Liberal Democrat Bill de Blasio cruised to victory on Tuesday to succeed New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, marking the first time a Democrat has captured City Hall in two decades, local media reported.
De Blasio, the city's public advocate, beat Republican rival Joe Lhota by promising to bridge the gap between the "two New Yorks" - one rich, one poor I can hardly add anything to Daniel Greenfield's post: It's de Blasio time at Sultan Knish
[DAILYCALLER] President Barack Obama I inhaled. That was the point... told his enthusiastic supporters Monday night that he never promised what video recordings show him promising at least 29 times.
The videos show Obama promising 300 million Americans that "if you like your health-care plan, you will be able to keep your health-care plan, period."
But that's not what he really said, Obama announced Monday in a speech to about 200 Organizing for Action supporters, gathered at the St. Regis hotel in D.C.
"What we said was you could keep it if it hasn't changed since the law was passed," he told Obamacare's political beneficiaries and contractors.
That claim is not supported by his videotaped statements, which don't include any mention of his new "if it hasn't changed" exception.
But the newly-revealed exception is justified by a higher-priority promise in Obamacare, Obama declared.
"If we had allowed these old plans [to continue]... then we would have broken an even more important promise -- making sure that Americans gain access to health care that doesn't leave them one illness away from financial ruin," he announced.
"So the bottom line is, is that we are making the insurance market better for everybody," he declared, prompting loud applause by supporters eager to ignore his three years of fraudulent statements.

Yokay, I'll bite, TARN'T BOTH "HIGH CRIMES" [Felony(s)] + ["HIGH"] MISDEMEANORS [Non-Felony but still "Heinious"?] = IMPEACHABLE OFFENSES UNDER THE US CONSTITUTION???
Preferably before China starts shooting at Japan andor PHIL, INDIA, etc. + the US gives up East Asia + 1/2 or more of the Pacific because the US can't econ afford anymore to unilater intervene or go to war on behalf of its overseas Allies = Treaty obligations???
IMO the USDOD covertly desires to lease the CNMI island of PAGAN in its entirety as bargaining hedge in case China wipes out = nukes Japan-returned IWO JIMA.
Lest we fergit, ATZLAN-PROCLAIMED CIVIL WAR starting in 2015 for the independence or liberation of the US Southwest back to Mexico.

* FYI WORLD NEWS > [Stars-N-Stripes] US WISHES TO EXPANDS TRAINING [+ Testing] IN [vast]WESTERN PACIFIC.
RELATED SAME > MARIANAS ON THE RADAR FOR NAVY, MARINE TRAINING SITES.
IMO, among other reasons the JSDF has formally set up a detachment on Tinian in case things go badly militarily for the US + Japan, etal. in a NE Asia/ECS mil confrontation or conflict agz China, + need to fall back to GUAM-WESTPAC + beyond eastward - ditto as US + PHIL, ASEAN vee China in SCS.
Japan kept troops + fighter, attack planes on PAGAN, + for a time used it successfully as a staging area for LR air attacks from Iwo, Okinawa,PHIL + Taiwan agz the new USAAF/USAF B-29 bases in the lower Marianas. Eventually the US invaded + occupied Pagan, + did the same albeit not on the same scale as Japan in deference to the huge US Bomber, Naval bases on Saipan, Tinian, Guam; + later Iwo/Bonins + Palaus [Peleliu].
As per WORLD MIL FORUM again, in addition to its sialnds disputes China is also facing intense pressure in Central Asia vee Radical Islam.
All the above wid the Bammer in the WH.
* OBAMA = ONE HELLUVA LOUSY NATIONALIST + AMERICAN, BUT ONE HELLUVA OUTSTANDING OR GREAT [anti-US?]GLOBALIST + AMERIKAN.

He does not appear to be backing down or even admitting anything is amiss. Champ and his regime are obviously 'all in' and on a collision course to the new program's insolvency. The obvious shortage of paying subscribers will surely take them there, and in short order.
His blind arrogance along with the silence of Pelosi and Reid indicate they have a collective endgame, a plan. I'm not certain what the plan is, but it could be a "temporary" Value Added Tax (VAT) enacted to keep Obamacare afloat. We must do it for the children, or some other ridiculous fabrication will surely be forthcoming. Another scenario, with redemption as it's theme, could see the Hildebeast and Bill arriving on a white horses.
In other even less hopeful parallel universe news, the outcome of the Virginia gubernatorial clearly illustrates the love affair with democrats, a 'wymns right to choose' and big gov't (specifically Northern VA) is far from over. We are in the hole, and the hole is filling with water. In denial, we frantically dig deeper with China and 'the free stuff' as prizes.

hie incompetence, pure arrogance and hubris don't allow him to say what everyone knows:
he's a liar. A mendacious POS. Keep running those ads and videos. He sold a bill of goods and every cancellation notice creates a new GOP voter if they do it right

No, he is not a leader, nor is he crazy. He does what he was taught, and what has always worked for him. He follows. He has always been a follower, safely following from behind. Today he follows his evil Aba Queen, the one who is seldom heard from. She moves behind the scenes, with her shadow advisors, her cohorts, funneling money to Canadian web developers. Her war against the "slavecatchers" continues. But no one will speak ill of her or mention her complicity. She is sacred to her Aba ranks, her following, and the tribe. This is the second rebellion.

Of course they have a plan - they told us what it was from the very beginning: single payer national health care. When, not if, this collapses, they expect the people to demand NHC as the solution. They are creating the problem so they can apply their solution. I think they have the population evaluated quite correctly.

You're caught Obama, own up or not, I don't listen anyway. (Can't stand a liar, won't listen to your lies)
If I can't/won't hear you, are you lying to yourself?
You're not lying to me anymore. Go ahead and spew al the crap you want, You're only lying to yourself.
(Now where did I hear that before? Oh yes the former Chancelor of Germany.)

Right Skidmark, but that's only one defense mechanism. By "crazy," I mean NPD. Irrational thought processes, disconnected from reality, no substance beyond the defense mechanisms. Those around him may have a plan, but they will be frustrated as he repeatedly screws it up.

Pseudologia fantastica, mythomania, compulsive lying, or pathological lying are four of several terms applied by psychiatrists to the behavior of habitual or compulsive lying.[1][2] It was first described in the medical literature in 1891 by Anton Delbrueck.[2] Although it is a controversial topic,[2] pathological lying has been defined as "falsification entirely disproportionate to any discernible end in view, may be extensive and very complicated, and may manifest over a period of years or even a lifetime".[1] The individual may be aware they are lying, or may believe they are telling the truth, being unaware that they are relating fantasies.
Chronically advanced, inoperable and incurable. Just as we suspected.

Whatever it is, or whatever you call it, so far he has gotten away with it. Maybe he can't fool all of the people all of the time but so far he has fooled enough of the people often enough. Scary.
#19
Bill Clinton lied and lied and lied and went up in the polls. Obama understood the lesson. Those that aren't paying attention will believe him, they are his voters anyway.
The Republicans need to find away to get information to the drive-by voters in a way that sticks. Democrats took over the media so they can make Lincoln a Democrat when they want to and enough people will beleave it.

In the beginning, there was the Plan.
And then came the Assumptions.
And the Assumptions were without form.
And the Plan was without substance.
And darkness was upon the face of the Workers.
And they spoke among themselves, saying, "It is a crock of shit, and it stinketh."
And the Workers went unto their Supervisors and said, "It is a pail of
dung, and we can't abide with the smell thereof".
And the Supervisors went unto their Managers, saying, "It is a container of excrement, and it is very strong, such that none may abide by it."
And the Managers went unto their Directors, saying, "It is a vessel of fertilizer, and none may abide its strength."
And the Directors spoke among themselves, Saying to one another, "It contains that which aids plant growth, and it is very strong."
And the Directors went to the Vice Presidents, saying unto them, "It promotes growth, and it is very powerful."
And the Vice Presidents went to the President, saying unto him, "This new plan will actively promote the growth and vigor of the company with very powerful effects."
And the President looked upon the Plan and saw that it was good.
And the Plan became Policy.
And this is how sh*t happens.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
[DAILYCALLER] President
