Why the Champ canÂ’t wave away the Obamacare scandal
2013-11-24
[NY Post] People are puzzled: Why would Barack Obama have lied about how wonderfully everything was going to go with ObamaCare when officials in his administration knew perfectly well that disaster was going to strike?
Puzzled? Some people are puzzled possibly, others however, not so much.
In one sense, the answer is simple: At the time, just before Oct. 1, Republicans were insisting ObamaCare be delayed or defunded. The president and his team weren’t going to give the enemy the satisfaction of agreeing — or the potent ammunition that would have come from a rueful admission the system wasn’t ready.
And yes, they do see anyone who disagrees with them as "the enemy".
Today, a bipartisan agreement to delay ObamaCare seems like it would have been a pretty good deal. It didnÂ’t look that way at all in the last two weeks of September.
A massive tax raise and government money grab just prior to an election is never seen as "a good deal" by a politician, regardless of the party.
But thereÂ’s a deeper reason he and his people lied: They did it because they could. They did it because nearly five years in the White House had given Obama and his team confidence they would not face the music and they could finesse the problems until they got fixed.
Yes, "they could" simply because the party of Urban America, Holder, and big Government have successfully destroyed the rule of law and the Congress of the people. Angry white man's law, polite rules and ethics of western society, they must go. The needs of the collective and the village are far more important. Think tribal community organizer and you'll gain a full appreciation. The Champ will indeed eventually "move away form the scandal" just like he has all the rest. The first American president of his kind cannot and will not fail, revisionist history will not permit it. As Oprah has opined, re-education is futile and all who oppose him must be led away to the gulags.

#3  Karma has a way of coming around and biting you. You don't achieve your aims, whatever they are, by duplicity, lying and subterfuge without paying a price down the road.

#2  Truly he does not care that it fails. He has hurt the middle class. That was his goal. The only people hurt from this are the people that were actually paying for insurance. Now the working class will not be covered and eventually dependent on the government for help. This is a win/win for him.
