Obamacare:The operative consensus today is: lies and fraud

Obama Promise Keeper

"The firestorm over President Obama's blanket false assurances on Obamacare is only going to intensify, as more groups discover they have lost either their coverage or their doctor thanks to the health insurance changes imposed on the country without a single Republican vote. One of the biggest, yet so far almost completely ignored, changes is the looting of Medicare to pay for Obamacare. Now, it is starting to hit home. Evan Gahr of the New York Daily News recounts a story that will soon become very common among America's senior citizens:"...

"CNN has been pondering what they call “a particularly tough few days at the White House.” “Four out of five Americans have little or no trust in their government to do anything right,” says chief political analyst Gloria Borger. “And now Obama probably feels the same way.” Our hearts go out to him, poor wee disillusioned thing."

"Obamacare is not a left–right issue; it’s a fraud issue."

The Week the Wheels Came off Obamacare  "Obamacare's numbers paint a bleak picture of broken promises and outright lies." ...  "Ignored in those dreary statistics is the fact that people are being dumped out of their current coverage and onto the nonfunctional exchanges faster than the exchanges can handle them. An estimated 1,500,000 have lost their coverage, up against those newly insured 40,000. The best guess is that seven or eight million more face the same fate."...

Remember Democrats taunting anti-Obamacare protestors with Pelosi's big gavel march past them? How many Democrats in this group can you name? How many seek re-election soon?

Kirsten Powers: “evangelical Christianity, which I held in particular contempt”


 
Kirsten Powers' Christianity Today article: Fox News' Highly Reluctant Jesus Follower   "Of all people surprised that I became an evangelical Christian, I'm the most surprised."
 
 
"After college I worked as an appointee in the Clinton administration from 1992 to 1998. The White House surrounded me with intellectual people who, if they had any deep faith in God, never expressed it. Later, when I moved to New York, where I worked in Democratic politics, my world became aggressively secular. Everyone I knew was politically left-leaning, and my group of friends was overwhelmingly atheist.
"I sometimes hear Christians talk about how terrible life must be for atheists. But our lives were not terrible. Life actually seemed pretty wonderful, filled with opportunity and good conversation and privilege. I know now that it was not as wonderful as it could have been. But you don't know what you don't know. How could I have missed something I didn't think existed?"

Security Violation Just the Tip of the Obamacare Iceberg

 
Heritage  "Obamacare is a deeply flawed law, and its flaws have become more apparent with each passing day. It’s not just that people’s personal data has become insecure due to government bungling—their financial security and the security of their deeply held beliefs are likewise at stake.
"The American people need relief from this inherently unworkable law."
