Landrieu Flashback – “If the People Do Not Like This Law (ACA) They Can Unelect Us!”
Landrieu Flashback – “If the People Do Not Like This Law (ACA) They Can Unelect Us!” That’s exactly what they did!
Say what? President says ObamaCare will cover natural disasters like the recent Hawaiian earthquake.
We’ve been out of town for a couple days and apparently missed the story about that horrible Hawaiian earthquake.
President Obama told Fox News’ Bret Baier that he supports “The Louisiana Purchase” in Obamacare because it will cover natural disasters like the recent Hawaiian earthquake.

President Obama told Fox News’ Bret Baier that he supports “The Louisiana Purchase” in Obamacare because it will cover natural disasters like the recent Hawaiian earthquake.
Obama: It also affects Hawaii, which went through an earthquake. So that’s not just a Louisiana provision. That is a provision that affects every state that is going through a natural catastrophe.
Of course, there’s been no devastating Hawaiian earthquake. Did he mean Haiti? Or Chile? Or has he given up cigarettes and returned to the wacky tabacky?

SEC. 2006. SPECIAL ADJUSTMENT TO FMAP DETERMINATION FOR CERTAIN STATES RECOVERING FROM A MAJOR DISASTER.
Section 1905 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396d), as amended by sections 2001(a)(3) and
2001(b)(2), is amended— (1) in subsection (b), in the first sentence, by striking ‘‘subsection (y)’’ and inserting ‘‘subsections (y) and (aa)’’; and (2) by adding at the end the following new subsection:‘‘(aa)(1) Notwithstanding subsection (b), beginning January 1, 2011, the Federal medical assistance percentage for a fiscal year for a disaster-recovery FMAP adjustment State shall be equal to the following:
‘(A) In the case of the first fiscal year (or part of a fiscal year) for which this subsection applies to the State, the Federal medical assistance percentage determined for the fiscal year without regard to this subsection and subsection (y), increased by 50 percent of the number of percentage points by which the Federal medical assistance percentage determined for the State for the fiscal year without regard to this subsection and subsection (y), is less than the Federal medical assistance percentage determined for the State for the preceding fiscal year after the application of only subsection (a) of section 5001 of Public Law 111–5 (if applicable to the preceding fiscal year) and without regard to this subsection, subsection (y), and subsections (b) and (c) of section 5001 of Public Law 111–5.
‘‘(B) In the case of the second or any succeeding fiscal year for which this subsection applies to the State, the Federal medical assistance percentage determined for the preceding fiscal year under this subsection for the State, increased by 25 percent of the number of percentage points by which the Federal medical assistance percentage determined for the State for the fiscal year without regard to this subsection and subsection (y), is less than the Federal medical assistance percentage determined for the State for the preceding fiscal year under this subsection.

Joe Biden’s blunder of the day
We’re thinking of making this a daily feature. Because Blunderin’ Joe Biden provides plenty of material.
“What I don’t understand from Governor Jindal is what would he do,” Biden said on the CBS Early Show. “In Louisiana there’s 400 people a day losing their jobs. What’s he doing?”
Then Joe’s fantasy ran smack dab into reality when Shreveport, Louisiana-based KSLA-TV investigated the real situation.
“In December, Louisiana was the only state in the nation besides the District of Columbia — according to the national press release — that added employment over the month,” they reported. “The state gained 3,700 jobs for the seasonally adjusted employment.”
The source of Biden’s information is often mysterious, but it doesn’t match stats from the labor department. At 5.9%, Louisiana’s unemployment rate is far lower than the national average of 7.2%.
Who writes this guy’s material? He’s hilarious.
