The World’s Most Dangerous Community Organizer Just Extended His Failure

Well, well, well.  Irony blows doesn’t it?

We’ve heard The World’s Most Dangerous Community Organizer say repeatedly, “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.  If you like your health plan, you can keep your health plan.”

Sometimes he would be emphatic saying, “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.  Period.  If you like your health plan, you can keep your health plan.  Period.”

Finding trouble everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies has been the hallmark of this regime.

The Obamacare website has been a smoking ruin since its launch on October 1, 2013.

I can envision TWMDCO sitting in the Oval Office (or teeing it up on the greens at Ft. Belvoir) squirming over the hemorrhoid that his crowning domestic achievement has become. 

He said no one could be more frustrated with the Internet laughingstock the website has become than him.  Oh, I doubt that.

Fifty to 75 percent of the 14 million consumers who buy their insurance individually can expect to receive a “cancellation” letter or the equivalent over the next year because their existing policies don’t meet the standards mandated by the new health care law. One expert predicts that number could reach as high as 80 percent.   But TWMDCO knew that.

They’re being dumped.  So, no they can’t keep their plans.  Broken promise or lie; call it what you will.

Those who are getting dumped are supposed to go find new insurance on the exchange by December 15 in order to be insured on January 1, 2014.  But, you can’t do that because the “Healthcare.gov” website doesn’t work.

Over the weekend, the data hub run by Verizon’s Terremark, lost connectivity after workers tried to replace a broken networking component.

Today, it was announced that a six-week extension until March 31 has been granted to sign up for coverage to avoid new tax penalties.

The Congressional Budget Office estimates that 9 million people will sign up for Medicaid in 2014, compared with the 7 million expected to sign up for private insurance on the exchanges.  This is the Master Plan.

Son Of A Glitch

The Op-Ed section of The Wall Street Journal tells us today that, “the exchanges fiasco is revealing the larger truth that ObamaCare's claim to technocratic expertise was always a political con. It won over the New Yorker and made ObamaCare designer Peter Orszag a celebrity. But it was all a veneer for ObamaCare's real goal, which is to centralize political control over health care."

The White House pitched President Obama's Rose Garden event on Monday as a new transparency, but the event amounted to an infomercial, complete with a 1-800 number. Operators are standing by and "the product is good," the President said. He even encouraged Americans to bypass the website and apply for benefits over the phone or by mail.

It is delicious irony that the regime decided to launch the ObamaCare website in October.  Halloween brings with it the summoning of frightening mythical creatures in the gloom of night.  Had the website been launched in November it would simply have been referred to as a turkey.

Welcome to Sleepy Hollow.  People are spending endless hours trying to create an account.  Each time they are met with failure.  They’ve called the hotline and been met with failure.  

Enter the Headless Horseman—Barack Hussein Obama.  Indeed a creepy fellow.  Little can be more frightening than the specter of a headless man who rides aimlessly through the night in search of his own head.

The New Yorker’s Ryan Lizza offers this rejoinder for ObamaCare, “The ACA is the most important liberal project in decades. If it fails, it is a complete disaster for liberalism.”

The regime is guilty of putting the cart before the horse and now is pleading with Verizon to fix the hotline problem and a bevy of the “best and brightest” have been summoned to fix the computer software which is ten years old and filled with faulty codes.

The overwhelming obstacles that plague ObamaCare are beyond the pay grade of the techies.

Welcome to Sleepy Hollow.
