Obama: We’re Investigating My Own Obliviousness On Obamacare Website…

Weasel Zippers
 
“Obviously my most recent concern has been that my website’s not working,” Obama said. “We’re evaluating why it is exactly that I didn’t know soon enough that it wasn’t going to work the way it needed to. But my priority now has been to just make sure that it works.”

Obamacare wins most improved healthcare plan for the month of November

Sebelius Posts “Tips” On Signing Up For Obamacare On Far-Left Blog Huffington Post…   

Tattering the Safety Net   "Here is irony: the people who talk the most about the need for a social safety net (including the president himself!) are cheerleaders for a health reform that is going to shred it.
"How is that happening? By means of the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare)."

Still More ObamaCare Lies   ... "In speech after speech these days, Obama tries to shift blame for the ongoing ObamaCare debacles onto the backs of Republicans.
"In late November, for example, Obama complained that "instead of rooting for failure, or refighting old battles, Republicans in Congress need to work with us to improve those things about the Affordable Care Act that aren't working as well as they should."
"Obama's attempt to escape responsibility for the failure of his signature domestic achievement isn't surprising. But in this case, he's falsifying the record." ...  Via Lucianne

Common Core “compensation” mathematics a metaphor for Obamacare

Legal Insurrection
Common Core Compensation
 
"Compensation means how much you get paid, right? Or payment for a loss? Or any of the other common usages, right?
"Reader Bronwyn was not happy when she learned that in Common Core mathematics, compensation means encouraging students to guess the wrong but easier answer, then teaching them how to compensate for the wrong answer to get to the right result:
My 4th grade daughter attends a Christian school here in Orange Co., Ca.
I do not like their choice in a common core math book at all, but I have been particularly amused by the use of the term “compensation.”
The teachers actually had to send home an email because none of the parents had any idea what the term meant. I attached a copy of the definition in the book because it just seems so fitting during this Obama Administration.
“compensation: you choose numbers close to the numbers in the problem to make the computation easier and then adjust the answer for the numbers chosen.”
All this under the lesson- Using mental math to multiply. This must be Obama’s math!
Here we parents thought it was how we got paid?
"Here’s the question posed to the students to which the featured image was the answer:"

This may make it all clear:

Just how bad are things going in America under Obama?

Rick Moran   "Things are so bad that one candidate for governor in Georgia, Jason Carter, is banking on people being nostalgic for the good old days when his grandfather Jimmy was president."  Politico:
hope n change

So, how about those talks with Iran?

 
"Mark Steyn’s new column is a must read…"
In Geneva, the participants came to the talks with different goals: The Americans and Europeans wanted an agreement; the Iranians wanted nukes. Each party got what it came for. Before the deal, the mullahs’ existing facilities were said to be within four to seven weeks of nuclear “breakout”; under the new constraints, they’ll be eight to nine weeks from breakout. In return, they get formal international recognition of their enrichment program, and the gutting of sanctions — and everything they already have is, as they say over at Obamacare, grandfathered in.
DEBKAfile; Enough enriched uranium in Iran for 4 nuclear weapons. N-Bomb awaits Saudis in Pakistan  "Saudi King Abdullah and Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu were not won over by President Barack Obama's pledges in personal phone calls to the two Middle East leaders last week."

The US- provided nuclear umbrella - hated for so long by Obama's "pacifist" allies on the left - has been removed. Now we will see how dangerous this world will become because of those voters with the "COEXIST" and "Obama" bumper stickers on their cars.
Political Cartoons by Jerry Holbert
 
Read this and tell me if Obama and the US are respected in Pakistan:  The Iranian nation stood its ground in front of the U.S., so America retreated.  "What Imran Khan said about the U.S., that it first glowers, but then retreats if you stand your ground, has proved to be 100 percent accurate. The Iranian nation stood its ground in front of the U.S., so America retreated. The U.S. knew that if an understanding were not reached then Israel’s security would be endangered."

Arab News has a much different perspective on US-Iran: "But the game is not over yet. Israel’s influence in the US Congress is still immense, and its Congressional allies are already talking about heaping more sanctions on Iran (in order to kill the deal, though they don’t admit that).
"President Obama could veto those new sanctions, of course, but he will find it a lot harder to get Congress to revoke the existing sanctions if the final deal is done six months from now. That’s why Iran gets so little relief from sanctions now in return for its concessions: Obama needs more time to work on Congress. But Israel may still win this tug-of-war."

: Iran Deal and Munich: A Fair Comparison?  "Is he right? There are those who will claim it is impossible to compare any event with one that is associated with the Holocaust and still win an argument. But whether you think the deal is as bad as Stephens thinks or whether the price of a mistake with Iran is as costly as the West’s miscalculations about Hitler, the real answer depends on whether Iran betrays Obama."

Did you imagine ever seeing a cartoon like this?
 
Iranian Centrifuge Advances   "Iran will be able to significantly diminish its breakout timing within the constraints of the interim agreement." 
Which is in disagreement with the Arab News piece above.

Obama Refers to Tea Party Members as 'Tea-baggers'

Big Government  ... "Ritter went on to accuse the President of making fun of "tea-baggers” and blamed White House Press Secretary Jay Carney for ridiculing Sarah Palin, noting that it was “beneath the dignity of the White House” to engage in this kind of political targeting. Obama defended himself, writing, “I... appreciate your concern about the toxic political environment right now. I do have to challenge you, though, on the notion that any citizen that disagrees with me has been 'targeted and ridiculed' or that I have 'made fun' of tea-baggers.”
