What are we to believe?

It was said by our leader, that as far as the new health care law goes, you can keep your health insurance you have, if you like it and you can keep your doctor if you like him. He said that about 29 times, to be exact, over the 4 years in office. Well, that did not turn out to be quite true, as by now over 5 million people lost their health insurance, because it did not conform with what the new health care law mandates. At the same time it seems to be very difficult to sign up for a new plan, because the healthcare.gov site is not quite ready. And for those people, who were able to get on the site, they discovered that what is available, is more expensive and/or the co-pay is much larger, than what it had been previously. To top it off, the site is totally unsecured, and strangers seem to have access to the most personal matters of the suscribers.
This after the "Fast and Furious" debacle, our leader did not know about, the Benghazi scandal, he was uninformed about, the IRS targetting of conservatives, he was ignorant of, and the NSA snooping, he was unaware of.
So now what are we going to believe, when we hear that this "with-it" leader was able to persuade the Iranian Mulahs to become a peaceful nation, continuing to produce atomic power for peaceful purposes, while we give them tons of money, and have persuaded the West to discontinue the economic sanctions?

Something finally hit home

There have been no repercussions for the "Fast and Furious" debacle, where thousands of Mexicans were killed and some US border agents, by guns the administration sold to the Mexicans. No one got punished for it. The Benghazi scandal, where 4 good Americans were killed, while the administration did nothing, has been shoved under the rug. The IRS scandal, where the administration did nothing to punish the deliberate targeting of Tea Party members and religious groups seeking tax-exempt status, passed unnoticed by the main-stream media. The NSA scandal, where a reporter and his family were harassed for doing his job, was dismissed as a mere trifle. The fact that we are all spied upon, our phone calls monitored and e-mails read, that is just to keep us safe. What difference does it all make, the Liberals couldn't care less. When the Republican House tried to fund the government, except for that unaffordable, formidably bad healthcare law, the Republicans were called terrorists and other unsavory names, and the administration and liberal Senate refused to negotiate in any way.
But now, when 5 million people, Liberals included, simply lost their health insurance. because of the "affordable health care law"and there is no way out of this disaster at the moment, and the democratic Congressmen and women up for reelection are getting nervous, something finally hit home and a tempest is erupting in the tea pot.
