"These Are Not The Health Care Plans You're Looking For - Period"

by JASmius

How much BS can the Obama Regime shovel?  Obama rewriting history [again] - new version: "You can keep your plan if there's no change since ObamaCare passed."  Megyn Kelly goes in for another sortie:




What's that?  Barack Obama lied?  The hell you say!  Why, he's never told anything but the truth!  Whether it was George W. Bush....well, okay, he smears his predecessor with blame for everything from the Obamapression to the creepin' crud.  Whether it's been about climate change....um, yeah, he's been pretty fecally mendatious about that topic too.  Ah, but he's been scrupulously upfront on foreign pol....oh, yes, there is Benghazi, and Egypt, and "red lines" in Syria.  Well, I'm sure there must be something about which he's been truthful.  His marriage appears outwardly strong; maybe....naw, he'd never have the balls to tell Scheherezade that her queenly wardrobe doesn't hide all that junk in her trunk.

Again, what sets ObamaCare apart from all those other issues is that it is directly and adversely affecting millions, eventually tens of millions, of Americans directly without it being spoonfed through the Obamedia propaganda apparatus.  This isn't some esoteric subject about which most zombified mall-walkers know zilch, or some he said-she said dispute about something that happened on the other side of the planet; having your health care plan taken away from you by direct Regime order after The One swore up and down, unequivocally and declaratively, that that wouldn't happen just isn't "spinnable".  Especially in the age of youtube, where anybody can call up dozens of clips of Red Barry promising what he today insisted he never said.

The Republican advertising campaign doesn't require much imagination.  Just play any, or all, of those "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan - period" clips followed by his brazen Jedi mind trick nonsense from this morning, complete with psychological projection of his own sins upon his opponents.  And play it and play it and play it.  Make it exceedingly difficult for King Hussein to delay the employer mandate again, so that after the political commissars overrule the policy people once again and do it anyway, the Polaroid public will have a robust context for it as the 2014 midterms approach.

And don't forget the opportunity that comes around again on January 15th.  A shutdown rematch would take place on very different political ground.  As I've said, this is the time to strike, and strike hard, because there will not be another.
