Success has many fathers… — 18 Comments

  1. I imagine that, when the smoke clears, Bush and Cheney will be found to be at the center of it all.

    …ain’t it the truth.

    …sigh.

  2. About “if only Obama knew”: Tom Maguire at JustOneMinute has an interesting take on that. He thinks that Obama may have been kept out of the loop about the website’s problems because

    …there may have been an odd benefit to keeping the President in the dark (and feeding him BS, natch) about the status of the impending website fail. By September it was clear to all (and reported in the President’s preferred paper [the NY Times]) that Republicans would be likely to target ObamaCare in the upcoming Continuing Resolution and debt limit fights.

    Those were fights the President wanted to have so that he could shut down everything, blame the Republicans, rally his base, and have some stronger message for 2014 than “Let’s fail at gun control – again”. Imagine the awkwardness if the President’s team had been trying to spend September vigorously opposing a delay in ObamaCare while simultaneously announcing that the website launch would be, well, delayed. My goodness – that whole fight might have been avoided, and what would those fund-raising appeals say now?

    Although I think that Obama more than likely did know about the problems, this would explain why they decided to go ahead and launch on October 1, even with all the “glitches”.

  3. Daniel Henninger’s ‘how the cow ate the cabbage’ piece in the WSJ is a MUST READ. Plu-perfect and absolutely On-Point for the catastrophic shipwreck of this presidency.

  4. Jarret would have had serious problems trying to get Obama to “work” on something like a website. Easier just to keep the puppet in the dark.

  5. Obama gives orders, apppoints barely competent aides to enact them, and then goes golfing. Said aides know better than upset him with details. He is not that bright, very superficial, and arrogant as hell. I sure wouldn’t want to work for or with him.

  6. Didn’t take too long for them to get Ezra back in the corral, did it? Just when you think he might have some journalistic integrity.
    In fairness to Obama, I’m sure he wanted his healthcare team to go golfing with him. But he already had a foursome, so it’s not really his fault. It’s hard work playing 18 holes. Especially when you play both days of the weekend. I hear that it’s a requirement for claiming to be a good father, too. Something about all that time away from the kids.

  7. “it’s the Republicans, in the conservatory, with the candlestick.”

    Klein is not going to win Clue. It was Joe the Plumber in the library with a wrench.

  8. Closed Room Mysteries, something the Japanese introduced to me. Although they found it in mystery novels.

  9. Nobody wanted to tell the Sultan, Stalin, or Hitler the bad news. Because the expected reaction was that the messenger, his family, and a whole horde of people would be purged.

    Just look at that Hitler youtube video for a case example of what happens when Dear Leader finds out. If only Stalin knew… then we’d all be dead.

  10. One nutjob here said that if Democrats were this smart about intended failure Care, they should be elected for life.

    I say that if Bush and Cheney are still to blame, they should still be in power, instead of the kiddies taking charge.

  11. Fox News’ Neil Cavuto thinks the Department of Homeland Security’s $80 million outlay on armed guards to protect government buildings is directly connected to food stamp cuts set to take effect on November 1st, a day on which all hell could break loose.

    The DHS announced its intention to hire a raft of new armed guards to prepare for “public demonstrations” and “civil disturbances” in upstate New York, adding that some of the guards would be posted outside IRS facilities.

    Covering the story on his Fox News show, Cavuto said, “November 1st could be a very very iffy kind of a day….this could be all hell breaks loose day,” noting that the armed guards were not to protect government buildings from terrorist threats but “From American citizens because on November 1st the food stamp program is set to start decreasing the amount that is allocated to food stamp recipients….and they’re worried that violence will ensue.”

    Cavuto’s concern that the cut in food stamp benefits could spark violence is legitimate given what happened when the EBT card system crashed for just hours earlier this month, prompting mini-riots and looting at several Walmart stores.

    A scheduled cut in food stamp benefits which most Americans are seemingly unaware of threatens to cause unrest next month when families will be hit with a $36 dollar per month reduction in credits.

    Cavuto’s guest Niger Innis, National Spokesperson for the Congress of Racial Equality, labeled the prospect “frightening,” adding “We are on a slow march to becoming Greece,” while blaming the fact that some 50 million Americans’ are dependent on food stamps on big government’s failure to spark a proper economic recovery.

    Innis said that food stamp riots may not occur this cycle, but that they were a real threat for the future and that America was heading towards a European-style socialism where the population embraced an entitlement mentality, and that Americans should be “liberated” from their dependency on welfare.

    The notion that Homeland Security is preparing for riots is an admitted fact. In June, it emerged that the DHS was purchasing top of the range body armor and helmets for FPS (Federal Protective Service) guards as part of preparations for “riot control situations.”

    The federal agency also ran a controversial drill last year dubbed “Operation Shield,” during which FPS agents armed with semiautomatic guns were posted outside a Social Security office in Florida.

  12. art…

    The Wan and his superiors have Cloward-Piven on their calendars.

    Soros surely understands that Barry is a fulsome Gonnabee; whose destiny is to destroy any entity that he’s put in executive charge of.

    (See John Wareham: Basic Business Types)

    ISBN-13: 978-0689117565

    “This book was simply spellbinding. I never read a book that understood the psychology of the workers in the work environment as well as this one. Other psychology book usually throw banal generalities at the reader, but the author has the experience to draw from to correctly label the personalities. ”

    ==========

    His fate is to go up like a rocket and fall back like a stick.

    He’s a Reactive Dependent.

    Functions as an Angry Autocrat when in an executive role.

    [The latter aspect is now filtering through the media — if you look for it.]

    Normally, one should expect a Gonnabee to bankrupt any organization — typically in the most speedy manner possible.
    This occurs steady and slowly… and then… all at once.
