Obama will extend the sign up period for ObamaCare till October 2014 citing the computer snafus as the reason. Saving face and ending the shutdown.

NBC News Admits 'Obama Wasn't Ready to be President... Sold to Us Like a Bag of Chips'

Obama served less than a decade in the Illinois Senate with a less-than-stellar record that included numerous instances of voting “present.”

He wasn't prepared to be a douche bag in the Illinois legislature either.

Scarborough admits Obama wasn’t ready to be president; sold to us like bag of chips

MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough is waking up to the fact that despite all the hype that accompanied President Barack Obama when he made his 2008 presidential run, he wasn’t ready for primetime.

“Barack Obama has proven over the past five years that he wasn’t ready to be president of the United States,” Scarborough said on his show Tuesday, according to Newsmax. “And he proves it still today.”

Scarborough said Obama “came out of nowhere” as a freshman senator, and “a couple years later, people elected him president of the United States.”

Obama served less than a decade in the Illinois Senate with a less-than-stellar record that included numerous instances of voting “present.”

He followed that distinguished service with less than a full term in the U.S. Senate, also unimpressive. Most of his time there seemed to be spent running for the presidency.

Yet, solely on the basis that “Barack Obama was against the [Iraq] war,” the Democratic Party “went out and sold him like he was a bag of potato chips, they marketed him [and] he becomes president of the United States,” Scarborough said.

No freaking way JAMES.



This cannot expire right before an election and let the people have a say in it.

Oligarchy don't roll like that.

And we shouldn’t assume that a majority of Americans will like Obamacare once they get to know it. Its list of unintended consequences is already long and still growing. (Just ask the administration officials listening to complaints from organized labor.) If the program lives down to the promise of its website — already arguably the biggest IT disaster in American history — then you can be sure it won’t be popular.

But, again, popularity is overrated. The relevant economist on this point isn’t Higgs but Mancur Olson, who argued that modern societies tend to produce interest groups (also known as lobbies) that undermine the public good for private gain. Virtually everyone wants to get rid of mohair subsidies, but almost no one cares about getting rid of them as much as the subsidy’s recipients care about keeping them. Large majorities of Americans oppose racial preferences, but few are willing to take on the activists — and journalists — eager to demonize critics of such policies. Head Start doesn’t work very well, but it’s politically immortal.

The White House hopes that Obamacare will create a coalition of interests — including such diverse groups as people with preexisting conditions and hospital conglomerates — that will defend the law, regardless of the social costs.

No one knows if that strategy will work. Obamacare is different than the typical program that concentrates benefits while diffusing burdens. It creates new constituencies eager to protect the law, but it also creates huge constituencies eager to get rid of it (at least for them).

Meanwhile, the supposedly addictive subsidies conservatives fear and liberals are pinning their hopes on don’t in fact go to individuals. They go to insurance companies. All consumers see is a discounted insurance plan that may or may not be less expensive than what they used to get or what they hoped to get. And millions of young people are likely to decide it’s in their interest to pay the fines and go without insurance.

I have no idea how it all will play out, but one thing is clear already: The fight didn’t end on October 1. It heated up.

I'd say something like that is a reasonable call. Maybe not a full year, but a push back to next spring or summer wouldn't surprise me a bit.

Yeh, I expect something abbreviated but far enough out to fix the machine, or else it becomes a nightmare. Say, 6 months.

My state tried something similar, put all the agencies under one computer roof, so we could access Medicaid, welfare, criminal, tags, etc. for every person. It took 10 years, and it still didn't work, plus it generated 40 pages of paper record for every person in the system. In 1985 it was one page, by 1993 it was 5 pages, by 2006 it was 40 pages.

That would be the smart thing to do, so what are the chances of that? Just askin'.

I'd say the chances are pretty good since it also allows them to turn their full attention to the debt ceiling issue which is a far tougher nut to crack. Even if they try to do nothing more than "kick the can down the road" it will remain a tough nut to crack because that is precisely what the Tea Party Republicans are committed to NOT doing.

Obama runs the risk of showcasing a fiasco, the smart thing is to send ObamaCare back to GM for a serious fix. Otherwise he's walking around with his dick hanging out of his pants with one shoe on. The chances? Slight and none.

Good reasons are there for doing exactly like you and the good Colonel suggest, but that doesn't mean Obama sees it that way. I think he is owned by the ideologue Valeri Jarrett and she is both tough and stupid when it comes to being pragmatic.

Notice he is already showcasing a fiasco, but tries to spin his way out of it instead of correcting it.

Must be some good pussy or she pees on him.
