BO to offer ocare fix?

mrD

The point should be , if people are paying attention and polls show they finally are
the point is and should be this POS doesn't seem to know anything.
You know this isn't the first time or even second time, heck BO has excused himself from blame saying he didn't know about some issue>
This time he said he wasn't told directly. What does that mean? No one explains what that actually means

At least when it was Fast and Furious and the IRS scandal/ targeting of conservative groups he said he learned about it when he saw it ' On the news"
Saying he wasn't told ' directly" is even weaker than that.

so perhaps to you this new dodge isn't a big deal but when you add it to the all other dodges should be a big deal .

even his newest apology tour only showed him for what he is and again the polls show people are paying attention
 
I'm still struggling to understand this "apology" and why the media has seemed so willing just to accept it.

He's sorry people are losing their plans, so his solution is to let them keep them for one more year (which assumes he can even promise this, which he can't, since many of those plans have already been dissolved. ) And after that, they lose them again.

I'm confused how losing the plan a year from now is acceptable when losing them now is not. Perhaps because he's not sorry at all, he just needs people to calm down for a little bit, because he believes that they're stupid enough that in a year they'll have forgotten all about this, and they'll have had time to come up with a spin so that what is currently an outrage will then be accepted and lauded.
 
6721,

First, you're complaining about a politician claiming not to know something. Politicians in both parties deny knowledge of things that go wrong unless they are sure that their knowledge can be proven, which is extremely rare. That happens all the time. The public expects that, and they pretty much are OK with it. Sad, but that's just reality.

Second, I'm talking about the political ramifications, not what I personally believe. My personal belief is that the website's failures were known by Obama before it was rolled out, but that's speculation. I don't have proof of that, but it seems highly unlikely that the site wasn't tested prior to launch.

However, the dropping of coverage was absolutely known by Obama years in advance and before the 2012 election. It was an indisputable and conclusively established lie. That's a big deal. Furthermore, it has much bigger repercussions on the public. Both reasons are why this issue should be front and center in 2014, not the website.

'The public expects that, and they pretty much are OK with it. "
first of all it is not ' some politician" It is the POTUS speaking as the leader of our country. It is not someone running for dog catcher who lies about not beating his dog.

And BO's lies have not been about insignificant event.

You think the public is ok with it. I do not and the polls seem to show it.

So let's just agree to disagree about the importance of a POTUS getting caught in lie after lie after lie.
