A White House in Crisis Mode

[TemplarKormac]

In what has been a grueling month and a half for the President to this point, many questions loom as to whether Obamacare is ready for prime time. Aides and connections to the White House recall a President angrily tearing into his staff for the failure of the healthcare.gov website two weeks after it's botched rollout. The President is now facing the wrath of those who once supported his healthcare law, demanding that it be delayed or that the enrollment period be extended until the law is fixed. The White House somehow believes that this is just another crisis that will eventually fade. They couldn't be any more wrong.

WASHINGTON — President Obama was seething. Two weeks after the disastrous launch of HealthCare.gov, Mr. Obama gathered his senior staff members in the Oval Office for what one aide recalled as an “unsparing” dressing-down.

The public accepts that technology sometimes fails, the president said, but he had personally trumpeted that HealthCare.gov would be ready on Oct. 1, and it wasn’t.

“If I had known,” Mr. Obama said, according to the aide, “we could have delayed the website.”

Mr. Obama’s anger, described by a White House that has repeatedly sought to show that the president was unaware of the extent of the website’s problems, has lit a fire under the West Wing staff. Senior aides are racing to make sure the website is fixed by the end of the month as they confront the political fallout from presidential promises, now broken, that all Americans who liked their existing health care plans could keep them.

What? Did I go too far in revealing the vulnerabilities of a president once perceived as invincible?

 

[Old Rocks]

And if the administration is successful in fixing the glitchs, listens to the problems as the ACA starts implementation, and fixes those, you people are once again in trouble. You see, nobody appreciates the asshole that sits on the sidelines as a problem is addressed, making fun of those addressing the problem, while creating larger problems. And that is the postition of the GOP and the 'Conservatives'. Constant critisim and derision, and not a single real idea on how to address this nation's problems, other than more tax breaks for the very wealthy.

Kiddo, we have yet to have a President that is not a human being. Every human being has vulnebilities. All you revealed is the immaturity of your mind.

Yeah and monkeys will fly out my ass as well.

The truth is that even if they get the website fixed, the problems with Obamacare are so many and so deep Obama's problems will only get worse.
Currently only older sicker people are signing up. Insurance companies counted on hordes of healthy young people willingly over paying for insurance they don't need and wont use to make the actuarial tables work. But they wont. They will pay the penalty instead and the pools will blow up, causing rates to skyrocket more than they already have.
btw, where is Greenbeard, professional flack for Obamacare, who promised us that rates would go down?

This story once again shows Obama as
1) Blaming others
2) Out of the loop
3) Impotent
4) Immature.

He is the worst president we have ever had. He is the worst president ever. And I include Robert Mugabe.

what a fucking dumbass, the damn plan should not need any "FIXING".., it should have been very near perfect when rolled out for human consumption.

you poor welfare bums always criticize the wealthy, why don't you use all that intelligence you have stored up and become one of the wealthy rather than whine about the wealthy.


""not a single real idea on how to address this nation's problems,""

i have an idea on how to solve ALL of this nations problems.., get rid of every fucking dimwit democRAT/liberal/socialist/commie in WDC and every state in the United States of America

No, it reveals the immaturity of the common liberal. For some reason Obama could do no wrong, and as far as they were concerned, DID no wrong. It reveals the puerility of the liberal mind. How naive.

OK. Let's take a look at our present health care system. The most expensive, on a per capita basis in the world. Yet achieves results that rank it with many third world nations. And, in spite of it being the most expensive on a per capita basis, it does not cover all of our citizens. Our longevity is below that of most other industrialized nations, and our infant mortality is definately third world.

In most industrailized nation, bankruptcy caused by medical bills is a bad memory from generations ago. In our nation, it is a reality for over 750,000 families every year. If you are very wealthy, the US has a great health care system. If you are working poor, or middle class, "Let him die, let him die".

And that is what the GOP is happy with, and is working hard to perpetuate.

Same tired talking points, no real facts.

The United States has a life expectancy of 78.64 years, only behind that of Canada. And the second highest in North America. This chart shows where the US ranks as far as life expectancy goes:

And birth mortality rate which as of 2008 was less than 1 per 1000 live births:

So your claim that our healthcare system is somehow subpar to the rest of the world's is preposterous on it's face. Your claim that we have a 'third world' infant mortality rate is a bald face lie. 4.2 million people have lost their insurance because of Obamacare, and are being forced into plans with higher premiums. This will no doubt get people killed, much less bankrupt them. It seems to me that this is something that Democrats want to perpetuate here in the US, by destroying one of the better healthcare systems on the planet.

Nothing in your post is true.

The US health system is the best in the history of the world
Pre-ACA no one was being denied healthcare in the US--NO ONE, not even those here illegally
our longevity rates are affected by obesity, drug use, tobacco use, murder, abortion,etc. not the quality of medical care
Very few bankruptcies are due to medical bills, 99% of unpaid medical bills are written off by hospitals and doctors. People may go bankrupt when they are sick because of credit card bills and mortgages and the inability to work, but medical bills are not causing bankrupcies
The "working poor" whoever that is, are not denied medical care and told to go home and die---that is a left wing lie.

To repeat---nothing in your post is true, but those left wing talking points are expected from fools like you who still believe in the kenyan messiah.
