Column: What Does the President Know? By
Andy Weddington
Excerpt:
During a recent analysis and opinion segment on FOX News Bret Baier's
'Special Report' Dr. Krauthammer said Obama claiming he was not aware of
the scope of his namesake's healthcare program - Obamacare, the pride and joy
of his presidency - woes was, in so many words, nonsense.
D.C.’s online health
exchange has “hundreds” of problem applications
Excerpt: The District’s online health-insurance exchange is
grappling with “hundreds” of problematic applications from shoppers unable to
enroll in health plans because of system error messages, an exchange spokesman
said Friday.
In Government We Trust: The Progressive Religion. By Derek
Hunter
Excerpt: In a column reeking of
desperation on par with a kid hoping for a unicorn under his Christmas tree,
the Washington Post’s Ryan Cooper complied a list of reasons “Why millennials will come around on Obamacare.” Aside
from a desperate lack of understanding of health policy and how people work,
the second reason Cooper lists stands out. He writes, “Going without health
insurance is morally wrong.” ... " Getting insurance will be part
of living in a decent society where everyone chips in when they can afford it,
and free-riding is frowned upon — and over time, young people will come to see
this as part of being a responsible citizen.” (Since when have liberals frowned
on "free riders"--they are practically a sacred protected class. For
more on this, see: "The Great

Another ObamaCare
Misstatement: Protecting Those With Pre-Existing Conditions
Excerpt: The people most threatened by ObamaCare have
pre-existing conditions, meaning health problems that make it hard to get
insurance. To sell ObamaCare, the president actually lied, claiming he would
protect these people. He even lied that his mother, Anne Dunham, a cancer
victim, suffered because her insurer used the pre-existing condition excuse to
drop her. The truth, revealed in a 2011 biography, is she had employer-provided
insurance which paid her hospital bills until the end of her life. ... Since
1996, employer-provided plans have been barred from dropping or excluding
anyone based on a pre-existing condition. Nor does Medicare or Medicaid. (This
one I really had no idea of, if there was anything that ObamaCare was going to
do, it was protect people with preexisting conditions. Now that really main
part of the promises also turns out to be ...... an inoperative statement? Wow,
this is really, really impressive! --Del )
Emails: Obama administration misled Congress, decided to
delay website in August

http://dailycaller.com/2013/12/06/emails-obama-administration-misled-congress-decided-to-delay-website-in-august/#ixzz2moZUS8Op
Excerpt: The Obama administration
knew in advance that Obamacare’s online small business exchanges would
not be ready by deadline and agreed to delay part of the website as early as
August, according to emails obtained by House Energy and Commerce Committee
investigators. The Committee accused Obama administration officials of
misleading Congress about the website’s progress. Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services (CMS) officials and Obamacare website contractor CGI Federal
secretly agreed that the SHOP program would have to be delayed more than a
month before the administration told the American public that the program would
still be ready on time.
Doctors boycotting California
Excerpt: An estimated seven out of every 10 physicians in
deep-blue California
are rebelling against the state's Obamacare health insurance exchange
and won't participate, the head of the state's largest medical association
said. “It doesn't surprise me that there's a high rate of nonparticipation,”
said Dr. Richard Thorp, president of the California Medical Association.
Excerpt: The Los Angeles Times’
Chad Terhune reports that Covered
California, which Obamacare proponents have held up as a rare example of a
functioning state health care exchange, provides names, addresses, phone
numbers and email addresses of customers who did not ask to be contacted.
David Gergen: Report
On Obamacare Prep Shows “No One In Charge’ Of White House
Excerpt: "I don’t think this is simply sloppiness on
the part of the White House," Gergen said. "What seems to me is
there’s a case of near malfeasance here." Gergen, who has served as
Director of Speechwriting for the Nixon White House, Director of Communications
for both Presidents Ford and Reagan, and then as a senior advisor to President
Bill Clinton, is intimately familiar with how the White House operates.

Interesting: Migration Hurts the Homeland. By Paul
Collier
Excerpt: As self-serving as Mr. Zuckerberg’s advocacy may be
— immigration reform happens to align nicely with the interests of the
technology industry — his high-minded rhetoric reflects an attempt to appeal to
pro-immigration liberals, who presume that opening doors wider is the humane
thing to do. But humane for whom? What’s good for migrants from poor places is
not always good for the countries they’re leaving behind. Migration is good for
poor countries, but not in every form, and not in unlimited amounts.

Excerpt: “If you look at the chiefs of the services, none of them have direct ground combat, so they really don’t know what we’re talking about here. There’s a radical feminist agenda here, and they never would have been selected by the Obama administration … unless they agreed that they would move forward on these particular agendas,” retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. Bob Maginnis, author of “Deadly Consequences: How Cowards Are Pushing Women Into Combat,” told WND.( The insanity goes on, despite all the evidence against it, and when irrational principles like PC start becoming compelling rules for behavior, then it's signing up for a disaster.

November 2014 shaping
up as a shipwreck for Democrats. By Sherman
Frederick
Excerpt: Pundits on the left and right agree: Obamacare will
leave a mark on Democrats in the 2014 elections. When the most hopey-changey of
journalists, Ezra Klein of The Washington Post, writes “Change hurts, particularly
in health care insurance, and it may well hurt Democrats in 2014,” you know
we’re headed for a stormy political year. (With Eric Holder in charge of
investigating vote fraud, does anyone one think any of Barry's lackeys might

When is inequality harmful? When it's caused by cronyism.
By Timothy P. Carney
Excerpt: President Obama wants to put inequality at the
center of America 's
political discourse. Fine. Here’s the opening question: “Does inequality
matter?” The answer: “It depends.” It depends on how governments react to
inequality, it depends on how developed the country is, it depends on whether
it's wealth inequality or income inequality.

Excerpt: Although the jobless rates in November fell to

Book Review: Thirty Years of Politics, Passion and
Persuasion
Excerpt: Usually, when a journalist publishes a book
containing reproductions of his past journalistic endeavors, it is little cause
to open up amazon.com for a download. Way more often than not such an event is an
exercise in self-indulgence, or a consequence of the journalist’s lack of
anything new to say or an attempt to cash in on old news. Not so with Dr.
Charles Krauthammer. His new book, Things
That Matter, is a brilliant compendium of some of his most notable weekly
columns and magazine pieces composed over the last thirty years.
Do the Obamacrats
Really Believe the Economic Garbage they Espouse?
http://ronlipsman.com/2013/12/07/do-the-obamacrats-really-believe-the-economic-garbage-they-espouse/
Excerpt: The Obama presidency is in tatters. From Obamacare
to numerous scandals (e.g., Benghazi ,
IRS, Fast & Furious) to economic stagnation to palpable American decline,
the shards of disaster over which the big O presides – and much of which he has
caused – are bleeding the Republic and torturing its people. How does Obama
respond? Why of course by doubling down on the very policies that have brought
the US
to its current sorry place:
Progressivism in the
crosshairs
Excerpt: Now that Democrats have made their peace with the
one percent, in the person of Mary Burke, the party bosses’ handpicked
candidate for governor, it is safe to be successful again — especially if you
inherited your wealth. Having used it to defeat Mitt Romney, the class warfare
meme has served its purpose. Now our progressive acquaintances are stuck with
Barack Obama for another three years, after which time the (un)Affordable
Health Care act website may be up and running.
Excerpt: The Islamic Front, a recently formed Islamist
alliance of several large groups that cooperate with al Qaeda in Syria , has driven Free Syrian Army forces out of

Late last month, the warehouse and its FSA commanders were taken over by the
al Qaeda-affiliated Islamic State of Iraq and the Sham.

Administration and its Justice Department kept them in the dark about the fact
that their son/brother's Iraqi Muslim killer was not only given U.S.

Dana Shearon, Army Spc. Pellegrini's sister, contacted and spoke exclusively
with DebbieSchlussel.com, as Mrs. Shearon's husband is a regular reader of this

Excerpt: Akunis: If

Likud MK Ofir Akunis warned not to be too optimistic about
the Israel-Palestinian Authority peace talks Friday, stating "If
Kerry is optimistic, we must be very worried." Earlier Friday, US
Secretary of State John Kerry had expressed hopes
about the talks, declaring that "we are closer than we have been in years
to bringing about the peace and the prosperity and the security that all
of the people of this region deserve." The MK was skeptical about the
development.

Scahill spoke with left-leaning hosts Amy Goodman and
Juan Gonzalez about the global suppression of reporters in places far-flung
such as Somalia and Mexico .
But although he was responding to the British government's crackdown
on The Guardian newspaper, Scahill reserved special ire for the Obama

Duncan has promised to improve education quality vastly by pushing for the

much care for the people who criticize Common Core, either. He has insisted

child isn’t as brilliant as they thought they were and their school isn’t quite
as good as they thought they were, and that’s pretty scary.” (Scored a 689 out

to this lesson on possessive nouns doubling as a authoritarian propaganda. The

to learn that, “An individual’s wants are less important than the nation’s
well-being.” What’s next? “Verb Tenses and Why You Love Big Brother, You Have
Always Loved Big Brother,” would be a good guess.

Do About It” and staff member for the Select Committee on Intelligence
of the United States Senate is highly critical of both the Bush and Obama
administrations for their failure to understand their role in international
