With the website not working and with millions of people being kicked off their health care plans, our President, confronted with a crisis in governance does what? Of course…..he campaigns! He even told the New York Times on Monday, “I’ve got one more campaign in me.”
How is this campaigning working out? Charles Krauthammer, a political journalist, notes, “This odd belief that rhetoric trumps reality leads to strange scenes. Like the ShamWow pitch, Obama’s nationally televised address trying to resell Obamacare. Don’t worry about the website, he said. I’ll get it fixed. And besides, there are alternatives, such as an 800 number that he promptly gave out. Twice.” But it turns out these “navigators” take the info and has to enter it into the same nonfunctioning website!
Also, remember all his promises going back to June 2009, “If you like your health-care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health-care plan. Period.” Just last week, he simply denied reality and said that he hasn’t changed his message from when he promised in June 2009. Then this week he told us that he should have been clearer about what he meant.

It is obvious to all reasonable and intelligent people that the President is denying the deception and figures anyway; you will be getting a better health care policy even if you don’t need everything in it. After all, somebody has to pay for the bloated and over- valued healthcare plan that the government thinks that you should have! After all, who knows better than your government what kind of a health plan you should have for yourself and your family?
