The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

Looks like the ACA is going down in flames.....Obama the rockstar is no more.

Remember, these are the people that are going to fund it.

ObamaCare Is Succeeding In Spite Of TeaBagger Lies!

Remember this story?
Quoted Text
Cornelius Kelly, who was dismayed to learn that the New York State health insurance
plans could cover his wife and three older children, but that he would have to buy a separate
plan for his 18-month-old daughter.


The NY Post reported the 'story' and FoxSnooze featured it that afternoon!
Only one problem...  IT WAS All A F'N LIE!  

TeaBagger Kelly, who in 2011 ran and lost on the Conservative Party line for a seat on
the Suffolk County legislature, HAD ONLY APPLIED FOR 3 OF HIS CHILDREN EVEN THOUGH
HE HAS 4!
(another manufactured TeaBagger controversy)
Quoted Text
A family, which in New York is considered to be an individual plus his or her spouse
and all their children, can be charged no more than 2.85 times the price of an individual's
plan. It doesn't matter how many children are in the family or how old they are.


Of course this TeaBagger Lie will be believed by the Rabid Right long after the hoax is
exposed!  

If all ya read is Right Wing BS... All you'll know is Right Wing BS!

Looks like all the lies, deceptions, and double talk are really starting to hit hard with everyone.

I mean zOMG! Even with 95% of the press totally trying their damn hardest to keep this guy afloat, he's crashing like Comet ISON into the sun.

Everyone is starting to figure out that something is going very wrong.

Historically US Presidents typically drop in approval ratings as their presidency progresses.
The exceptions are Ike and Bill Clinton.  Clinton ended with a higher approval rating
than when he beganhis presidency, even in the light of the GOP Monica impeachment!
At the time of the 2000 elections, Clinton was so popular that (if it were possible to run again)
Clinton outpolled both GW Bush and Al Gore!

Hey look!
Another Obama lie!

White House admits fabricating story about Obama meeting his uncle

The White House on Thursday admitted fabricating an earlier claim that President Obama had never met his Kenyan uncle, Onyango “Omar” Obama.

Approximately 3 years ago, as Uncle Omar was fighting deportation following a DUI charge, the White House asserted to The Boston Globe without any apparent qualification that Onyango Obama “has never met his famous nephew.”

That statement was untrue.

Uncle Omar testified at an immigration hearing earlier this week that the younger Obama had briefly lived with him for several weeks in the 1970s.

That testimony called attention to the White House’s contradictory statement and led the administration to recant the untruth in a new statement to The Boston Globe on Thursday:


“The president first met Omar Obama when he moved to Cambridge for law school,” said White House spokesman Eric Schultz. “The president did stay with him for a brief period of time until his apartment was ready. After that, they saw each other once every few months, but after law school they fell out of touch. The president has not seen him in 20 years, has not spoken with him in 10.”

Yea like WE KNOW WHERE THE WMD'S ARE IN IRAQ!  which costs hundreds of thousands of lives!


So "younger Obama had briefly lived with him for several weeks in the 1970s"

A national security scandal???
An important fact which may have swayed voters???
Or a personal issue?

Add this untruth with all the outright lies about Obamacare, Fast and Furious, IRS debacle, and it adds up to an administration that many people are now starting to see as the most corrupt to every grace the oval office. It's the Chicago way.

And Rev Wright, The bogus Benghazi Scandal, The Kenyan Birth Certificate, Monica's Bangs,
The fist bump, etc etc etc.  No one gives a crap except those who hate Obama anyway.  
If any of that mattered he wouldn't have won a record setting reelection!  

Quoted Text
The president nationally won 65.9 million votes -- or 51.1 percent -- against Republican
challenger Mitt Romney, who took 60.9 million votes and 47.2 percent of the total cast.

Obama is the first president to achieve the 51 percent mark in two elections since
Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Young Americans are turning against Barack Obama and Obamacare, according to a new survey of millennials, people between the ages of 18 and 29 who are vital to the fortunes of the president and his signature health care law.

The most startling finding of Harvard University's Institute of Politics: A majority of Americans under age 25--the youngest millennials--would favor throwing Obama out of office.

The survey, part of a unique 13-year study of the attitudes of young adults, finds that America's rising generation is worried about its future, disillusioned with the U.S. political system, strongly opposed to the government's domestic surveillance apparatus, and drifting away from both major parties. "Young Americans hold the president, Congress and the federal government in less esteem almost by the day, and the level of engagement they are having in politics are also on the decline," reads the IOP's analysis of its poll. "Millennials are losing touch with government and its programs because they believe government is losing touch with them."

The results blow a gaping hole in the belief among many Democrats that Obama's two elections signaled a durable grip on the youth vote.   http://www.nationaljournal.com/politics/millennials-abandon-obama-and-obamacare-20131204

5 Key Findings From Harvard's New Research On Millennials
Benjamin Cosman's avatar image By Benjamin Cosman  10 hours ago 24 COMMENTS  |  100 SHARES

Harvard’s Institute of Politics has released a fall poll from its Survey of Young Americans’ Attitudes toward Politics and Public Service, and it offers an interesting window into the millennial take on government at this particular moment (or rather the moment of October 31 to November 11, when the survey was conducted).

Though it’s never a good idea to put too much stock in one survey, this particular Harvard poll paints a striking portrait of a disillusioned generation, losing faith and interest in the political system.

Here are the 5 Key takeaways:

1. Millennials want to yank their elected officials out of office

Via: Harvard IOP
A majority of people ages 18-29 would replace all members of Congress if they could and a near majority would replace their specific representative.

The millennial view on replacing President Barack Obama is split by ages. In the 18-24 age group, 52% would recall and replace the president, but only 40% would among 25-29 year-olds. Nearly a fifth of millennials that voted for Obama in 2012 would not vote for him if the election were held again. Good thing Obama doesn't have to run for re-election.

2. Millennial approval of Obama is the lowest it has ever been

Via: Harvard IOP
Harvard found that only 41% of millennials approve of Obama's job performance, while 54% disapprove. That's the lowest approval rating the IOP has found since the beginning of Obama's presidency and over a 10% drop since this spring.

But Congress shouldn't get too excited. If anything, they're doing much worse than the president. 35% of millennials approve of Democrats in Congress, and just 19% approve of Republicans.

No wonder young people want everyone out of office. They don't think anyone is doing a good job.

3. The youngest voters are leaving the Democratic Party

Via: Harvard IOP
More millennials still identify as Democrat than Republic, but the trends are working against Obama's party. Though Democratic identification among ages 25-29 has remained stable since last year, and has even increased since the first year of Obama's presidency, those identifying as Democrat among ages 18-24 is down 5% since last year, and 12% since 2009.

4. Millennials aren't lining up to vote next year

Via: Harvard IOP
Just over a third of millennials say they will definitely vote in the 2014 midterm elections. Though midterm voter participation rates are never high, this is down from four years ago, particularly among Black millennials (down 12%).

Millennials are dissatisfied with their government, but they're lacking the motivation or interest to do anything about it. Even if a majority would recall Congress if they could, millennials don't seem amped up to actually do it.

5. The group Obamacare needs most isn't buying in

Via: Harvard IOP
The Harvard IOP survey shows Obamacare is in dire trouble with millennials. Not only does a majority disapprove of the health care reform, but a majority also believes it'll cause their health care costs to increase, and a plurality thinks the quality of care they receive will decrease.

For a law that hinges on millennial participation, it's clear Obama needs to do a better job appealing to his target audience. As it stands now, less than one third of millennials plan to enroll in coverage.

When you're bleak, you're bleak. And this is bleak.


this is from a harvard status quo extortion institution....


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.


STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS
