable wait times, error messages, lost data. President Obama had promised that the new system would make getting health insurance as easy as shopping online — “the same way you’d shop for a plane ticket on Kayak or a TV on Amazon,” he’d said.
Last week that train wreck grew huger.
Hundreds of thousands of Americans are being notified that their health insurance policies will be canceled, notwithstanding Obama’s endlessly repeated assurance that “if you like your health care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health care plan.” But that claim, voters now realize, was also untrue.
Which shoe will be the next to drop? What other Obamacare promise will voters discover was bogus? Perhaps it will be the claim that the president’s health law won’t add “one dime to our deficits — either now or in the future.” Or the rosy pledge that it will lower premiums for the typical family by $2,500 per year. Or the vaunted assurance that it will “bend the cost curve downward.” Or all of them.

It’s just a matter of time before hackers gain access to 50,000 or so social security numbers and other personal information. The news will be that Obamacare is completely insecure, and no one will ever go near the site.
On Fox Business Network’s “Cavuto” on Wednesday, computer programmer and founder of McAfee, Inc. John McAfee said the online component of Obamacare “is a hacker’s wet dream” that will cause “the loss of income for the millions of Americans who are going to lose their identities.” For starters, McAfee said the way it is set up makes it possible for fake websites be set up to fool people to think they’re signing up for Obamacare.
“It’s seriously bad,” McAfee said. “Somebody made a grave error, not in designing the program but, in simply implementing the web aspect of it. I mean, for example, anybody can put up a web page and claim to be a broker for this system. There is no central place where I can go and say, ‘OK, here are all the legitimate brokers, the examiners for all of the states and pick and choose one.’” “Instead, any hacker can put a website up, make it look extremely competitive, and because of the nature of the system — and this is health care, after all — they can ask you the most intimate questions, and you’re freely going to answer them,” he continued. “What’s my Social Security number? My birth date? What are my health issues?” According to McAfee, there’s not a quick fix — and as long as it set up this way, it could be a playground for computer hackers.
“Here’s the problem: It’s not something software can solve,” McAfee continued. “I mean, what idiot put this system out there and did not create a central depository? There should be one website, run by the government, you go to that website and then you can click on all of the agencies. This is insane. So, I will predict that the loss of income for the millions of Americans who are going to lose their identities — I mean, you can imagine some retired lady in Utah, who has $75,000 dollars in the bank, saving her whole life, having it wiped out in one day because she signed up for Obamacare. And believe me, this is going to happen millions of times. This is a hacker’s wet dream. I mean I cannot believe that they did this.”
Ha....and I thought that hackers were using all the various combinations of Obama’s social security number / names / birth dates / birth places / residences/ and other spurious information to create thousands more applications.....snicker.
A corrupt bunch of Third World tinhorns grabbing everything they can get their hands on.

Uncle Barry's Billion Dollar Extortion Scheme ObamaTerror is Coming to You, Too
Townhall.com ^ | October 22, 2013 | John Ransom / FR Posted by Kaslin
.......who believes that Barack Obama and his administration don’t use their regulatory power to punish enemies and reward their friends? .
Obama’s administration is not much different than other in this regard, except varying in the intensity of their pursuit and the volume of regulations they have at their disposal.
Obama has taken the infamous "spoils system" to new extremes, extremes that allow them to criminalize any behavior they wish. And through selective prosecutions (by an AG who works for the Chi/mob), they punish enemies and warn friends.
The Party that campaigned “My body, my Choice” has turned over the regulatory power over everyone’s body to the IRS, and now shares, under (1) Obamcare, (2) Dodd-Frank, (3) Sarbanes-Oxley, (4) the Clean Air Act, (5) the Community Reinvestment Act, and, (6) the Patriot Act, along with others, much of the punitive power that the Oprichniki had under Ivan the Terrible, if just a bit less terrible.
.... An Obama critic has been under relentless attack under threat of civil and criminal penalties for loans made and then sold to the federal government under the government’s sub-prime lending schemes ......also known as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. (more on the Obama land grab below). --snip--

FOURTEEN TRILLION DOLLARS Behind The Real Size of the Bailout; A guide to the abbreviations, acronyms, and obscure programs that make up the $14 trillion federal bailout of Wall Street

The price tag for the Wall Street bailout is often put at $700 billion—the size of the Troubled Assets Relief Program. But TARP is just the best known program in an array of more than 30 overseen by Treasury Department and Federal Reserve that have paid out or put aside money to bail out financial firms and inject money into the markets.
To get a sense of the size of the real $14 trillion bailout, see our chart at web site. Below, a guide to the pieces of the puzzle:
Treasury Department bailout programs
Remember Obama had tight control of Treasury; Obama calculatedly placed his then-COS Rahm Emanuel in a dual role.......in the WH and at Treasury. Obama had a stranglehold on Treasury via COS Rahm Emanuel's dual role
STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE Soon as they occupied the WH, Obama and the Chi/cons (a) took control of the US Census; (b) Obama placed his COS Rahm Emanuel in control of the US Dept of the Treasury (the IRS). Read on.
==========================================
THE SMOKING GUN---WSJ REPORT--On Jan 20, 2009 Timothy Geithner was appointed Obama's Secy of the Treasury. But within three weeks, the Obama White House tightened its grip on Treasury. Obama put his COS, Rahm Emanuel, in charge of Treasury---Rahm Emanuel's dual role was an unusual move.
When he got to Treasury, WH COS Rahm Emanuel was so involved in the inner workings that the phrase "Rahm wants it" had become an unofficial mantra among subservient govt staffers, prostrate in obeisance, scurrying to accede to Rahm's wishes, according to Treasury government officials.

OBAMA'S LAND GRAB--- Obama says it’s time to ‘turn the page’ on Fannie and Freddie MarketWatch ^ | 7/24/13 | MarketWatch / FR Posted by illiac
Obama's July speech on the U.S. economy, spelled out the beginning of the end for federally controlled mortgage buyers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. “We’ll work with both parties to turn the page on Fannie and Freddie, and build a housing finance system that’s rock-solid for future generations,” Obama said, according to a copy of his prepared remarks.
True, both the House and the Senate are working on legislation to get rid of the giants, which were took under control by the federal government in 2008.
The House Financial Services Committee approved a bill on Tuesday that would get rid of the two firms in five years, to be replaced by a National Mortgage Market Utility to help securitize mortgages.(Excerpt) Read more at blogs.marketwatch.com ...
WHAT OBAMA OMMITTED FROM HIS SPEECH The Wall Street Journal on page A15 carried an article entitled “Treasury’s Fannie Mae Heist”.
Here is the first paragraph: “The Federal govt is seizing the substantial profits of the govt-chartered mortgage firms, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, taking for itself the property and potential gains of private investors the govt induced to help prop up these companies. This conduct is intolerable.” A scathing article follows.
......and have a lot of fun with his supposed "health issues".........more snicker.
“No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar.”
Abraham Lincoln
The above question has been answered. Serious breach of privacy on the disastrous HealthCare.gov website has occurred as many predicted was inevitable. It's just the beginning of serious security flaws that will surface.

PASS THE WORD When word gets around that irate cancelled policyholders see the O/Care debacle as the kissin' cousin of the 1992 House check-kiting scandal, Capitol Hill will be awash in pols' flop sweat will. Back then, despite the cover-up, 11 of the 22 kiters---even in safe seats--were tossed out by angry constituents (cackle).

Democrats Scramble to Distance Themselves from Obamacare (RATS want a refund)
Breitbart | 10/30/13 | Wynton Hall / FR Posted November 01 by Libloather
**SNIP** Other Democrats now say they agree with Republicans that a delay of the individual mandate may be the only way to salvage the disaster and save face. "I think the administration is going to have to look at it [delay of the individual mandate]. and I'd encourage them to do so," said Rep. Gene Green (D-TX).
Five Democrats have now asked for the Obama Administration to seek a refund from the contractors responsible for the Obamacare website fiasco.
GUILTY CONSCIENCES FROM VOTING FOR O/CARE? Reps. Ron Barber (D-AZ), William Enyart (D-IL), Pete Gallego (D-TX), Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ), and Filemon Vela (D-TX) wrote a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder urging the reimbursement effort.
=========================================
ACTION NOW.....printout a summary of the pro-policyholder Republican amendment, with a list of EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT who voted against protecting policyholders, and use it in upcoming elections....in letters to the editor, ads, fliers, bumper stickers, lawn signs, etc..........
What was that song-— “Lying Ass Bitch” Describes 0bama very well. Obama is that gay gift from Kenya that keeps on giving.
Obama used to be more of an innocent with far less lying back in 2008. He + Axelrod used underhand tactics to get rid of Hillary. But I saw minimal lying. Just a lot of vague hope and change BS + I am black so can heal America’s racial divisions. This poppycock got him elected.
Now five years later his lies come full speed ahead and the evil distortion of what Ted Cruz and Republicans are saying. Obama, Harry Reid and other Democrats are confident in their lies because the media will never call them on them /////// while they distribute them far and wide to the lo-info voters
the bullsh!t piles up so fast you needs wings to stay above it...
I’ll bet Barry laughs his ass off at how easy it is to take down this country.
That claim is totally accurate. A trillion dollars is definitely not "one dime".
Obama is using the data to send voter registration cards. Its even better than the motor-voter cultivation of voter fraud.
I’ll bet Barry laughs his ass off at how easy it is to take down this country.
Bill Clinton is now worth $80 million. Al Gore is doing a lot better than his old boss, he’s up to $300 million. It’s all for the common man’s good.
