Rhetoric vs. reality; “Obama to campaign to ensure health law’s success”

Charles Krauthammer  "The Obamacare Web site doesn’t work. Hundreds of thousands of insured Americans are seeing their plans summarily terminated. Millions more face the same prospect next year. Confronted with a crisis of governance, how does President Obama respond?

"He campaigns."
 


"The president now is toxic. The thing is called Obamacare. There's no running away from it. It's got his name on it. You see the president, you think about the policy and you know it's a disaster. And the problem for the Democrats is, they are hostage to a bunch of geeks working right now late into the night trying to fix a system which is not just the glitches we talked about. The architecture, the underlying structure of it is wrong. "

The fix is in for a bad deal with Iran

Jennifer Rubin  "It won’t be long, I suspect, until President Obama delivers this line to the Israelis: “I am sorry that they are finding themselves in this situation based on assurances they got from me.” That was his health care “apology,” but it’s an apt phrasing for Iranian policy as well as we sit on the precipice of a deal the Israelis, members of Congress and the Saudis have blasted.
"The deal will include, according to news reports and knowledgeable onlookers, four points. Mark Dubowitz of the Foundation for  Defense of Democracies points to a news report in the Guardian listing the expected terms as follows:"....
"Nothing new here. They do this every year. But just imagine the outcry if Americans or Israelis were turning out in large numbers to chant "death to Iran." Today's fashionable multicultural relativism masks an actual racism that holds Muslims to lower standards than it does everyone else. I say let's hold everyone to the same standard, and condemn this genocidal bloodlust for what it is."
 
Yeah, this nation should be a great negotiating partner.

Is Obama dumping our ally Israel to side with our enemy Iran?

Political Cartoons by Robert Ariail
Arutz Sheva; Obama's Record Indicates He Won't Stop Iran  "In September 2009, Obama adviser and supporter and former National Security Adviser under President Jimmy Carter, Zbigniew Brzezinski (whom Obama has praised publicly), said that were Israel to launch a military strike at Iran, the U.S. should confront the Israeli planes and shoot them down."
At the time. Tunnel Dweller likened this position to that of the Vichy French, fighting their allies Britain and the US in support of their conqueror, Germany.

The Great Cave: Iran and the West to ink nuke deal  ..."All of this wouldn't matter if Israel could count on America to back their play. But as other countries in the Middle East have discovered, Barack Obama is a feckless ally and the US simply can't be trusted." 
....
... "The bottom line is that the Middle East is lining up and choosing sides. And the US is looking for an out on fulfilling its promise to prevent Iran from building a nuclear bomb." More.

Obama’s Betrayal of Israel and Arming of Iran  ..."Israel’s mistake was even bothering to listen to Obama and his cohorts. They should have known better. But they wanted to show the world that they were better than the tyrants; that they made every effort to avoid war and bloodshed. For their attempts, they are being rewarded with lies, deception and betrayal. They may be rewarded with war and death. In the end, God walks with Israel and I’ve got to tell her enemies, I wouldn’t want to be you guys. No way. ‘Vengeance is mine,’ sayeth the Lord."... 

 
Obama’s betrayal of Israel is stunning and completely predictable. It’s right on schedule along with the four horsemen of the Apocalypse. I don’t know how anyone could be surprised by this. Whispers are on the wind that a nuclear deal is within reach between the US and Iran, but ...
“ 'Iran gets everything that it wanted at this stage and it pays nothing,” Netanyahu said. He said the sanctions regime in place now is “why Iran is under severe pressure.”
"Netanyahu urged Kerry not to “rush to sign” but “to wait, to reconsider, to get a good deal.' ”   Via Lucianne

Legal Insurrection; On the cusp of a historic sell-out of Israel  "John Kerry has openly sided with the Palestinians on key final agreement points:  That Israel controlling any land beyond the 1949 Armistice line is “illegitimate” and land that eventually will be part of a Palestinian state, and that there must be not a single Israeli soldier left anywhere on the West Bank.
about.com
"This means the historic Jewish Quarter of Old Jerusalem and the Western Wall become part of a Palestinian state, the illegal Jordanian occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem becomes memorialized, Israel reverts to the “Auschwitz borders,” Judea and Samaria become Judenfrei, and defensible positions including in the Jordan Valley are lost."

Atlas Shrugs   "Three and half more years of the jihad president -- the world is going to look wildly different in 2016. Unrecognizable"....
 "According the Daily Beast, Obama secretly lifted sanctions months ago on Iran.

Oh, the racism in the song, "Obamacare By Morning"!

From Wake up Black America: The new #1 hit "Obamacare by Morning"  ..."Of course, the left had no recourse against Paisley and Underwood mockery of Obamacare and the people in attendance laughing at the Obamacare mockery other then to take to Twitter and claim as usual that this was nothing more then a bunch of "rich white RACIST people" attacking Obama." ...


Top 5 Takeaways from CMA's ObamaCare Song Parody  The video is in this post as well. 
"Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood's mockery of the ObamaCare web site didn't just ignite the crowd during Wednesday's CMA Awards telecast. It represented a cultural nudge that could resonate long after the lyrics to ObamaCare by Morning fade from memory."

'Rich, white conservative' country music fans mock Obamacare   "Other than that liberal, progressive, open minded folks, so tolerant of diversity, pluralism and multi culturalism, how was the show?
"Herman Cain liked it.  Oh him!"  
...
"Condemnation by liberals sure to follow.  As it did in the past when this successful black man expressed his conservative thoughts as a potential Republican presidential candidate." 

This is written before Matthews weighs in on the above song, which I am sure he will: The Top 20 Worst Chris Matthews Quotes Calling Obama Critics Racist    "In Matthews’ mind, any opposition to the President is due to racism on the right. Name almost any issue that President Obama has faced confrontation on, and the MSNBC host has cited racism as the root cause."

How Can We Possibly Trust Obama on Iran?

PJ Media  "The Roman legal maxim Falsus in Uno, Falsus in Ominibus, meaning one who testifies falsely on one thing cannot be trusted on anything, may be a bit of an exaggeration. But what about Falsus repeatedly, as Barack Obama has been?"
obama_iran_crossing_fingers_big_11-7-13-2
"How can we let a president who has lied dozens of times about our healthcare negotiate something as cataclysmic as nuclear weaponry with Iran? How can we possibly trust him?
"And yet that is happening before our eyes. The Wall Street Journal is reporting:" ...
....
 "A president who is becoming increasingly defensive with each passing day is likely to do something erratic and dangerous. We cannot let him. Otherwise it will certainly be “Israel alone.” Maybe it already is."

America's top UN diplomat has high praise for 'Hanoi Jane'

Fox News   "New U.S. ambassador to the UN Samantha Power didn't waste her diplomatic skills on Vietnam veterans at a New York speech, praising actress Jane Fonda for "being outspoken on behalf" of her convictions."
....
"But Vietnam veterans have long held a less charitable view of the Oscar-winning actress, who in her younger days took her anti-war activism to North Vietnam, where she posed with Viet Cong soldiers at a missile battery and earned the derisive nickname "Hanoi Jane." The now-75-year-old actress has since apologized for what she told Oprah Winfrey was an "unforgivable mistake" made in 1972. Fonda told Winfrey she was taken to a North Vietnam military site during the last day of her visit, despite her objections."
....
Fonda and another Obama
diplomat
"Joe Kristek, a 69-year-old former Army sergeant ... said Fonda "collaborated with the enemy." Kristek repeated an old allegation that Fonda took notes from American POWs and, instead of passing them on to their families, instead turned them over to their captors. Fonda has said she did meet with POWs, but denies turning over their messages."

Jane Fonda Supported the Enemy in Vietnam and Her Conduct Got American POW's Killed-Truth! and Fiction!  There is no dispute that her visit took place and that her words and actions were in support of the enemy.  This particular email includes three stories, two of which have been denied by the POWs who are named, and one of which has been confirmed as true by the source, although he was not named in the email.

A Complete Takedown of Obamacare Lies in One Video; Commentary by two amazing ladies

First this foreword by Ann Coulter  "So now it turns out Obama knew that 93 million Americans would have their health insurance canceled the whole time he was claiming, "If you like your insurance, you can keep it. Period." 
Obama lied. Period. "Hope and Change" was actually "A Sucker Is Born Every Minute.' "

Katie Pavlich:  A Complete Takedown of Obamacare Lies in One Video
"This 18 minute long video deconstructs nearly every single lie told about President Obama's signature piece of legislation from the time Obamacare was signed into law in 2010 until now. Everything from doctors "supporting" the Affordable Care Act to the false promise of keeping health insurance plans under the law is covered. It's a must watch and worth every minute of your time.

"As this video makes clear, nearly every part of Obamacare was sold on a lie."


... "Many in America were shocked that anyone would call the President of the United States a liar in such a forum as a presidential address to a joint session of Congress.
"But, now, as we look back on 5 years of Barack Obama, we see that Obama and his Administration do lie.  And they lie a lot."....

Affordable Care Act: if we didn't laugh we'd cry. But that would be racist, wouldn't it?

"Who says President Barack Obama (D) hasn't accomplished anything?  Not Global Language Monitor, an Austin, Texas based firm helping clients protect their branded products."...
 
Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood Slam ObamaCare, Spoof ACA Website Problems at CMAs  "The pair kicked off a rant about the faulty Affordable Care Act website after the country crooner “injured” himself “twerking.”
“ 'I started signing up last Thursday and I’m almost done,” quipped Underwood."

As predicted:  Freak-out in full swing over ‘rich, white’ racists mocking Obamacare at the CMAs

Simulated sex acts will be tolerated on national TV, but you will NOT mock liberal programs!

White House blames the victim of Obamacare regs

On Tuesday, TW posted this about  in the Wall Street Journal: White House Adviser Smears Cancer Patient Who Lost Her Health Insurance
The post included reaction to her piece from a White House official. This next article has more on the administration's treatment of Mrs. Sundby:

 White House blames the victim of Obamacare regs  "For daring to expose the failures of Obamacare, Obama advisor Dan Pfeiffer immediately exploded with a misleading tweet citing a misleading article in a leftist publication falsely claiming her up to now fine insurance company dropped her because they couldn't take the competition. 
"Wrong! The insurance company was just following the law; Pfeiffer's boss's namesake law.".... Ethel C. Fenig
