Re: A dishonest presidency
Just heard the gov. made 41 billion on student loans last year. More profit than the oil companies.

Re: A dishonest presidency
obama announced today the success of the rebuild of the obamacare website. It was obvious that the New York Times and the Washington Post aren't taking any more chances with their reputation. Their headlines from today.

Re: A dishonest presidency
50,000 people per day is it? And what does Amazon handle? A million a minute or something like that?
THat is 50,000 at one time.

After the "Fix", it crashed again!

I found this interesting;
—The Hill
"Eleven Republican doctors are running for the Senate, hoping that voters will see their medical expertise as an asset amid the administration’s botched rollout of ObamaCare.
“Doctors are in a very unique position to look at the financing of healthcare,” Rep. Paul Broun, a family physician running for the GOP nomination for Georgia’s open Senate seat, told The Hill. “We go into medicine for one reason, and one reason only: Because we care about people, we want the people who we serve to have a productive, happy, healthy life,” he added. “That’s the kind of policymaker we should have in place in dealing with healthcare policy.”
"...A 2012 Gallup survey rated medical doctors as the third most-trustworthy profession, below only nurses and pharmacists..."
That makes physician candidates well poised to hammer home a main Republican narrative that has emerged in recent weeks — that Democrats who pledged to Americans they could keep their insurance under ObamaCare are untrustworthy.
He noted that on the healthcare law, in particular, “people would probably listen more closely to an office holder or a candidate's position” if he or she is a physician or a nurse.
“For doctors, instead of arguing about things, the whole goal is to find an answer,” she said. “We're trained to be logical thinkers, making our decisions based on evidence as opposed to ideology, or based on emotion.”
NYT Downplays Own Reporting That Obamacare ‘Tech Surge’ Was Only About Six People
Talk about burying the lede. Deep within a 5,000-word story published today in the New York Times about the Obamacare website launch is the very damaging disclosure that the much-vaunted “tech surge” promised by the president in late October was mostly just a publicity stunt. In truth, the number of people brought in to work on the project was no more than “about a half-dozen.”
Not only that, despite the Obama Administration’s claims that it met its November 30 deadline to have things fully operational, it turns out that much of the software code that operates away from website users and passes their information along to insurance companies has not even been written.
That might explain why on Monday that the White House refused to say how many people had actually been able to sign up and enroll in an insurance plan although it did tout repeatedly that 375,000 people had visited the Healthcare.gov website before noon Eastern Time on Monday.
Here is the discussion from Times reporters Sheryl Gay Stolberg and Michael Shear about how the “tech surge” that wasn’t:
The week QSSI took over [at the behest of administration official Jeffrey Zients], HealthCare.gov — a site Mr. Obama once promised would be as easy to shop on as Amazon.com — went dark for 10 to 12 hours, unheard of in the online business world. But the bigger problem was organizational.
“People looked like they were busy,” said Andrew Slavitt, group executive vice president for QSSI and its parent company, Optum, “but it was hard to tell what they were working on and how it fit in.”
But while the contractors were grateful to Mr. Zients for helping to create order, they saw the administration’s “tech surge” — announced by Mr. Obama in the Rose Garden a few days before QSSI took over — as mostly an exercise in public relations.
The announcement conjured images of an army of software engineers descending on the project. In fact, the surge centered on about a half-dozen people who had taken leave from various technology companies to join the effort. They included Michael Dickerson, a site reliability engineer at Google who had also worked on Mr. Obama’s campaign and now draws praise from contractors as someone who is “actually making a difference,” one said.
Even further on is a sole sentence that describes the almost non-existent backend of the website: “At the outset, the team had made what officials call a very intentional decision to focus their repair effort on making HealthCare.gov work better for consumers. That has meant putting off some ‘back-end’ fixes for insurers, who use the site to receive applications and bill the government for subsidy payments.”

How can we ever trust a Democrat again. It is just one lie after another. They have a hell of a lot of nerve sticking their noses into every bodies' business.

It can't handle the 50,000 as promised. It might get fixed in 4 or 5 years. Of course we all know computers and programs are obsolete in a couple of years.

obama calls on bartenders to help sell health care reform
president obama wants young bartenders to give their customers a tip — sign up for health insurance under Obamacare.
Speaking at a White House Youth Summit on Wednesday, the president continued to enlist Americans from all walks to life to join in the effort to sell health care reform.
“No matter how much I care, the truth is, for your friends and your family, the most important source of information is not going to be me. It’s going to be you,” the president said. “If you’re a student body president, set up a conference on campus. If you work at a nonprofit, open your doors and use your email list to help people learn the facts. If you’ve got a radio show, spread the word on air. If you’re a bartender, have a happy hour — and also probably get health insurance because a lot of bartenders don’t have it.”

Happy Bartender Story...
"...A bartender who last week was left a $10,000 tip by a regular customer now has more than the excitement of the offer: she has the cash. Cindy Kienow received a check Tuesday from Applebee's franchise owner JS Ventures Inc. for about $6,300, her share of the tip after taxes. The customer gave Kienow the hefty tip Aug. 27 on a $26 meal. But since he paid by credit card, the restaurant wanted to make sure it was a valid charge before giving Kienow the money. "I've had a lot of fun..."
Re: A dishonest presidency
When you have to work as hard as Obama has to sell something to the public, it can't be good. And I cringe every time I think of the billions that has already been spent on this useless program.

MILLENNIALS TURN AGAINST PRESIDENT OBAMA
SURVEY: Obama’s approval ratings among 18 to 29-year-olds tank, they reject Obamacare in droves, nearly half would support a recall.
More than half of Millennials – 54 percent – disapprove of President Barack Obama’s job performance, and his approval rating among 18- to 29-year-olds has reached its lowest point since the beginning of Obama’s presidency, according to a Harvard University Institute of Politics poll released Wednesday.
In fact, nearly half of Millennial’s surveyed – 47 percent – said they would support a recall of the president.
Among today’s young voters – often labeled as the key demographic that surged Obama to re-election, now only 41 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds approve of his job performance, sinking his approval rating among that age group by 11 points since the institute’s last survey in April 2013.
The poll also found most Millennials reject the Affordable Care Act: Only 39 percent approve of the new federal mandate, while 56 percent disapprove, the survey found. The numbers were nearly identical when the law was referred to as “Obamacare,” where 38 percent approved and 57 percent disapproved.
The poll found by a margin of 5 to 1 that young Americans believe their costs will increase under the healthcare law, and a margin of 2 to 1 that the quality of their healthcare will decrease.
“You can see that there are very few aspects of the healthcare initiative that they approve of,” said John Della Volpe, the institute’s polling director, in a conference call Wednesday morning. “They believe that quality will decrease and prices will increase.”
Millennials are only slightly more likely to view the president favorably compared to the general population, with most national polls reporting his approval rating between 37 and 40 percent.
His numbers have also fallen among young voters of color. Approval among young white voters dropped 10 points to 28 percent, while Hispanics dropped 18 points to 53 percent. Young black voters remain strong in their support, dropping only nine points to a 75 percent approval, the poll found.
What’s more, Obama’s approval rating among college students is down: 11 points to 39 percent.
“(Millennials) are disappointed because they are passionate,” Della Volpe said. “They are passionate about government, they are passionate about America, and they want to go to work for their country.”
The poll also questioned participants in their beliefs about NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden’s legacy. More than half, 52 percent, were unsure whether to label Snowden a patriot or a traitor. Twenty-two percent believe he is a patriot, and twenty-two percent believe he is a traitor.
The survey was completed with 2,089 web-based interviews. Forty-nine percent were male and 51 percent were female. Fifty-nine percent were white, 20 percent were Hispanic, 13 percent were black and seven percent were of another race.
A detailed report on the poll’s findings is available online.

I would have thought that underemployed young adults, many with a college degrees they can't use, hitched to an average of $29,000 in student loan debt might just spurn another monthly payment?

Re: A dishonest presidency
The free ride is over for everyone. They can hate who every they want, it's time for everyone to pay their fair share.
President Obama and the democrats will take the heat and push forward regardless of what all these freeloaders think.
I'm sick of paying for people who don't have insurance.
Thank you Mr. President for at least giving it you best shot and putting up with all the conservative hatefulness.
