Apparently other events (big wine country meetup presumably) have knocked the Nutpick-apalooza off the usual time schedule although I will delete this if it appears. Yeah that's a promise, not even a threat. So for those who don't have anything else to do in their lives what with the Cheeto stains and the mold building up in the basement, here's an ad hoc attempt at what our fearless leader does so much better.
And much to the dismay of Obama’s advocates in the media, the White House knew all along that their line about keeping your beloved private insurance was . . . well, it was less than honest. (Can I call him a liar without getting audited?) He also knew that tens of millions would remain without coverage, and that the system will be exploited and underfunded within a few short years of implementation. In fact, he is counting on it.
The White House is already taking swings at those “greedy” and “evil” private insurers who are dumping people’s coverage; seemingly glossing over the fact that his law’s mandates are the motivating factor behind the actions of the insurers. The episodic failure of America’s dabbling in socialistic medicine will not be portrayed – if left up to this White House and their advocates in the press – as vindication of the program’s critics.
What NBC, disillusioned Democrat staffers, ideological college students, and coastal liberals failed to acknowledge was the one truth most other Americans recognized about Obama from day one:
Every sentence that he reads from the official White House teleprompter ends not with a period, but with an asterisk. Unfortunately, while critics of Obamacare have been trying to yell out the fine print for five years, most of the megaphones, microphones and cameras in this country were too focused on Obama’s loophole rhetoric.
So, welcome back to reality, NBC. (Even if your visit is temporary.)
So does asterisks mean that ACA is on steroids/PEDs -Geez I sure hope so, even if PBO doesn't get into the Hall of Fame on a vote of....white male pundits
more of the usual RWNJ blather below, only slightly more competent than the illustration used above
We have a snake oil sales man for a president.
Correction, we have a hateful, corrupt, devious, cold, indifferent person impersonating a President.
Please, one of you blind foolish Obama supporters, tell specifically what good, positive events have occurred while this POS has been in the WH!
Wait let me put my red-tipped white cane down, let's see: Osama dead, marriage equity supported, quick government support and action for natural disasters, and no complete collapse of the US and Global economic system.
"But Jay Carney says it’s OK. Coverage that is being discontinued, he said, was insufficient to begin with."
For a minute there I thought I was empowered to make that personal decision. Evidently Obama & Co. know better than me about what I want.
Do you bleepin' LEFTISTS see how powerful of an example of the totalitarianism streak within your ideology this is? DO YOU?
For folks with lower information thresholds, you might not know what to do especially if you deliberately chose insufficient coverage and refuse to acknowledge a better deal was out there, or is Fred Thompson the authority on all these decisions.
Does anyone have any doubt the objective is to get us into a one payer system..all of America on government ran health care..except the elite and federal government employees! This is for complete control of Americans. The guy in the white house IS a puppet. Those behind the curtain we are not aware who they really are, but there objective is one direction ONLY. To bring this country down, we will have a One World Government, a One World Currency and a One World Religion..Americans..those who keep the brainwashed rhetoric..we have been punked!
And Ashton Kutcher is indeed a flying Monkey, especially after cheating on Demi Moore.
Do any of you realize how pathetic and foolish you sound? "Ooh! President Obama lied to me and now I'm losing my health insurance and I'll have to buy a much more expensive health insurance."
Why is any of this a surprise? Presidents lie. It is what they do. America has a long history of presidents who told huge lies. President Obama may be the greatest liar of all. He was a WORLD CLASS LIAR before he was elected. So I ask again, why are you surprised? What did you expect?
I expect and demand MUCH more than this. Vote every lying dem and rino rep out in 2014. To settle and accept this a business as usual is exactly what the destructive democrats want.
Nope, world class was WMDs in Iraq
I will not comply! I will pay cash for my health care and it will still be cheaper! If I absolutely need it for something major, then MAYBE, I would sign up but the IRS in charge of it, no way!.
which he will make even harder he is trying to pass a law that no non-profit or charity hospital treat people with no insurance
Why would we want an America based on Trauma Centers and Emergency Rooms - it only supports inflated costs for ambulance and first responder services rather than preventative care.
I am so disgusted with that Carney Weasel dismissing the plight of us Individual Plan customers I could SPIT. OK, fine- we're only 5% of the population. But that's 15 million people he's happily screwing! I for one will NOT buy an ObamaCare plan NO MATTER WHAT.
One fine day in January, 2017, when conservatives own the Congress and the WH there will be a major reckoning... and WE will NOT STOP with just repealing ObamaCare. EPA, USDA, DOL, DoEd, DoEn, IRS (replaced by FairTax), HUD, FHA, Fannie, Freddie, DOT, GSA, TSA, FEMA must ALL disappear, along with their overpaid, fanatical leftie bureaucrats. Everything NOT in Article 1 Section 8 must GO.
Just IMAGINE what a great JOBS program THAT will be!!!!
See Katrina and Somalia - all ruled by Posse Comitatus and the DoD
It's never easy to extract evil from a society, much like extracting cancer from a body. But it is work that has to be done, otherwise our country is done.
Sometimes the scalpel takes a back seat to the chainsaw

So it's Rick Perry behind that Hockey Mask
Dems/Libs believe in their hearts that the price of something is the same as cost. All that is required to make their vision the "truth" is to force companies to lose money by charging the same amount for less. They can force the price to be lower than the cost but they cannot force companies to stay in business losing money. Shortages will move the entire industry into a state run medical mess. The State will have to force doctors and nurses etc work and taxpayers will get all the new taxes to pay for the force applied and to pay the layer upon layer of gov employees.
**They can force the price to be lower than the cost but they cannot force companies to stay in business losing money. **And this has been the case in every country that has suffered under the yoke of communism, with every life necessity from electricity and toilet paper to basic nutrients.
Hmmm wage and price controls, Zombie Nixon and the hope that government will really prop up failing companies on the basis of scale.
In the terrible Private sector, what Obama is doing is called the "Bate and Switch Game". Simply put you advertise a cheap popular item, but stock a higher priced one instead, attempting force the customer to buy the higher price one. It's illegal in almost all states, it violates the truth in advertising laws. However apparently it doesn't violate any laws in Washington, maybe it should.
Thse denizens of Washington exempt themselves from the laws they impose on the citizens of this nation.
So who solves this, the FTC or state exchanges
You can forget the notion that MSM has finally learned obummer is a pathological liar. You can measure the time with a stopwatch until they'll all be touting the single payer option and degrading the insurance companies that dropped customers. They'll soon be touting what amounts to the takeover of the entire health industry by socialists in the democratic party.
Gosh a system with human health and care standards not based on crisis but on preventative care - happy Danes!
Hi Michael, Enjoyed your article. ". . .It's not an inaccuracy, it's a Glitch." That was pretty funny, as intended! However, er, what's happened is not a Glitch, it's a SNAFU. Here's an interesting insight on glitch: One computer engineer wrote on M-W Dictionary's site the following, "It is my understanding that the word Glitch originated in MAD magazine in the 70's as the sound that a shoe made when it stepped in doggy dodo. The term was then co-oped by computer types like me to describe a problem with computer hardware or software." Actually, the M-R definition of glitch is: an unexpected and usually minor problem with a machine or device. I repeat, a MINOR problem. That prompted me to look for acronym for "glitch" and up popped SNAFU. Here's definition of SNAFU: 1) noun: a confused or chaotic state; a mess, 2) adjective: in utter confusion or chaos, 3) verb: throw (a situation) into chaos 4) see WWII Military Reference for best definition. Why not be the first media outlet to correct the Administration's pundits efforts to minimize a SNAFU by calling it a GLITCH? Let's see SNAFU in some major headlines that other media outlets will no doubt pick up. As has been stated before, many great men are known affectionately by their nicknames: John Wayne (Duke), Ronald Reagan (Dutch), Barack Obama (Glitch).
Ii's a Kludge, Pilgrim! Senator McConnell, tear down that FUBAR filibuster!
