Juan Williams On Obama Meeting: White House In "Full Fight Mode"
Real Clear Politics ^ | Posted on November 21, 2013 | Real Clear Politics Video

Posted on 11/22/2013 12:32:10 PM PST by Kenny

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.

<snip>

. 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.

Actually, their method of simply lying and using language to cover up crimes and assaults on Liberty and vast money grabs from the populace have been working pretty well so far. They certainly DO seem to "get" what it takes to destroy this country while we all sleep. Their polls numbers may dip here and there, but the true goal, Saul Alinsky's dream of the destruction of the US as a SuperPower, is running along quite nicely.

Juan uses “Affordable Care Act”.

How many times in the last, say, 18 months leading up to this past week or two did he use the term Obamacare?

So obamaboy is in fight mode against us

Mitch wants to punch us in the nose

I watched an interview show at the WSJ website that said big business is willing yo join up w/ obama to fight against the tea party.

So, I guess our message is starting to work!

Renewals? How can you renew something that does not exist any more? If insurers had framed it that way, it would be as much a lie as “you can keep your plan and doctor”.

Sounds to me like Juan’s hearing isn’t so good any more. I believe that was the “white house is in full flight mode” or may “full fright mode”.

Note the hit on Clinton-----Boobamba and his turds are frustrated b/c O/Care is being tagged as a debacle......but sap-happy liberals like Juan Williams parroted the lie they were told, that O/Care has done some good........b/c Boobamba told them Bill Clinton couldn't even get a vote on health care reform.

Another bald-faced lie....Hillary's misguided reform was knocked down by a court of law b/c she formulated the healthplan in secret.

(that was when we obviously had laws that were enforced).

Well, then maybe they shouldn't have put it in the law, dumbass. This is incredible. So the White House is in "full fight mode", is it? They need to be swatted, hard. Who the hell do they think they're working for?

Meanwhile the GOP is in turtle-up-in-the-fetal-position mode.

The problem is the substance -- premiums way up and benefits down. Doesn't matter what you call it.

To paraphrase, "a big pile of dog crap, by any other name, would still stink to high heaven."

"Conservatives had better get in fight mode themselves or we will lose this battle as well."

Establishment conservatives have neither the will nor the desire to stand up to Obama's transformation of America.

contribution = taxes

fair share = pay more taxes

bipartisan = surrender to socialists

affirmative action = racism

union members = taxpaer money used as campaign contributions.

security = elimination of 4th and 5th amendment.

conmmon sense regulation = slavery

Or, perhaps even, FLIGHT mode.

When does the Obama melt down begin? Maybe why the photographers have limited access?

Did Juan crawl to kiss Obama’s feet, or just bow, then kneel?

How are you going to get "a message" that makes people accept that all their expendable income will now be spent on health insurance that is too expensive to use?

There is not a message that makes that palatable.

Thanks Juan, We have now been warned. The rule changes in the SENATE the Obamacare Fight etc... we need to be ready for anything and everything. We know they will not cave on these domestic issues—we must be ready to take to the street if we must! They will not give in—They will use any tactics they can think of even selective assassinations (Accidents) and rumor poison (Mitt paid no taxes) to win their way. We must be ready—like the Minute Men of old to wage war for the soul of America.
