KS has now become the modern equivalent of several historic figures who lied to the world without blinking. Poland, Crimea, Ukraine, "healthcare", all promises reversed.

Too bad the press/media isn't available to help the 99% hold their government accountable.

Congress has very limited powers when an administartion goes rogue, it had always been the press who kept them honest or at least a bit red faced when they lied. Obama and his henchmen are pracriced in lying without their faces turning red.


When the government tells an unequivical lie as measured by video and audio and it goes without consequence, we know for certain we are in the shadow of doom as a society and nation.

And this is all done without any legislative amendments to the law. Pfffft, who needs a Congress, Obama has a phone and a pen.

A brief history of Obamacare delays - David Nather and Susan Levine - POLITICO.com

Working backward, here’s a brief history of some of the most prominent Obamacare delays:

March 25: Final enrollment deadline extended. The March 31 deadline — the end of enrollment for 2014 — will be loosened for people with special sign-up circumstances.

March 14: High-risk pools extended. The special, temporary coverage for people with serious pre-existing conditions — which was supposed to last only until the health insurance exchanges were in place — was extended a third time for another month.

Feb. 10: Employer mandate delayed. This time, businesses with between 50 and 100 workers were given until 2016 to offer coverage, and the mandate will be phased in for employers with more than 100 workers.

Jan. 14: High-risk pools extended. The high-risk insurance pools, which originally had been slated to close Jan. 1, had already been extended once.

Dec. 24: Enrollment deadline extended. In a message on HealthCare.gov, customers were told they could get help finishing their Jan. 1 applications if they were already in line on Dec. 24.

Dec. 12: Enrollment deadline extended. Customers on the federal enrollment website were given nearly two more weeks to sign up for coverage effective Jan. 1.

Nov. 27: Small Business Health Options Program (known as SHOP) delayed. Online enrollment for the federal health insurance exchanges for small businesses was delayed.

Nov. 21: Open enrollment delayed for 2015. The administration pushed back next year’s enrollment season by a month.

July 2: Employer mandate delayed. The administration declared that it wouldn’t enforce the fines in 2014 for businesses with more than 50 full-time workers who don’t offer health coverage. The fines were pushed back to 2015.

Nov. 15, 2012: Exchange deadline delayed. The Department of Health and Human Services gave states an extra month to decide whether they would set up their own health insurance exchanges — a decision it announced just one day before the original deadline

So since the Obama administration is now implementing delays and what not on this law as suggested by Repubs, are they "extremists" and "domestic terrorists" as well?

I don't think we have developed the proper terminology to fully describe what Obama, the democrats and his admin people are yet.

We have not had this type of lawless tyranny from government in this country yet. Maybe we need to turn to Europe for the proper term to describe them, lord knows the Europeans have had plenty of megalomaniacs, tyrants and usurpers.

Funny, I remember many, including in the entertainment industry, practically frothing at the mouth referring to Bush in these terms. Yet now they are silent on the Obama administration. The double standard is astounding and precisely why they cannot be taken the least bit seriously.

I agree with you, but I think there are many clues in the teachings of Saul Alinsky, Cloward and Pivens, black liberation theology and the like.

They are stealth anarchists, although that is not really sufficient.

Sebelius: The Baghdad Bob of Health Insurance...


Sorry, but Barack "If you like your policy you can keep your policy" Obama still retains that title.
