The Obama – Clinton Media Axis
Western Free Press "Saving the Administration and Gearing up for 2016"
"The cozy relationship between the Democratic Party and the mainstream media made news Monday when Bill Daley, President Obama’s former Chief of Staff, signed on as a commentator with CBS News.
"Along with his fellow left-leaning media pundits, Daley has his work cut out for him. The immediate task is saving the Obama administration from the Obamacare disaster. Then he will move on with the others to pave the way for Hillary Clinton in 2016."
....
"Daley’s position at CBS is only the latest example of the revolving door that spins for Democrats. Journalists leave prominent media jobs for senior government positions; political operatives with government experience join the media."
NYT: Obama 'Misspoke' When He Lied About Keeping Your Insurance
..."Then the Times said that the fib was totally justified, since Americans had to be convinced to give up their insurance for better insurance plans under Obamacare – as though the free market does not allow people to do that already." More here.

Too bad this Virginia election coverage just now came out
"It has been revealed that the libertarian candidate for governor in Virginia, who is siphoning votes away from Ken Cuccinelli, was funded by an Obama campaign bundler. Meredith Jessup of the Blaze reports:"...
....
"This is one of the oldest tricks in the book. Split your opponent's votes with a hopeless candidate. Coming as it does on Election Day, this revelation may be too late."
Taking Issue with McAuliffe and Single-Issue Voters "McAuliffe's accusations are outlandish to the point of insulting the intelligence of his opponents and supporters. Claiming your opponent, whom is married with five daughters, is focused on advancing his anti-woman agenda is patently ridiculous."
Ken Cuccinelli’s rough ride may have lessons big and small for the GOP.
"McAuliffe’s campaign did feature a simple theme: “Republicans like Ken Cuccinelli are horrible people.” That may seem like an exaggeration, but McAuliffe has run a disciplined campaign that began by demonizing his opponent, moved on to demonizing his opponent, and then finished by demonizing his opponent."
White House Adviser Smears Cancer Patient Who Lost Her Health Insurance
OUT: Mitt Romney causes women to get cancer.
IN: Women with cancer should probably shut up about ObamaCare.
Edie Littlefield Sundby is an average person and cancer survivor who wrote an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal over the weekend in which she detailed the loss of her health insurance under ObamaCare.
Edie Littlefield Sundby in the Wall Street Journal; I had great cancer doctors and health insurance. My plan was cancelled. Now I worry how long I'll live.
...."Since March 2007 United Healthcare has paid $1.2 million to help keep me alive, and it has never once questioned any treatment or procedure recommended by my medical team. The company pays a fair price to the doctors and hospitals, on time, and is responsive to the emergency treatment requirements of late-stage cancer. Its caring people in the claims office have been readily available to talk to me and my providers.
"But in January, United Healthcare sent me a letter announcing that they were pulling out of the individual California market. The company suggested I look to Covered California starting in October.
"You would think it would be simple to find a health-exchange plan that allows me, living in San Diego, to continue to see my primary oncologist at Stanford University and my primary care doctors at the University of California, San Diego. Not so." ...

Will Obama invite this woman to the next State of the Union address?
"I am praying that Ms. Sundby continues her valiant battle, that ObamaCare is cast into the dustbin of history (along with Solyndra solar panels, Fisker Cars, etc.) and the next President, a Republican, has the honor to invite her to the State of the Union Address in 2017."

Germany: Police storm homeschool class, take children by force
Adina Kutnicki; ‘Officers brought a battering ram and were about to break the door in’
Four children, ages 7 to 14, have been forcibly taken from their Darmstadt, Germany, home by police armed with a battering ram, and their parents have been told they won’t see them again soon, all over the issue of homeschooling, according to a stunning new report from the Home School Legal Defense Association.
HSLDA, the world’s premiere advocate for homeschoolers, said the family of Dirk and Petra Wunderlich has battled for several years Germany’s World War II-era requirement that all children submit to the indoctrination programs in the nation’s public schools.
Obama Bid to Deport Homeschool Refugees May Threaten U.S. Rights "The Romeikes, who fled outrageous persecution in Germany so that they could homeschool in peace and freedom in America, were awarded asylum in the United States by a federal immigration judge in 2010. They had fled from their native land two years earlier to escape the extreme punishments meted out to homeschoolers there. According to U.S. law, persecuted members of particular social groups — home educating families or Christians, for example — are supposed to be allowed to stay in the Land of the Free to avoid further persecution in their homelands."
On Obamacare, the president says, "Let me be clear, period."
Obama denies ‘you can keep it’ videotaped promises "President Barack Obama told his enthusiastic supporters Monday night that he never promised what video recordings show him promising at least 29 times.

“ 'What we said was you could keep it if it hasn’t changed since the law was passed,” he told Obamacare’s political beneficiaries and contractors.
That claim is not supported by his videotaped statements, which don’t include any mention of his new “if it hasn’t changed” exception."

From Jake Tapper at CNN: Obamacare 'War Room' docs: We're concerned next media story is some consumers getting on website and finding fewer options, higher prices
"Officials expressed concern that the next shoe to drop in the evolving story about the Affordable Care Act would be disappointment from consumers once they are able to get on the troubled HealthCare.gov website – disappointment because of sticker shock and limited choice, according to a new document obtained by CNN."

Can Small Businesses Handle Obamacare?
By Megan McArdle at Bloomberg
"Subbing in for Matt Yglesias, Sean Vitka looks at a new report from the National Federation of Independent Business, the trade association for small businesses, and says that “No, Obamacare Hasn't Led Small Businesses to Cut Employees' Health Care”:" ...
....
"Good news! But here’s a surprising thing: The numbers in that report seem to be at odds with its words.
"Here’s the report's table on employers who plan to drop health insurance versus employers who plan to add it:
"If you look at the percentages, then Vitka’s point is correct. Thirteen percent of employers who do not offer insurance plan to add it, while only 7 percent of those who offer insurance plan to drop it. Unfortunately, percentage is not the correct way to look at it."

Obamacare:The operative consensus today is: lies and fraud
Mark Steyn; A Phalanx of Lies. "Remember that health insurance you could keep? "
"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?
Will Insularity, Incompetence, and Lies Doom Obamacare? "The good news is there is time to learn from--and recover from--the early stumbles. Here are four important lessons from the postmortems."....Via Lucianne.
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."
