Barack Obama being clear that his team messed up Obamacare made it hard for liberal PBS NewsHour pundit Mark Shields to try Democrat Happy Talk.
Instead, Shields joined the liberal gloomfest: “If this goes down, if the Obama -- if health care, the Affordable Care Act is deemed a failure, this is the end -- I really mean it -- of liberal government.” He even acknowledged Obama lied about Keeping Your Plan:
MARK SHIELDS: That is -- wasn't a true statement. And you're driven to one of two conclusions. Either the president was almost -- almost negligently uncurious in not asking about what the answer was, or he made the choice to trade his considerable reputation and record of integrity for short-term political gain. That's why they had to come and that's why there was such consternation in the ranks.
JUDY WOODRUFF: How do you explain it, David, what happened, with the president acknowledging yesterday that he wasn't on top of it?
DAVID BROOKS: Yes, I think it is politics. They knew that they -- getting this thing passed -- we were there -- it was hard. And so they were pulling out every political stop in the book. And a lot of those political stops have made it harder now. 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.
As a result, the whole implementation got pushed back, and that's part of the reason the Web site is such a mess. And then they made this political calculation. Then they made the -- that they weren't going to tell you there will be losers here. And they made the political calculation....

Indeed. As Neil Young (I think) said, “Rust never sleeps.”
“Besides, the collectivists run the schools and universities.”

You left out their other key to taking control of America and making it into the USSA.
In addition to owning education, K thru grad school), the Marxist also own the MAIN STREAM MEDIA.
May we have this in writing?
If our side were guilty of a deception even just one third as monumental as treacherous as Obamacare, do any if us believe even for one microsecond that wed get even a scintilla a of political mercy from them?
FIGURATIVELY:
BURN THE HUTS, THROW THE SQUEELING KIDS DOWN THE WELL, STAMP ON THE THROATS OF THEIR RASPING ELDERS...
sorry, but that us EXACLTY what they would do to us and then they’d have a sandwich and play video games.
Feel free to pass it around.
Great post.

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
I’m sure they are on it.
“Besides, the collectivists run the schools and universities.”
I was just thinking that the other day when someone wrote Obama at one time was pushing for government sponsored daycare. then they could brainwash your child from about the age of three to twenty two.
Lenny Bruce did a hilarious bit about that.
I knew there was a routine, but didn’t know it was Lenny.
“They are rooting for failure. I mean, it’s so transparent, and so obvious, whether it’s Darrell Issa, whether it’s Reince Priebus, the chairman. They’re just cheering for failure. “
did they root for stalin to fail?
Bttt
Ahh, but it really is possibly ending.
Think about it:
Reagan - shrinks Government like crazy, people love him
Bush1 - breaks his promise, grows it a bit (he gets booted)
Clinton - 2 years in, the people say “F* this” leading to “the era of Big Government is over”
Bush2 - a progressive in our mist, and people turn to Dems trying to get away from it
Obama - 2 years in, people again say “F* this” once more but are unsuccessful this time around as Dems do everything possible to try and hold onto their dream.
Their problem holding onto it much longer though?
...Unions are losing membership everywhere (meaning less cash & power)
...Dem cities are going bankrupt everywhere
...Governments everywhere are turning over traditionally Government-Responsibilities to private, for-profit companies (meaning fewer Government employees)
...People are fed up with the Teachers Union stronghold on education
...Climate Change is being exposed as a fraud, so they don’t even have that to fall back on
...the Mid-West is waking up to the destructive Dem policies, testing the waters with Republicans at a high rate (similar to what the South in the ‘90s.)
I really do see this as a turning point in the country. prior to the 90s, Dems flat dominated across the country never allowing Repubs to take much control of the House/Senate. Now we are in a position where it looks like the exact opposite can be true for the foreseeable future (even die-hard Libs are saying Dems taking control of the House again anytime in the next 10 years or more might be a pipe-dream. Dems end up losing the Mid-West and the Senate could quite possibly be the same way for years and years to come)
And the best part of it is the fact that Libertarians are stealing away the Youth Vote from the Dems, so a Libertarian/TEA-Party joint push could completely dominate the Republican Policies over this time-frame (RINOs know this oh too well, hence the fear of the TEA-Party rising)
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.
