Think about it, the American people CAN'T see how much it will cost them during the entire shutdown and while we still have bargaining power. Plus many are reporting that the website is telling them they won't get their rates until AFTER it is in affect in Jan 2014. So what do you think?
The NSA has the computing power to gather data on the entire world. Yet the Obamacare site sputters? THINK!

Sometimes you wonder if you are making a difference and then you see something that says, maybe so... 4 days ago I reported around the web my idea that the difficulties experienced with the Obamacare website were purposeful. This idea has now taken off like wild fire. I don't know if I set the chain of events off, or if I was on to something good that others were suspecting also.
To quote myself:

From a web developer/internet marketing standpoint, I have 15 years experience.
It looks to me like, it's basically a lead generation site for healthcare companies.
Think of it like lendingtree for healthcare.
The government checks to see if they are available for any subsidies first, then gives them their price and a healthcare company picks up the lead.
Question is, who are the healthcare companies paying? Do the lawmakers and Obama involved have their own business now? I'd be interested to know, because it sure looks like something like this to me.

Wait a second.
Before the Obamacare exchanges were even open, you were commenting about the "benefits" we were to receive and how "everyone got free birth control" thanks to Obamacare (which hadn't even OPENED yet) and "your friends" were so happy with that....
Change of heart much?

So it is now our turn to use this to our advantage.
Note the crucial qualifier: Obamacare could be upheld only as a tax. Not that Obamacare is necessarily a legitimate tax. To be a legitimate tax measure, Obamacare would have to have complied with all the Constitution’s conditions for the imposition of taxes. Because Democrats stubbornly maintained that their unilateral handiwork was not a tax, its legitimacy vel non as a tax has not been explored. Indeed, it is because Obamacare’s enactment was induced by fraud — a massive confiscation masquerading as ordinary regulatory legislation so Democrats could pretend not to be raising taxes — that the chief justice was wrong to rebrand it post facto and thus become a participant in the fraud.
We now know Obamacare was tax legislation. Consequently, it was undeniably a “bill for raising revenue,” for which the Constitution mandates compliance with the Origination Clause (Art. I, Sec. 7). The Clause requires that tax bills must originate in the House of Representatives. Obamacare did not.

This was misrepresented to us and it was used to win an election.

Ive noticed that his voter base can care less if he walked into the IRS and made himself a blank check.
I dont see any of his supporters holding his feet to the fire. Why?
Because he isn't Bush, and could never be worse then Bush.
Cause in the end, even 30 years later it will ALWAYS be Bushes fault. At least that's what I get from the media, his supporters and this Administration.
Obama supporters also don't mind that he has butchered over 1,000 children with his drone attacks.. then they refer to Bush and what he did, and It's like, "dont be mad at me for killing a kid, because that guy did it too"

I suppose no one wrote up the ACA, then voted and passed the ACA for him to sign it.
