His puppet masters began to lose control midway through the first term. The harmless kibbutzikan redistribution rhetoric had given way to a more personal scheme of social and ethnic justice. At the quiet urgings of his nationalist advisors, he head gone fully rogue. His waggish dislike for all things British was seen as harmless apples not falling far from the tree. Attitudes began to quickly shift however, when his anti-western, and soon to come anti-Israeli sentiments became obvious. Boats began to be lowered in the night. The media were the last to leave the ship as the music played on. But it was now too late. His now disgusted and fearful puppet masters, they had already unleashed a vengeful Zulu monster. As his political party lay in shambles, he tossed away the rule-of-law and began to rule by decree and government agency subterfuge. But again, it was too late to stop him. He had now become too big to fail.
Expert: Healthcare.gov Security Risks Even Worse After 'Fix'
Health and Human Services (HHS) released a progress report on Sunday following its self-imposed Nov. 30 deadline to repair the website, saying that the "team has knocked more than 400 bug fixes and software improvements off the punch list."
The administration said that the "site capacity is stable at its intended level," though the site continued to crash on Monday. The eight-page report made no mention of the website's numerous security flaws, which experts say put Americans' personal information at risk.
"It doesn't appear that any security fixes were done at all," David Kennedy, CEO of the online security firm TrustedSec, told the Washington Free Beacon.
Kennedy said fundamental safeguards missing from Healthcare.gov that were identified by his company more than a month ago have yet to be put in place.
"There are a number of security concerns already with the website, and that's without even actually hacking the site, that's just a purely passive analysis of [it]," he said. "We found a number of critical exposures that were around sensitive information, the ability to hack into the site, things like that. We reported those issues and none of those appear to have been addressed at all."
After warning Americans when testifying before Congress on Nov. 19 to stay away from Healthcare.gov, Kennedy now says the situation is even worse.

The Info-Security of college transcripts, US Passports, associates, financial data, and travel of Indonesian and Kenyan Muslim foreign students must come first. Must I call the White House to sort this out?

Wouldn't it just be quicker and easier for the people "signing up to just go downtown and hand out their credit cards, checkbook, etc., to whatever stranger walks by?
Sure, they'll probably have all their personal information stolen and their credit rating ruined (presuming they even have one), and they won't actually have real health insurance, but that's what's going to happen anyway if they actually sign up at the website, isn't it?

Nah, all the folks signing up are too poor to have credit cards. Just Obamaphones and EBT cards.

The real problem is the extreme ideologies suggested by the questions. The questionnaire should be firmly rejected because the questions teach the kids that these are real positions held by typical people, when they are not. Just saying, "None of your business" gets you into "have you stopped beating yor wife" territory.

I have had the application and tax credit since 11/4, chose a plan, applied. Been held there ever since. It wants me to be 2 groups and 6 people and 4 for dental. I have called, I have chatted, I have called again, and again. Different answer. Someone will call within 5 days. No, nothing from these guys. I am single, no children, one person the website wants to multiply everytime I try to get past the glitch. Grrrrr.

Ditto Lisa: My eligibility pdf makes no sense as it references tables and phone numbers that are not there. The last 2 weeks I can not even sign on. The log in button is whited out. My insurance policy was cancelled 1/1/14 and the new policy proposed is more than double. Called the Market Place 3 times now, they couldn't understand what was happening and asked me to call back later. Even when I could log on there were no policies to shop, no idea of amount for credit or subsidy available. This is only the beginning; doctors will eventually be nationalized. I can see many leaving the profession. College graduates are already being advised to seek other professions. Insurance won't do any good without doctors.

The system is showing that my application has been approved, However I did not submit one.
[Chicago Tribune] bankrupt, increasingly impoverished, reliably Democrat, Detroit ... ruled by Democrats since 1962. A city whose Golden Age included the Purple Gang... is eligible for the biggest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history because the city is broke and without Chapter 9 bankruptcy would continue on the path that has led it to insolvency, a federal judge ruled on Tuesday.
Judge Steven Rhodes also ruled that while the city did not negotiate in "good faith" with creditors, there were too many of them to make such negotiations practical. Rhodes also said that public pensions could be cut in municipal bankruptcies.
In addition, the judge said he would not stay the Detroit bankruptcy proceedings in the wake of any possible appeals, ruling that any motion for direct appeal to the U.S. 6th Circuit Court must be filed separately.
The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees has filed a notice of appeal to the bankruptcy court.
The series of rulings sets the stage for Detroit to file a plan of financial readjustment by March 1. The city's attorneys said they were not sure if the filing would occur before the end of the year.
The ruling came 25 days after the end of an eligibility trial during which Detroit's labor unions, retirees and pension funds argued against the city's July 18 bankruptcy filing.
The city now will begin working toward its next major move, the submission of a plan to readjust its more than $18 billion in debt. Detroit is burdened by $18.5 billion in debt as it struggles to provide even the most basic services to the city's 700,000 residents.
About 40 percent of the city's streetlights do not work and about 78,000 abandoned buildings litter the city, whose population peaked at 1.8 million in 1950.

A gross waste of time. Time better spent crafting contract renegotiation points and strategies. Low Info Voters, this was always the plan.

This lawsuit should have taken about 15 minutes. Federal bankruptcy laws trump whatever laws the union owned state legislature passes to protect its graft.
