Democrat Bob Beckel: “I Got a Call from Somebody at the White House ”

[Two Thumbs]

Democrat Bob Beckel, co host of Fox News' "The Five" tells Bill Hemmer he got a call from the White House after criticizing Obamacare yesterday:

Politics Chicago-style–
Democratic operative and FOX News contributor Bob Beckel told Bill Hemmer today that he got a call from the White House after he suggested implementation for Obamacare should be delayed 6 months.

“The other day on The Five I called for a delay for the implementation of this for five months or six months to a year. And I got a call from somebody at the White House who absolutely bludgeoned me over it…“

He got a call b/c FOX wouldn't fire him for being honest.

funny how being honest on FOX won't get you fired from FOX, but all other stations will can a liberal that goes off Soros's script.

You can go on Healthcare.gov and check plan prices without signing up now. I just did it a few minutes ago.

Platinum plan for my family of four......$925-1000 per month.

Gold plan.......similar to what we now have......$625-700.

Perhaps. Perhaps not.

CBS News has uncovered a serious pricing problem with HealthCare.gov. It stems from the Obama administration's efforts to improve its health care website. A new online feature can dramatically underestimate the cost of insurance.

The administration announced it would provide a new "shop and browse" feature Sunday, but it's not giving consumers the real picture. In some cases, people could end up paying double of what they see on the website, CBS News' Jan Crawford reported Wednesday on "CBS This Morning."

Why are you guys pretending that getting a phone call is some terrible punitive action taken by the President?

 

[Two Thumbs]

Beckel is liberal for a paycheck.

Nobody called him.

It is not proof of anything.

Carson was not audited because of anything he said.

ahh, I love seeing the truth hurt.

Government intimidation?

Why are you guys pretending that getting a phone call is some terrible punitive action taken by the President?

Why would the WH call a talking head?

he stepped out of line and needed to be reminded not to do so again.

If he was at msn, he'd be unemployed


It's soft tyranny

Anything to back this little fantasy scenario up?

Straw men like "If he was... then this would have happened..." don't count.

Obama is the most Thin Skinned and Peevish President EVAH!

 

[Oldstyle]

Like I said before...why is this Administration so concerned about the opinions of Bob Beckel or Josi Joseph that they are calling one on the carpet and firing the other? Contrast the way that Obama handles criticism with how W. did...it's like night and day. Bush was criticized constantly and seldom responded to the criticism. Obama get's criticized infrequently and gets downright childish when it happens. It's pretty sad when a White House can't handle being called out on it's OBVIOUS failings without attacking the messenger.

Well done. It has now become historical fact that President Obama himself is concerned with Bob Beckel.

Obama is criticized infrequently? You actually said that?

Burst the bubble, man. Just do it already.

 

[daveman]

Naturally this would happen. A political party is not going to allow their unified front to be dissolved that easily.

Yes, groupthink must be rigidly enforced.

You are getting tiresome.

What is tiresome is all the heavy mouth breathing topics and groupthink over completely insignificant matters.

Funny how you mention groupthink, when you just defended Democrat groupthink.

Oh, wait -- you all arrived at the very same conclusions at the very same time just by sheer coincidence.

Right?

 

[Antares]

You two amaze...Bob Beckel has been carrying water for the Obama Administration on Fox for years now, defending Barack against all odds...but now you're going to accuse him of lying about this? LOL Wow...you guys are REALLY getting desperate over the ACA shit!

Bullshit.

He has been a fake liberal.....a living, breathing liberal stereotype machine.

He is a punching bag.....a guy who OBVIOUSLY walks into the traps set for him by other FOX personalities........making the liberal POV appear idiotic to the dopey FOX viewers.

Carrying water my ass. Every "liberal" who regularly appears on FOX is a paycheck liberal.....there only to advance the narrative.

Damn...you are gullible.

...and of course this opinion, YOUR opinion should be taken as gospel just because you say so...got it.

The Libearl response to ANYTHING they don't like is a simple "NUH-UH" response.

 

[daveman]

Nobody called him.

It is not proof of anything.

Carson was not audited because of anything he said.

If a "liberal for a paycheck" isn't supporting the ACA then who will?

Nobody called him? Oh, so now you're accusing Beckel of lying about getting a call from the White House? Really?

And I suppose that's it's a total coincidence that Carson had never been audited BEFORE he became a visible critic of the President and was audited as soon as he was? Yeah...sure!

Yes. I am accusing him of lying. Carson too. Lying is SOP for you 30%ers. It comes natural to you.

If only you were able to see the lies of the left...

But of course, that will never happen. In case of a discrepancy between reality and a progressive, reality is wrong.

HealthCare.gov pricing feature can be off the mark - CBS News

(CBS News) CBS News has uncovered a serious pricing problem with HealthCare.gov. It stems from the Obama administration's efforts to improve its health care website. A new online feature can dramatically underestimate the cost of insurance.

The administration announced it would provide a new "shop and browse" feature Sunday, but it's not giving consumers the real picture. In some cases, people could end up paying double of what they see on the website, CBS News' Jan Crawford reported Wednesday on "CBS This Morning."

--

Industry analysts point to how the website lumps people only into two broad categories: "49 or under" and "50 or older."

Jonathan Wu is co-founder of Valuepenguin.com, a consumer finance website focusing on the impact of health care reform. His company has built a tool that provides quotes for plans on the federal exchange. He said it's "incredibly misleading for people that are trying to get a sense of what they're paying."

Prices for everyone in the 49-or-under group are based on what a 27-year-old would pay. In the 50-or-older group, prices are based on what a 50-year-old would pay.

CBS News ran the numbers for a 48-year-old in Charlotte, N.C., ineligible for subsidies. According to HealthCare.gov, she would pay $231 a month, but the actual plan on Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina's website costs $360, more than 50 percent higher. The difference: Blue Cross and Blue Shield requests your birthday before providing more accurate estimates.

The numbers for older Americans are even more striking. A 62-year-old in Charlotte looking for the same basic plan would get a price estimate on the government website of $394. The actual price is $634.

--

Industry executives CBS News spoke with could not believe the government is providing these estimates, which they said were useless and could easily mislead consumers. They also said that the website repeatedly states the actual prices could be lower, but it makes no mention that they could be higher.​

Everything this Administration touches turns to shit.

Do you think the White House called him to thank him for the criticism?

ANOTHER bs gotcha- Just put in your birth date, and you get the correct figure...

 

[francoHFW]

If you expect the exact figure when you're just answering above or below 49, you're an idiot...

 

[francoHFW]

Is that the ''liberal media'' LOL...
