ObamaCare Schaden-Fraud

In his weekly radio address, President Obama preposterously pouted that "it's well past the time for folks to stop rooting for [ObamaCare's] failure," with the obvious implication that conservative Republicans are in fact cheering for the pain of the un-insured.

No, Mr. President, we are not.  We are, however, having a delicious moment of schaden-fraud.  This is the magnificent validation we are experiencing as all elected Democrats and members of the Jurassic media are fast discovering that the man and the plan they have so arrogantly shoved down our throats - and so naively placed their hopes in -- are simultaneously being exposed as shams.

  
National Journal's Editorial Director and former AP Washington Bureau Chief Ron Fournier is well respected in liberal circles, and he starts his Monday blog post with a startling pronouncement: "Dem Party is F****d." According to Fournier, that was the subject line of an email sent to him Sunday by someone he described as "a senior Democratic consultant with strong ties to the White House and Capitol Hill."

Obama's Clueless Shtick Wearing Thin

White House officials are insisting that the president didn't know that his National Security Agency was bugging German Chancellor Angela Merkel's phone.  However, according to a report in German-language newspaper Bild am Sonntag, President Obama "personally authorized the monitoring of Angela Merkel's phone three years ago." 

So here we go again.  What did Obama know, and when did he know it?  The Merkel-Obama scandal is now supplanting the ObamaCare IT fiasco.  Before the health care website flop, there were Benghazi, Syria, and Fast and Furious.  What about the IRS targeting conservative groups and the Tea Party?  No one bothered to tell Obama about that little powder keg, either.  "I can assure you that I certainly did not know anything about the [inspector general's] report beforehand," said Obama
