Townhall, The Blaze, and The Weekly Standard distributed the video of Thursdays Press Conference [mother forced

to choose between new health plan or food]; the clip has this physicians American flag and sons statement, and the intelligencer story included video [doctors and others lament-health-law]. This event again exemplified the ahead of the curve level of Bucks County activism, piggy-backing on the three Press Releases provided to Mikeas nudges to recall his originswhile problems abound with the partial-shutdown [states are paying, without retroactive reimbursement, to open-national-parks] and with the ObamaCare launch [Two People Attend 'ObamaCare and You!' Event in South Carolina and Sebelius event in Pittsburgh turns into debacle and Ezra Klein: Admin Has Done 'Terrible Job Launching' ObamaCare and Only 51,000 Completed ObamaCare Applications]. Today, it was reported by the WaPo that ObamaCare Technical Problems Worsen [[T]he ObamaCare site problems are even worse than originally believed. It is not just the buyer-end of the ObamaCare website that is unworkable; so is the back end that is supposed to tell insurance providers who their new customers are. This might also explain why the White House is refusing to release to the media the number of ObamaCare enrollees: they just don't know health-exchange-sending-confusing-enrollment-information-to-insurers]. {Additionally: thousands-of-doctors-fired-by-united-healthcare and NBC News Slams ObamaCare: 'Focus of Ridicule Complete Mess' and ObamaCare: It's all about control.} The Obama administration will rely on emotional anecdotes and incomplete data to help defend their signature law -- once its websites are fixed and people can actually enroll, that is. Critics will counter with reams of statistics proving that ObamaCare violates its core promises. While empirical evidence is indispensable, it's also critical to showcase real people who are being actively harmed by the law. Meet this young, disabled mother from Allentown, Pennsylvania: "It would take food out of our mouths to be able to afford these coverages." Heartbreaking. ObamaCare will force this woman, her husband and their five-year-old son to choose between obtaining coverage and putting food on the table. The law's "affordable" premiums will hike the family's bills by hundreds of dollars compared to their current plan. They can't afford the change, so a desperate decision awaits. This is why so many Americans have forcefully opposed ObamaCare for so long. It's not about "hating" the president. It's not about racial animus. It's not about protecting the rich. It has nothing to do with any of the red herrings proponents toss out to sully and impugn opponents' motives. The truth is that this law hurts people, breaks virtually all of the major promises upon which it was sold, and is simply unaffordable to a federal government that's already facing a long-term debt crisis. HHS Secretary Sebelius, who told Americans this week that ObamaCare's exchanges are "simple and user-friendly," was confronted with a potent dose of reality in Pittsburgh yesterday; BHO is now reportedly considering dismantling and rebuilding elements of the foundering online portals. These failures are so glaring that the media can't even try to gloss over them. CBS News ripped the ObamaCare launch as "nothing short of disastrous" earlier in the week, and now NBC News is piling on:

If it werent for the shutdown dominating the news, we admittedly would be hearing and covering a lot more about how things are going for these new health care exchanges, which were rolled out ten days ago, Williams said. Millions of uninsured Americans are being encouraged to go to healthcare.gov to sign up for coverage but its been a very rocky start. ... By most accounts the website has been a complete mess, locking up, crashing and kicking off potential customers, Costello said. Of the 260 people who tried to sign up at this Miami clinic in the first week, only a single person got through. One, from 260 attempts, applications counselor Cristina Marrero said, laughing. I'll leave you with a tip of the cap to Mary Katharine Ham. Check out her detailed prediction from November 2012: "This is a giant tech undertaking which will need to serve many localities with different needs, link existing technologies and personnel with a new, giant federal hub, and somehow make sure all of them work together to smoothly to guide consumers who have no idea what to expect in subsidies or services through a brand new web portal for health insurance. They have less than a year to accomplish this. It seems there has been no pilot program, no training, and no beta testing. This thing is ORCA on steroids." So right it hurts.

Optimism is to be disseminated by The Bob [guzzardi and dr. bob] and by others [Continue the Fight on ObamaCare], inasmuch as Nate Silver Poured Water On Media's Shutdown Narrative [fivethirtyeight] and others advised people not to Buy the Media Spin [The Shutdown Is Killing ObamaCare]; even BHO evinced impatience during todays weekly radio speech [Obama: End Shutdown So We Can Pass Comprehensive Immigration Reform]. Indicative of how late-night humorists are turning-on BHO is this compilation of the best-of-the-week; hands-down, Colberts this is not a game game was the best. Guzzardi notes that, although Worlds top bankers warn of dire consequences if U.S. defaults, others say this is overstated and Rand Paul predicts Obama Will ultimately Cave on Debt Ceiling Negotiations. Yet, the RINOs are roaring [McCain Decried GOP Infighting, and McCain Blamed Cruz and Conservatives for Obama Mishandling Death Benefits, and McCain claimed Cruz 'Not Representing Us,' and Ryan Compromise Would Keep ObamaCare 'Forever,' and corker-claimed budget battle will be resolved by Wednesday if not sooner and peterking claimed ted cruz and rand paul are the real rinos the GOP ESTABLISHMENT ASSAILED the TEA PARTY ON the SHUTDOWN], as are the Dems [LIB TALKER said it was a 'BIG MISTAKE TO PAY THE DEATH BENEFITS' TO MILITARY, and Daily Beast's Tina Brown said Mitch McConnell is Rand Paul's 'Bitch', and Larry Elder Shows Why Public Distrusts

D.C.-pressure to end the ObamaCare and Debt Ceiling Fight has intensified noting that, allegedly, the house GOP budget proposal surrendered on both ObamaCare and limiting spending, having caved for having proposed both LIFTING THE DEBT CEILING AND REOPENING GOVERNMENT. Later in the day, however, Obama Rejected House Offer [NO DEAL!] and the SENATE BLOCKS REID DEBT PLAN; as the Sunday talk-shows loomed, Reid and McConnell took charge, for everything appeared to be back on Square 1: House and Senate GOP Crash Against Unified Democrat Wall. In reaction to an op-ed [Negotiation 101: Obama Playing Senate, House GOP off Against Each Other], this note was composed by this physician to discount Boehners claim on Thursday that this political war is being fought on two-fronts [for these are two-sides-of-the-came-coin]: "Just Say 'NO'!" All that need be done is...to do nothing! The debt-ceiling passes without incident, and the sky doesn't fall. This mirrors the sequester and the shutdown. Then use $ collected during the past three years under ObamaCare. $ for supplements must be diverted to pay other creditors. This kills two birds with one stone. The mood that allegedly had prompted the GOP to blink stemmed from a widely-disseminated poll c/o NBC-News/WS-Journal [entities that represent the Dems and the GOP-Establishment respectively]; thus, in addition to its being debunked by Rush, the following was issued by Heritage Action: Yesterday, President Obama asked House Republicans "what's it going to take to" end the shutdown. You and I know the right answer: it has to do with ObamaCare. The reason the government remains shut down is because the President and his allies in Congress refuse to acknowledge their law is hurting the American people. And as

pressure mounts from the Washington and New York City media, even some opponents of ObamaCare are looking for a face-saving exit. Not fighting isn't an option for those hurt by ObamaCare. A clumsy exit may be a fine political strategy, but it isnt fine for the Waschura family who will see their premiums increase by $10,000 per year. It wont be fine for the 15,000 spouses of UPS employees who will be locked out of the company's health plan. Nor will it be fine for employees at 300+ companies who have seen their hours slashed thanks to ObamaCare. The fight over ObamaCare is now. The path to victory was never going to be easy, but for many Americans the stakes are too high, the costs too great, to wait until 2017 for relief. As the problems with ObamaCare mount, the hardship will grow. Mr. President, what's it going to take for you to realize that? Conservatives conveyed their revamped message @ the Values Voters Summit, after which a straw-poll for POTUS-16 showed Cruz Crushing the field; 'Reaganesque' Cruz was embraced for ObamaCare defiance, while Family Research Council President declared Cruz to be the 'De Facto Leader' of GOP. Earlier, CRUZ had explained why AMERICA ONLY HAS A COUPLE YEARS TO TURN AROUND; cruz rallied conservatives-against-ObamaCare-ahead-of white-house-talks during an AMAZING SPEECH which was interrupted by hecklers. Limbaugh Defended Cruz and Lee Against Establishment Republicans although he also discounted the claim by Van JONES that he should APOLOGIZE TO GOP; also, BACHMANN avers OBAMACARE is the 'LINE IN THE SAND BETWEEN POLICE STATE AND CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC.' Hand-to-hand combat continues, as Mark Levin claimed 'Mitch McConnell Should Be Defeated' and tea party nation withdrew its endorsement of mitch mcconnell. Also, Huelskamp claimed GOP Leadership Forgetting Tea Party Gave Them House Majority, and TEA PARTY PATRIOTS determined PAUL RYAN 'LOSING HIS FOCUS' ON OBAMACARE. On this issue, Ben Carson: ObamaCare worst thing to happen to the U.S. since slavery; on a larger plane, there is a GROWING BACKLASH TO GOVERNMENT SURVEILLANCE and recognition [by Tavis Smiley] that 'Black People Will Have Lost Ground in Every Single Economic Indicator' Under Obama.
