REPORT: OBAMA TO SIGN UP FOR OBAMACARE MONDAY

Via Twitter, April Ryan, White House Correspondent and Washington Bureau Chief for American Urban Radio Networks, reports that President Obama will enroll in ObamaCare sometime before the end of the day Monday.The president is currently vacationing in Hawaii. Today is the last day to enroll in ObamaCare if you want coverage to begin at the beginning of the new year.

Whether the president will risk signing up while cameras are rolling is still unknown. The risk in the president doing so is that HealthCare.gov crashes on him and in front of the entire world. As recently as Friday, the site collapsed.

Regardless, it certainly can't hurt for Obama to sign up. Currently, reports show that ObamaCare enrollment is way behind where it needs to be if the program is going to be financially viable. 

Moreover, reports on the number of enrollees the White House releases and the media slavishly repeats are inaccurate. You have to pay your first month's policy in order to be enrolled and insured. Both the White House and the media are reporting those who have only put a health plan in their shopping cart as "enrolled."

Studies show that the online abandonment rate of items placed in a shopping cart is as highas 65%.

Currently, the media have shown little interest in digging up or demanding the real ObamaCare enrollment numbers.

This is a fascinating exchange between Eric Cantor and Barack Obama at a Healthcare Summit at the White House in February 2010. All of it is worth listening to, although the most critical deception is at the very end of the video.

Cantor raised exactly the questions we have before us now.

White House says bill to pay military death benefits 'not necessary,' senator blasts Obama

WASHINGTON –  The White House signaled Thursday that President Obama might not sign a bill to pay death benefits to the families of fallen soldiers, leading a top Republican senator to allege the president has hit a "new low." 

The Senate approved the bill Thursday afternoon, after it cleared the House a day earlier. The bill would reinstate the $100,000 "death gratuity" payments to military families, as well as resume funeral and burial expenses -- after funding was suspended as a consequence of the partial government shutdown. 

But White House Press Secretary Jay Carney claimed the bill was "not necessary," noting that charity group The Fisher House Foundation had just entered into an agreement with the Pentagon a day earlier to provide the benefits in the short-term. 

"The legislation is not necessary," Carney said, adding that the Defense Department has already agreed to reimburse the Fisher House. 

"It does mean that we don't need legislation," Carney said, without explicitly saying Obama would reject the bill. 

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, who pushed the bill in the Senate, blasted the White House over the response.
