Midday Open Thread – Bill Maher, Medicaid Expansion, Obama (VIDEO)

November 16, 2013 By Egberto Willies

  • Bill Maher really gives it to Conservative Supreme Court justices.
  • Tennessee Governor likely the next one to cave and accept the Medicaid Expansion to Obamacare.

    Gov. Bill Haslam of Tennessee describes it as “trying to thread a needle from 80 yards.”  Mr. Haslam is only the latest Republican tailor trying to figure out whether to expand the state’s Medicaid rolls as prescribed by President Obama’s Affordable Care Act. In his case, it involves trying — so far unsuccessfully — to balance some sharply conflicting concerns: struggling hospitals, local business groups, dwindling state resources and fierce conservative opposition to the new health care law.

  • Another article making assumptions without any empirical data.

    Democrats have been hoping to capitalize on the political fallout for the GOP from the recent government shutdown. If they can do so anywhere, it should be in the suburbs north and west of the city where three adjoining congressional districts represent a confluence of Democratic Party ambitions for the 2014 midterm elections….

  • Bill, Bill, Bill. Say it isn’t so.

    BEFORE President Obama administered his fix to the Affordable Care Act last week and even before it was clear that he was leaning that way, Bill Clinton piped up, opining that Obama should honor his claim that Americans with insurance they liked could keep it. This advice wasn’t exactly solicited. And inasmuch as it gave detractors of Obama and Obamacare a fresh cudgel, it wasn’t terribly helpful, either.

  • The Pragmatic Liberal believes Democrats are wimps. He said they should stand their ground.
  • Laura Ingraham flags Governor John Kasich for accepting Medicare expansion to Obamacare.

    One day after President Barack Obama praised Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) for his expansion of Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, Kasich dismissed the idea that he and Obama are “BFF.”

    Appearing on Fox News’ “The O’Reilly Factor,” Kasich was confronted by guest host Laura Ingraham for his state’s participation in Medicaid expansion. Ingraham cracked that Kasich and Obama were becoming “BFF” and practically “spooning” together.

  • Groundwork being laid for the next Hilary Clinton run.

    The institutional apparatus of the Democratic coalition is shifting gears as party strategists, outside groups and the people who finance campaigns prepare for what they believe is an inevitable 2016 presidential bid by Hillary Rodham Clinton.

    As President Obama struggles with the debacle of his Affordable Care Act rollout and fights to regain his political standing, his party’s machinery is pivoting to the next White House campaign. Concrete steps are being taken to wage a general-election contest with Clinton as the presumed nominee.

  • The rich owes government for much of its wealth. Our system is a fraud and as George Carlin says, “the owners of this country know the truth is called the American dream because you have to be asleep to believe it.”
