JON SCOTT: You were at the White House. You want to tell us about that?
JUAN WILLIAMS: What happened was the White House invited a small group of journalists over to talk with the president. I can't tell you what the president said, that is off the record. But I met with other senior officials at the White House and I can tell you they are in full fight mode over the Affordable Care Act right now. What you hear from these senior officials is, you know, they're concerned about what happened with insurance companies.
They wish the insurance companies hadn't sent out the cancellation notices and if they had, that they simply call them renewals. And, they feel right now, as if, you know, they had a major systems failure, major management failure and they're trying to get back on track. Their big concern right now is with people who had those cancellation notices and making sure those people feel they have been taken care of. They feel they have to turn that around, as the first step in trying to repair the damage that's been done to this president.
SCOTT: Is it fair to say they're also trying to change the messaging here.
WILLIAMS: Absolutely. I mean, you know there is frustration. I think that's clear from everybody who I was talking to this morning at the White House, is frustration.

. They're frustrated with the way that this has been portrayed in the media because they say it has done some good. Bill Clinton couldn't even get a vote on proposed health care reform. 100 years people have been trying. This is hard work as one of them said.

They don't get it. They think the problem is the messaging.
The problem is the substance -- premiums way up and benefits down. Doesn't matter what you call it.
That is excellent.
O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation,
You have covered my head in the day of battle.
Do not grant, O Lord, the desires of the wicked;
Do not further his wicked scheme,
Lest they be exalted.
The Administration keeps trying to get the media to pick up this turd by the clean end and it just won’t happen. They can’t find a narrative that works. They are getting hammered by senators up for re-election that need a working narrative to take back home.
The administration has always been in full fight mode.
They wish the insurance companies didn’t send out the cancellation notices they were forced by law to cancel, and thinks they should have been called renewals....
George Orwell lives and writes for the White House?
“What you hear from these senior officials is, you know, they’re concerned about what happened with insurance companies. They wish the insurance companies hadn’t sent out the cancellation notices and if they had, that they simply call them renewals.”
Game plan: Blame Insurance Companies
Position 1: “Wish” for insurance companies not to do what Obamacare compels them to do.
Position 2: Call “cancellations” a “renewal.” Change “green” to “red” and change “illness” to “health.”
He’s an interchangeable mouthpiece,, works with all Clintons, Obamas, and foreigners as well.
Fixed it...:^)
They are worried about damage to THE FRICKING PRESIDENT?
hey wish the insurance companies hadn't sent out the cancellation notices and if they had, that they simply call them renewals.
“Note the hit on Clinton, no one is safe. This is what I keep trying to tell people, they ARE NOT going to put their tails between their legs and slink off. Conservatives had better get in fight mode themselves or we will lose this battle as well.”
Right. They’ve come so far on so many levels, (not just with Obamacare), that there’s no way they’ll stop now. I wouldn’t if I were them.
Yuuuup they are concerned and they feel your pain!
...and making sure those people feel they have been taken care of....
So CONCERNED they will work work to ensure you FEEL as if have been helped.
You know, when I get poked in the eye with a dirty finger, I want help to cleanse my eye and inspect for damage. Do not lie to me that the battery was an un-forseen tragety.
Then you're not a real journalist, Williams. You're a lickspittle who will sell his credibility for access, and not much better than a guy like Jay Carney.
You will not hear Juan call it Obamacare anymore. Nor will the rest of the Regime media.
Forget the subject matter. It’s corruption on its face when someone who is ostensibly a servant of the people, holds an off-the-record meeting with journalists whose job, theoretically, is to disseminate information.
I agree. Much as I hate to admit it, the Bohener strategy (before the O/Care debacle) was correct---everytime the Pubbies showed their faces---the Obama/turds attacked them. So laying low was a good recourse.
Now the political earth has shifted. After the O/care debacle....Pubbies were everywhere---sticking it to the Dems.
The "Punisher President" was livid---remember he was dedicated to destroying the Repub/Party. Instead his incompetence made the Dem numbers collapse into quicksand....he faces losing the Senate and the House.
That's why he demanded the nuclear option----to tempt the Pubbies into "overreaching."
What's next for Boobamba? Invoking the War Powers Act?
