Obama Claims Ignorance of Failure Despite IG’s Clear Warnings in August

Evidently, the administration has chosen Kathleen Sebellius as the designated scapegoat for the ObamaCare fiasco: President Barack Obama didn’t know of problems with the Affordable Care Act’s website — despite insurance companies’ complaints and the site’s crashing during a test run — until after its now well-documented abysmal launch, the nation’s health chief told CNN […]

Great Moments In Public Sector Accountability, Waxman Edition

by Smitty Head over to Breitbart for a clip in which the laughable Harry Waxman (D-Mordor) tries to tell us that Sebelius is doing a swell job, and that contractors failed to live up to their obligations, resulting in the ObamaCare debacle. As Knopfler notes, “They punish the monkey, and let the organ grinder go.”

Brief Note for @LeftIsRight4U: Why I Never Argue Politics With Liberals

My tendency toward vehement expression makes me ill-suited for discussions intended to convert people to my point of view. And, honestly, I consider such arguments a waste of time. Democrats tend to be deficient in either knowledge or character. If their allegiance to Satan’s Own Party is a result of ignorance, they will either wise […]

by Smitty God bless you Ted Cruz. Worth savoring every moment: @rdbrewer4 It was a substantial lunch. It's fair to say @TedCruz did yeoman's work, & perhaps put a dent in the lunch under consideration. — Smitty #GoCruz (@smitty_one_each) October 6, 2013 via @rdbrewer4

‘Retreating Into Masada Would Not Save The GOP Zealots From The Legion,’ Spake Senator Harry ‘Biggus Dickus’ Reid

by Smitty Congresswoman Michele Bachmann remains inspirational: According to Bachmann, the general agreement among Republicans is that the resistance to President Obama’s agenda surrounding the shutdown has now expanded beyond Obamacare, thanks to Obama’s intransigence. “This is a lot bigger than Obamacare,” Bachmann said. “This is about whether this country is going to succumb to […]

It’s a Good Thing @GabrielMalor Isn’t Trying to Win Any Popularity Contests

The morning Open Thread at AOSHQ gives their resident Eeyore a chance to voice his dissent from the GOP shutdown strategy: So the score is: conservatives didn’t manage to stop Obamacare.
