Barbara Walters on Obama: “We thought he was going to be the next Messiah”. Yeah, we already knew they thought this but it’s odd to hear one of ’em actually admit it. (Are you sure you meant to use the past tense “thought” there, Babs?) [Skip the mindless chatter to the relevant part 1:25 in.]

Obama: Everybody hates me!!! “White House insiders say the deeply depressed Commander-in-Chief is hardly eating or sleeping, hasn’t talked to First Lady Michelle, 49, in weeks and is convinced everyone hates him!” OK, we concede that the National Enquirer is not necessarily reliable, but they did get John Edwards right. And when was the last time you saw something concerning Obama in the “legitimate” media that you would bet what’s left of the ranch on, hmmm?

With Affordable Care Act, canceled policies for NYC professionals. “Many in New York’s professional and cultural elite have long supported President Obama’s health care plan. But now, to their surprise, thousands of writers, opera singers, music teachers, photographers, doctors, lawyers and others are learning that their health insurance plans are being canceled and they may have to pay more to get comparable coverage, if they can find it.” That’s a shame. Oh, well.

Obamacare has lost the uninsured. No, it’s not another web site glitch: “What that means is that regardless of how bad the old system—the system that for whatever reason left them uninsured—was, a majority of people without health coverage now think that Obamacare makes it worse.” Making problems worse has been a hallmark the Obama Administration.

David Brooks: What America needs now is a stronger presidency with “unified authority”. Or maybe someone who irons his pants more often. Geez, is every pundit at America’s birdcage liner of record an authoritarian-loving poophead?

Snow falls in Cairo, first in 100+ years. Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night will stay Al Gore from screaming “climate change.”

Politifact readers pick “If you like your health care plan, you can keep it” as the 2013 Lie of the Year. It got 59% of the vote (no other lie reached double digits.) “‘If you like your health care, you can keep it,’ will go down in history as Obama’s ‘Read my lips,’ ‘I’ve never had sexual relations,’ and ‘I am not a crook.’ ” Nah, it’s gonna be bigger than all of those put together; the sh*tstorm is just gettin’ started. More here.

Jimmy Kimmel has a sign language interpreter translate the delusional fraud from the Mandela Funeral. Not Obama but the other delusional fraud. But the result does sound an awful lot like a big 0 off-the-cuff speech…

The real life of Julia (‘s policy.) The faceless gal struggles with a brainless healthcare law.

The rich do not pay the most taxes, they pay ALL the taxes. CBO report says “…top 40% of wage earners in America pay 106% of the taxes. The bottom 40%…pay negative 9%.” [Video at the link.] Class-warfare politics is a game: Politicians blather about “income inequality” and “the rich not paying their fair share.” Voters elect them. Pols then throw the voters a few crumbs while busily making the rich (and themselves) richer thru crony capitialism, bailouts, quantitative easing, etc, etc. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Photographer who took POTUS selfie photo ashamed he broke news. “Why do people care about a selfie?” he said. “This is a sad reflection of our society.” Oh, boo hoo. It’s an even sadder reflection of your “profession” that this bothers you. Just pretend it was Boooosh and you’ll feel better.

Sign language interpreter at Nelson Mandela’s memorial “was a fake who made up his own hand gestures”. “Mr Jordaan claimed the man, who signed for a portion of the ceremony including Barack Obama’s speech, was simply making up his own signs.” Sounds like a match made in Potemkin heaven.

Doctor posts newspaper notice: closing due to Obamacare. If you like your doctor, you can watch him close his practice.

The toilet of the future corrects the mistake we’re all making in the bathroom. This could make it a lot harder for the next Affordable Care Act to come out.

Close inspection of alleged “draconian” cuts in Food Stamp program. “…the alleged $40 billion in cuts is really only $4 billion in a close to $80 billion program. They arrive at $40 billion by multiplying $4 billion by 10 years.” Not to mention the fact the program has more than doubled since 2007. Does “draconian” mean “hard to see without a microscope”?

WaPo reporter: Bashir “fired” over Palin remarks because outrage never abated. “I think the reality is probably that he was asked to leave,” he continued. “That is to say he was fired, but in the legal world in which we live, perhaps they couldn’t exactly say that.” Like Alinsky said, make ’em live up to their own rules.

CA county censors government employee who dares criticize Obamacare. Story is she said something about people having policies cancelled due to Obamacare then was allegedly reprimanded “because an unidentified person had overheard the small talk and been offended.” The “offendee” is likely to need medical treatment come 2014 – if he/she can still get it.

Iran foreign minister alludes to deceiving Obama administration during nuclear negotiations. “Mohammad Javad Zarif called America’s assertions about the interim nuclear agreement reached recently in Geneva ‘nonsense’ and said the Islamic Republic’s strategy will collapse the sanctions program.” Obama tells Americans they can keep their health insurance and they find out they can’t. Obama tells Iran they can’t keep their nuke program and they find out they can. With Obama, it pays to assume anything he says means the opposite.

Black Friday protests at Walmart staffed by professional activists. But the media is fond of telling us it’s the protests of ObamaCare and the Porkulus that are merely “astroturf.”

The Once Great City of Havana. “The biggest problem with foreign journalists when it comes to Cuba is that they take everything at face value. ‘So-and-so said he’s very happy that the revolution gave him an education and that he has free healthcare.’ Yet so-and-so ain’t so happy because his daughter has to sell her ass to tourists because while he’s educated, he can’t earn a decent wage. And so-and-so isn’t so happy that he’s got to find medicines and other medical supplies to take to his daughter while she’s in the hospital. That kind of stuff never gets reported.” That seems to be the way they treat Castro Jr. in this country as well.

Elizabeth Warren launches war on critical think tanks. “Warren has launched a campaign to force financial institutions to disclose support for think tanks just days after a Democratic, but not progressive, think tank criticized her…” Tanks that criticize a fine progressive like Fauxchahontas can’t be think tanks, Kimosabe. Every Soviet 1/32 Cherokee knows that.

Legend. “…the president has been caught spinning fictions so often that it is now reasonable to ask, what if it’s all fiction?” Obama just doesn’t tell big lies, he may actually be a big lie.

California Air Resources Board: Let’s help poor buy energy-efficient cars as a way to clean the air. “In one scenario posed by the agency, a ‘voucher’ might even pay the full price for a Nissan Leaf, an electric car with an MSRP above $21,000…” Why stop there? Maybe CARB should buy everyone a bullet train in order to go bankrupt clean the air eleventy times faster!

Young invincibles spurn O-Care. “…insurance coverage of any kind remains a tough sell for people in their twenties, many of whom are eligible to stay on their parents’ plans through age 26. …many young people might not see enrollment as being in their financial interest.” Gee, who coulda seen that one coming? Besides anybody not in the Obama Administration, that is?

Millennials abandon Obama and Obamacare. “A majority of Americans under age 25–the youngest millennials–would favor throwing Obama out of office.” Just call us “young at heart.”
