Yesterday we learned, thanks to the diligent efforts of House Republican investigators, that the ObamaCare phone lines and paper applications are a huge fraud, just like the rest of the program. President Obama and his spokespeople were blatantly lying – and they knew it - when they desperately stalled for time by telling enraged survivors of the HealthCare.gov crash to enroll via phone or mail. That doesn’t work, because the same busted computer system is ultimately required to process the application. It’s just a waste of the American people’s time – something this Administration holds to be utterly without value, at least when compared to their political viability.
As luck would have it, the intrepid Jonathan Karl of ABC News confronted White House Spokesman Jay Carney – who is, as Karl noted, one of the people who falsely told Americans they could enroll over the phone – with these embarrassing revelations during Monday afternoon press conference. Hilarity ensued.
Carney’s “defense” boils down to a modified version of the insult Obama apologists have taken to throwing at the American people, when they claim he merely “mis-spoke” when repeatedly promising that no one would be forced to give up their existing insurance policy under ObamaCare, period. Carney claimed he said frustrated consumers could “get on the phone and call and the paperwork is filled out of them and the process is taken over from there.”
