But,
after reading through all of the stories that have emerged after our clueless
president once again tells us he knew so very little about the impending
tragedy that bears his name (at least one of his names), I selected two.
One from a recurring name to the roster of unflappable dim bulbs that has
ever been afforded a podium. Sheila Jackson-Lee can truly spew such
incredible nonsense, it really is often times just downright unbelievable. But here it is to gauge for yourself. The other liberal lug nut is none other than
the architect of Obamacare – Ezekiel
Emanuel (you know, the brother of well-known communist Rahm who is
currently taking Chicago further down the drain along with Detroit).
These
two stories so well exemplify the adopted game plan of Saul Alinsky – demonize,
blame, and profess ignorance….
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee Claims Cancellation Notices "Not the Truth"
Christine Rousselle
11/15/2013 4:05:00 PM - Christine Rousselle
Oh, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee.
Despite the fact that thousands
and potentially millions
of Americans have had their plans canceled due to noncompliance with minimum
standards of the Affordable Care Act, that's just no big deal to Rep. Lee.
Speaking to National
Review Online (emphasis added):
Representative Sheila Jackson Lee, a Texas Democrat, told National Review
Online today that instead of sending out cancellation letters, insurance
companies should have told their customers that their coverage was about to get
better.
She said she wrote an amendment before the president’s announcement that
would require insurance companies to “tell the truth.”
“The cancellation notice was not the truth,” she says. “It
should have been: ’We intend to or expect to modify your
insurance.’”
Really, Rep. Lee? Really? How else could you possibly describe a letter from
an insurance company that blatantly states that their plan will no longer be offered due to Obamacare? It
is, in the literal sense of the word, a cancellation letter.
And that's the truth.
'Fun Guy' Ezekiel Emanuel Blames GOP and Fox News for Obamacare
Disaster
During her second interview with Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel
in less than 3 weeks, Megyn Kelly of Fox News called the snippy Obamacare agitator a "fun guy."
Well, maybe it was fun for her viewers to see the
architect of Obamacare try to defend the indefensible.
The best Emanuel could come up with was something about a "self-fulfilling
prophesy" brought on by the GOP and Fox News.
The death panel advocate clearly wasn't going to
answer Kelly's questions about whether the President knew or anticipated that
millions would lose their insurance because of the healthcare law, so he lashed
out at the usual scapegoats.
From the video:
EMANUEL: There were differences about how they wanted
to run it, and they decided to run it with people in CMS [Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services] having the charge for doing it. Remember,
this was not an environment which was hospitable to setting up the exchanges.
You and your colleagues were constantly criticizing, trying to underfund it and
trying to make sure it didn't work.
KELLY: A lot of that criticism proved
true.
EMANUEL: It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. We're going
to try to do everything we can to make it fail and then when it fails, we're
going to say, "Oh why did it fail?"
KELLY: What? I don't think Fox News had anything to do
with the rollout of HealthCare.gov. As far as I know, we didn't touch that Web
site.
EMANUEL: You were constantly attacking the law and you
were trying to make it underfunded.
KELLY: I'll give you that one, too. It was all our
fault.
Emanuel also admitted the low enrollment numbers were
and are "disappointing," but said we still have four and a half months to go
before open enrollment ends. Then he offered a milquetoast
metaphor:
This is like watching a tea kettle and saying "Is it
boiling yet? Is it boiling yet?...it's not very helpful.
"
Therefore, according to Emanuel, the Affordable Care Act is fine, but impatient
Americans are the problem. They just need to sit down, shut up, stop sabotaging
the process and be patient.
