Only a deluded person would believe that temporary website glitches would prevent an uninsured individual from signing up for #Obamacare

Got on the ACA site for the first time this p.m. No problems & 45 minutes later I'm fully signed up for coverage. pic.twitter.com/pLaep6LS1N

@mcpli @EricaGrieder Yeah but we never hear the stories of ppl who got on and 45 minutes later were terminated by the death panels.

Y'know the meme that Obamacare has led to part-time jobs?

Over the past year, we've created 1640k full-time jobs & lost 287k part-time jobs

#Obamacare is more than a website - it's access to affordable, quality health insurance for all. http://t.co/I9fut78d3a probs are temporary.

This comment cracked me up.

I’m a gay, black man, hardcore democrat in New York and they put…IDAHO.

I belong in the District of Columbia!!!!! I am going to build a little house right next to PBO’s ‘big house’!
LOL! It gave me D.C too! There is no rhyme or reason – I think a lot of people get D.C 🙂
okay, I got DC too !
UTAH???? WTF????
I know I don’t belong in Nebraska. (retakes test) (test is a sham)
It put me in North Carolina! I know POTUS loves it there but NO WAY!!!
It puts me, very appropriately, in CALIFORNIA! I love Washington and my 800 sq. ft. treehouse, but I’m so homesick for California after 16 months here that I could cry!
GEORGIA???? FUCK THAT!
They put me in Georgia too. Wouldn’t survive anyplace in the south.
I know someone from here in CA who recently moved to Atlanta and was treated like complete shit when he got there because he had CA plates on his car.
He came home.
Me too. I’m from MN and they put me in the deep south. GA. LOL
Me too! No offense to anyone who lives in Georgia and likes it there, but I’ll stay in Oregon, thank you anyway!
Oregon! (from Wisconsin – and I am NOT an extrovert!)
Arkansas…ARKANSAS….jeeze don’t send me someplace worse than North Carolina….I was hoping for Maryland, personally. I just know I would seamlessly fit in there….near the water, near PBO, progressive government…
Saints Preserve Us: Florida 😯
I belong in Vermont!!!
The last Tweet is freaking brilliant.
Heck all the tweets are. But the last One spoke to me……more 🙂
First!!!!!! Thank yooooooooooooooou UT!
Danny has addled your counting abilities.
#DannysFault It’s blissful LL, I can blame the little fella for everything now!
Hahahahahahahaha……I see your counting abilities have gone the way of Manchester United’s football abilities.
*Ahem* Chelsea CRUSHED FC Schalke 3 – 0 today. Yeah, you read right. 3 – 0 !!!!!!!!!!!! Welcome back Jose Mourinho. 😀
98% of my patrons are lovely, warm, wonderful people. Today the 2% have taken over.
And OH SHIT, how the hell did I forget about the CL today?! Oh yeah, reference my comment above.
That last tweet is an outrage – reporting this site to WordPress for offensive material *right now*.
Bahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahaha….while you were having bonding time with Danny, Chelsea was DOMINATING.
😆
Just you wait til Danny’s Man United clothes/toys/bedding/furniture/etc arrive, this place will be rockin’ in red 😎
Ewwwwwww……Nope. I believe Danny’s Chelsea apparel will be arriving in 3…2…1.
I hear blue goes very well with a shiny black coat.
If Torres could just manage to score in league games, my happiness would be complete.
So far so good. He scored two of the three goals today. So the money isn’t a complete waste.
I’ll have to catch (hopefully) the replay later. Annoying insane patrons were being annoying and insane.

You mean like Moyes managing MUFC to a top 4 finish this season? 🙂
Oooooooooooo………ZING and BUUUUUUUURN! 😀
Hi-Five, LL.
😆 I’m just in one of those moods today. ^5
Evil.
I was speaking with my MUFC-loving colleague yesterday about various other things. I wasn’t even going to bring up the season, but he couldn’t hold back. He is NOT a happy camper.
I, meanwhile, have a tasteful fruit basket ready to ship to the Glazers.
I won’t despair just yet….. but I’m getting close. Problem? These United players have no fear of Moyes, Fergie made them tremble in their boots. Not giving up though, all will be good. Ish.
I pretty much know that my Lakers are going to be abominable this season. No way to put lipstick on that pig. At least my satellite provider doesn’t carry the Lakers’ network, so I won’t be subjected to their awfulness too often.

No fan of McAuliffe but he is eons better than Cuccinelli
AGREED. Not a fan of McAuliffe but he’s a Democrat!
OMG, I was thinking that we were going to have to follow this for another year and wondering what all the polling was for this early. LOL, didn’t know it was THIS November. Thank God and glad to see that Hillary’s former POS (oops Campaign Advisor) might soon have a more worthwhile job. 🙂
The MSM/GOP trying to remain relevant
oops. please delete. I didn’t see the remaining clips in this link. totally inappropriate some of them.
Okie dokie, Nospin. I removed the link at your request.
This is the most awesome commercial on TV right now:
“Werido!”
I love this commercial.
the baby as Princess Leia cracks me up with her facial expression
They can insult him all they want but he is still and will remain President of the United States until January 2017!
And then he will be written about in history books for generations to come!!
Wow,,, I was just thinking out loud…..Isaac Hayes had he lived….could ave Used this excellent Tweet of yours Donna and could have had a deliciously updated version of the Theme song: Shaft
But the Title would be “Barack” or “Obama” 😉
I wouldn’t include Palin in that. She beat herself.
They all did!
Exactly donna. We LOVE our President. And the media can’t stand it! 🙂

At least two-thirds of our miseries spring from human stupidity, human malice and those great motivators and justifiers of malice and stupidity: idealism, dogmatism and proselytizing zeal on behalf of religious or political ideas.- Aldous Huxley

While watching Rev. Al, I learn that there are some Republicans who is comparing Obamacare to Katrina and the Iraq war. I had to say “What the Hell”. Thousands Americans died in Katrina, 4000 soldier died in Iraq war, the war cost us a trillion dollars, and Obamacare is having trouble with the health care website. Where is the comparison?
in some other universe, maybe, far far away, annieella

Do you have a DVR? 🙂
Yes it IS WISE. But more importantly, I find the leading questions placed by Dellorto inappropriate. Sebellius isn’t going anywhere. The media is using her as a scapegoat – like they did Eric Holder, Tim Geithner, VP Biden, John Kerry, Susan Rice, etc.

Bill deBlasio debate #2 coming up in minutes on CBS NY.
The other news item I’m especially interested in today is that Ohio is joining the Medicaid expansion and how many other GOP governors will come to their senses and do what is right for their constituents.
“…. how many other GOP governors will come to their senses and do what is right for their constituents.”
Well, the insurance companies better make them come to their senses soon because those GOP Governors, by not implementing the #ACA are accelerating the emergence of Medicare as Single Payer.
Hope soon to be Mayor Bill deBlasio does exceptionally well, Vicki!! Rooting for him, for sure.
#FORWARD
Yes WE Can
Booman has a piece today where he lays out how it’s becoming more likely. I’ve been writing about it since I started blogging. It’s in the air.
As you know, LL, I’ve been tweeting (and writing to) Madame Speaker for quite some time on the issue. I do not consider it far fetched. It is the only path Rs in anything other than ‘pure red’ districts should consider following if they want to remain Federal employees in 2015 🙂
Good piece by Booman – I had only seen the last portion of it earlier. Obviously, agree. Hope folk continue to send encouraging messages to Madame Speaker, Whip Hoyer, Rep Clyburn and others – including the 87 Rs who voted to re-open the government and not default. We only need 18 to join in with the 200 Dems to make it happen. Would be nice to 30 or 40.
That stupid test said I belong in GA….my dying ass! AZ is bad enough, thanks very much:)
DF, they said I belonged in GA too. No way will I ever live anywhere in the south.
I belonged in DC. I’ll stick with Cali.
Wise choice 🙂
Yes…wise choice:)
We must be on the same planet DF. They sent me to GA too. 🙂
You, Tally and me…the only 3 things that I have in common with GA:)
Sent me to GA too….couldn’t believe it. My one idea was…..Get me out of the South! I don’t think GA is any better than OK……
Yep it had me in GA as well. Not happy about that 😦
Don’t feel like the lone stranger — wants to send me to GA also. In the words of my family when I wanted to go to Spelman: “Hell no; my mouth and attitude might get me lynched…”
Wow – a bunch of us got sent to GA. Who would have guessed?
So, as we count down the days to the missus’ gainful employment, I’m enjoying the last of her feasts. Today? Slow-cooker roast with potatoes, carrots, celery, and onion.
I plan to use the slow cooker A LOT this winter. I know she won’t want to cook once she starts working, and I’ve been spoiled by having her home and doing most of the cooking, so I likewise won’t want to rush home and make dinner.
SOOOOOO nice to know that after a long day that dinner is ready when you are:) Wish I knew more recipes that I trusted for the slow cooker other than pot roast:) Smells good though….

Good evening everyone!!
Oh sweet Lord, I so need a cocktail when I get home.
New post.
http://theobamadiary.com/2013/10/22/the-affordable-care-act-is-more-than-a-website/
This explains so much…
About how Fox News can have people on who spew lies about their health insurance premiums. About how it’s obvious the intent of red-state Govs who refuse federal medicaid expansion are aware of the negative impact to their state, but will blame adverse outcomes on Obama.
“nn and Rodger Lenhardt were in for a jolt when they received their notice from Blue Cross Blue Shield recently. It said their monthly health insurance cost would triple – to $859.42 a month – next year.
Under closer inspection, however, the Lenhardts discovered a different story: By switching policies and taking advantage of federal subsidies, they will be able to offset most of their monthly premium costs, giving the farming couple highly discounted insurance.”

The Tea Party is the most destructive force in American politics today. Over the last few weeks, it has demonstrated again that its intent is not to shake up the establishment but to burn down the village. As a Democrat, I disagree with its policy positions, but its policy positions alone are not what make the Tea Party so dangerous. What makes the Tea Party dangerous is its members’ willful disregard for the most basic tenets of American democracy. They do not believe in the legitimacy of our president. They do not believe in the legitimacy of decisions handed down by our Supreme Court. Unlike President Obama, Harry Reid, Mitch McConnell, John Boehner, or a host of other Democratic and Republican lawmakers who grasp the basic reality of politics, they have never, not once shown a willingness to compromise on anything. Merely uttering the word is enough to draw a primary challenge.
The GOP is at war with itself. And as tempting as it might be for Democrats to gloat from the sidelines, it is in all of our interests to make sure the Tea Party doesn’t win.
