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.
