Drudge Alarm and Terrorist Rating at Red

++Huffington Post along with Right-Wing websites proclaim that Obama is a liar. David Gregory proclaims Obamacare is Obama's Iraq. I guess it must be as bad as Saddam Hussein buying uranium from Niger.

++I get the drumbeat from the corporate media and the right-wing but I find it reprehensible that Senate Republicans are going after the "navigators" of Obamacare. Marco Rubio is going to introduce a bill aimed at mandating criminal background checks on navigators, who actually come from respected community groups. This is a riff off CBS' report that used leaked documents from Darryl Issa's hearing where IT officers inside the Administration questioned whether "security" was sufficient on the applications. The leaked portion was someone questioning this but the unleaked portion was a detailed response of why it is. That wasn't broadcast on CBS. 

++Fuel has been added to the Navigators issue by right-wing convicted criminal James O'Keefe, whose "investigative journalism" produced the phony revelations about an Department of Agriculture employee,ACORN and he can brag about illegally taping the phones of Senator Mary Landrieu. He also proved voter fraud by committing it. Now his film company "Veritas" claims that felons and ACORN are navigators for Obamacare. Not withstanding that he is on parole in New Jersey,he is being used as a reputable source by the right-wing to attack the ACA. 

++This is nothing new. House Republicans inundated Navigators with requests for massive documents even before they went to work. Several simply gave the money back to the federal government rather than submit to the massive work to comply.

++This is what it is coming down to. An on-going smear campaign against an effort for Americans to actually get healthcare. Now that the website is basically fixed, the caravan moves on. This is despicable. If you have watched on footage of the people in the various states helping citizens get healthcare, you will recognize your fellow American at their finest trying to help out. The accusations by the GOP are outrageous. You should be afraid because these people will steal your financial information and identity. Two weeks ago,we were told your health information would be compromised. Unfortunately, one Democratic congressman raised the inconvenient truth that health information was not required for the ACA. We didn't hear about that again. 

++The only issue now on ACA, despite the red herrings, is what the numbers will look like in March. Obamacaresignup.com has been projecting them. They came up with 6.3 million. The OBM said that the Administration expected 7 million. But no one has yet figured out whether the needed number included the Medicaid expansion number, which actually is exceeding expectations. The other question is whether the 6.3 million noted above are applications or number of persons covered. If we are talking about applications, then everything is on track. That's the only issue that matters whether the program works or not.

++Little Ricky Cantor summoned his caucus to his office and handed them a Blank piece of paper called "Agenda 2014", which basically sums up the GOP.

++But while we are on it, the Senate GOP is filibustering the Third straight Obama judicial nominee. Harry, time to go nuclear.
