A bit of history as a prelude to this post: October 30, 2012: Obama cant get re-elected with an unemployment rate above 8%. November 4, 2012: 2 days before election--SHAZAMM!!! Books are cooked, unemployment rate at 7.9% (ignoring, of course, those who gave up looking for jobs). March 30, 2014: Obama woefully in danger of not meeting targeted goal of 7 million subscribers by March 31st. 2014 deadline-- another postponement of the deadline would give anti-Obamacare elements endless fodder for Obamacares further de-legitimization. Now, enter March 31, 2014--Zero Hour to deadline: SHAZAM!! Five million people miraculously sign their lives away on the Obamacare website, two million more flood the phone lines. Does anybody REALLY believe this crap? First--OK-- Ill give it that yesterday was the deadline--but even if their numbers are true, it doesnt really portray that people so loved Obamacare that they just couldnt wait to sign up. It was either sign up, or get fined. It was coercion, at best. Second: Obamacare was sold (read: shoved down our throats in the dead of night) as something that was needed because there were, at the time, 30,000,000 uninsured Americans out of a nation of 310,000,000 (9.6%). Which necessarily meant that nine out of ten people were inconvenienced at best and/or lost THEIR coverage at worst so that one out of the ten who werent covered in the first place could supposedly get covered. The last estimates placed over 40,000,000 people who are currently uninsured; with 5-6 million of those uninsured as a DIRECT RESULT of their policies being cancelled under Obamacare. (As a matter of fact, companies offering insurance to males that didnt cover pregnancy were fined over 2000 percent more per employee than companies who chose not to offer any insurance plan at all--but I digress). SO-- if their numbers are correct (and again--a bit too convenient, if you ask me, to be correct) we havent even gotten back to Square One in terms of Obamacares stated goals (to insure the 30,000,000 uninsured). Yet, despite this, despite the perpetually-broken $600 MILLION website paid for with our taxpayer dollars, and most importantly, despite the broken promises made to the American people on so many fronts that you need a scorecard to keep track of them, his royal eminence, wannabe emperor and Grand Poobah of his own reality, Barack Hussein Obama (pbuh) is going to strut to the podium this afternoon and crow to the great unwashed masses that hes single-handedly saved the nations health care system, and there will be more of that where it came from. And, perhaps most pitiful of all, his dutiful. star-struck, sycophantic stenographer-media sheep, those supposedly charged with being a check and balance against our government, will happily and dutifully re-bleat his maniacal, delusional rantings.
