Government Glitch
Healthcare isn’t the only government operation with a glitch or two.
Last week shoppers cleared the shelves of a Walmart when the store allowed the use of EBTcards that showed no balance limits due to a computer glitch. When the glitch was fixed and the card balances appeared, the shoppers dashed leaving behind carts full of merchandise.
Orwellian Train Wreck
It turns out ObamaCare really is a train wreck.
Republicans tried to delay it and were denied. Then they tried to defund it and the result was a government shutdown.
Even though it was far from their goal, had the Republicans succeeded, they would have saved the president’s signature program a lot of embarrassment.
Orwellian White House
Instead, the White House called the Tea Party’s efforts to stop the train wreck “terrorism“.
The same administration, four years ago, labeled the killing of 13 troops at Fort Hood in the name of Islam, “workplace violence“.
Tea Party and Donkey Tracks
President Obama focused blame on Republican responsibility for refusing to raise the ceiling on irresponsible spending. The Tea Party made a brave stand but in the end got stomped.
Update:
I like cartoons that work without words – other than the ones on the flag in this case. Also, I think it’s funnier when a cartoon implies an event that has already happened and the reader gets the punchline when he or she recognizes it.
ObamaCare Failure
Washington Post blogger Ezra Klein, a supporter of ObamaCare, called the launch a big failure.
And Forbes says, “ObamaCare’s website is crashing because it doesn’t want you to know how costly its plans are.”
ObamaCare Failure
According to the WSJ, “The failures that have all but disabled ObamaCare are the result of deliberate political choices, which HHS and the White House are compounding with secrecy and stonewalling.”

The President’s Lawn
The president thinks the National Mall is his lawn. He used park service storm troopers to try to keep veterans and everyone else – except illegal immigrants – away from the mall and memorials. Maybe the illegal immigrants were represented by illegal immigrant lawyers.
Lawn Job
Over the weekend veteran groups uprooted park service barricades and dumped them on the White House lawn.
