An unraveling administration shows elections have consequences. You'd be mighty hard-pressed to find a success in the nearly six years that this President has had time to show that elections have consequences. Aside from a few policy victories, America is worse off than it was before he took office.   Saddled with nearly $8 trillion more in debt than when he took office, unemployment numbers that are best described as "cooking the books" and with a foreign policy that even a fifth grader would be embarrassed to claim, this President has gone from the Messiah to the Manure Spreader. America has never had a bigger whiner as President - everything is never his fault - he inherited this and he inherited that.   The economy was Bush's fault.   He ridiculed Bush for having a national debt of $8 trillion and then he has doubled the debt in six years when it took all his predecessors over 200 years to accomplish this.   He claimed the wars were unjust and costly and is now mired in a mess in Afghanistan that has had more deaths than in Iraq by US personnel.   And this is not surprising since he has nearly disarmed our forces with his policies of mooslim appeasement. Now we are getting to see how inexperience in foreign policy is making the US a mockery of the world.   For all of Sarah Palin's insanity, she had more foreign policy experience than Obama before he took office. The handling of Putin and Russia has become a joke that we'd all like to never hear again, but we've come to expect a metrosexual response for a man who is more likely to fill out a basketball bracket or to play a round of golf than to actually attend a national security briefing.  Let's now look at the latest Obama tongue lashing at Putin and the Russians. *  Revoke Putin's Starbucks' card. *  Talk a little louder and with more big words since that is what shows competence. *  Prevent any Russian leader from getting any Best Buy Rewards points. *  Prepare a new foreign policy predicated on Putin is a racist and is defying Obama because of Obama's race. *  Declare that Putin is the head of the Republican Party and proceed to attack him *  Blame Bush because Ukraine was free to be attacked by Putin *  Promise the Russian people that they will get Obamacare. Health insurance premiums up 39% to 56% under Obamacare Americans buying health insurance outside the new Obamacare exchanges are being forced to swallow premiums up to 56 percent higher than before the health law took effect because insurers have jumped the cost to cover all the added features of the new Affordable Care Act. According to a cost report from eHealthInsurance, a nationwide online private insurance exchange, families are paying an average of $663 a month and singles $274 a month, far more than before Obamacare kicked in. What's more, to save money, most buyers are choosing the lowest level of coverage, the so-called "bronze" plans. The firm provided the costs to Secrets through their new online price index, which gives the averages of what people are paying for insurance sold through their system. In California, for example, some families are paying a high of $2,604 a month and in New York, $1,845. Sign Up for the Paul Bedard newsletter! The shocking surge in prices show what Americans not in Obamacare or covered by their employer are paying as they seek lower premiums. Typically, they are not eligible for the subsidies Obamacare offers those with low incomes. "Premiums are increasing primarily because of the new required provisions for 2014 Affordable Care Act compliant plans, including guaranteed issue, essential health benefits, modified community rating and minimum actuarial values," said Brian Mast, spokesman for eHealthInsurance. "It is also likely that health insurance companies expected additional risk in the risk pool, because people with pre-existing conditions could no longer be denied coverage, and may have priced their plans higher to accommodate for this risk," said Mast. His firm's price index also gives an average age for singles buying plans, and the results are worrying for insurers and the Obama administration. That's because the average age is 36, older than the administration had hoped for. Explaining the higher costs, Mast said, "There are likely other factors, but what is important is that moving forward, there needs to be a collective effort to enroll as many people as possible and create a broad and diverse risk pool to keep premiums in check. eHealth can help in that effort by enrolling consumers off-exchange and is pushing to be able to enroll people in subsidy-eligible plans as well." From Washington Examiner, March 17, 2014 Let's also not forget the LIES that Obama told about Obamacare - we all know about his promise that we could keep our doctors and keep our insurance PERIOD - that he stated over and over as he was selling his  namesake healthcare scam. We also need to remember that this LIAR also repeated another lie - that healthcare insurance costs would go down under his plan.   The article above already shreds that lie, but I wanted to include the liar telling us over and over about the his plan would LOWER insurance premiums.   Well, nothing proves a liar is a liar better than hearing the jackass tell the lie himself. Enjoy.
