Individual Mandate Unravels
The latest Friday document dump featured another ObamaCare proclamation. If your insurance was canceled because it was a substandard bad apple you can buy another substandard bad apple plan. Or you can take a one year break from the individual mandate and go without.
The WSJ headlined, “Obama Repeals ObamaCare”
Dick Morris claims ObamaCare is dead because the unraveling will accelerate next year when group plans are canceled.
Lie of the Year Award
PolitiFact honored the president with its Lie of the Year award for saying “if you like your healthcare plan you can keep it”.
When Senator Ron Wyden asked National Intelligence Director James Clapper if NSA collected data on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans, Clapper answered, “No.”… “not wittingly”.
Now that we know NSA tracks everyone’s calls, including Angela Merkel’s, Andrea Mitchell asked Clapper why he lied. Clapper complained that Wyden had asked about secret operations in a public forum and that he answered him in the “least untruthful manner”.
The Great Mandela Selfie
I wasn’t that upset by the Great Mandela Memorial Selfie. In fact it was a relief to see the president finally getting along well with others.
World leaders haven’t been so relaxed together since W rubbed down Angela Merkel.
Blame Government
President Obama told Chris Matthews not to blame him for the stumble start of ObamaCare. Blame the government. More specifically, blame outdated big agencies.
But don’t blame outdated big agencies for the web site. It’s up to “private sector velocity“.
Blame Government
The Gipper could have told The Messiah that government isn’t the solution to our problem, it is the problem.
George Will is amused.
Mandela
I heard Vatican analyst John Allen suggest that world moral authority would pass from Nelson Mandela to Pope Francis. If you like your moral authority you can keep your moral authority…
Interesting to consider that two of the world’s most humble guys would also be the most popular.
Humility does have it’s limits, though. While he pope ditched the red shoes, Mandela wore cool shirts to the end
