More than 40 days and 40 nights after it was revealed that what President Obama repeatedly promised wasn’t true, at last count 52 million Americans will lose their health insurance, mainly because Barry apparently believes that when it comes to choice, he knows better.
Based on the millions being unwillingly dropped from health insurance policies they chose and were perfectly happy with, Barack Obama must feel that Americans are incapable of choosing correctly. Not for nothing, but if the president is right, that conclusion casts a whole new perspective on his being elected twice.
Irreparable damage on the national level aside, after hawking the Affordable Care Act like a snake oil salesman, barking “Step right up, if you like your insurance plan you can keep your insurance plan,” some gravely ill Americans are finding out that the cure-all the merchant of “Hope and Change” peddled was pure quackery.
Now, after a panicked realization has set in, the president, doing what he does best, decided he should at least make believe that he’s sorry and that he’s diligently working toward rectifying the catastrophic situation he caused.
Appearing remarkably serene, Obama chose to share his remorse with NBC anchor Chuck Todd. In an on-air interview the president said that he was sorry about people with cancer who, because they can’t afford the Obamacare premium, have decided to “let nature take its course.”
Feigning regret, the president acknowledged that people like Edie Littlefield Sundby, a woman with Stage IV gallbladder cancer who was dropped from her insurance, are “finding themselves in this situation based on assurances they got from me.”
After talking about how “we didn’t do a good enough job” in crafting the law (note the use of “we” instead of “I”), and unable to fall back on his usual scapegoat, G.W. Bush, the president, who modifies everything he says after he says it, first put the onus on evil insurers being responsible for modifying their plans after the law was passed.
Moving the conversation along, the president, who is gaining the reputation for being a liar around the world, said that “we” are doing “everything we can to get it fixed,” and that “we” are “looking at a range of options.” A “range of options” to do what, compensate for the disastrous results of three years’ worth of the president’s blatant lies?
And although it’s too little, too late, Obama’s on-camera façade of contrition was, at best, mildly amusing. Then, predictably shifting into full-blown victim status, Barack Obama came out with something downright stunning.
Having lost his head for a moment, the Barack Obama we all know and recognize emerged when he bemoaned his having “been burned …[by] a website.”
Whoa! After spending three years actively conning the country into buying a product he knew the whole time was bogus, and after millions of insured Americans laid aside their cynicism only to find themselves without healthcare coverage, blame-meister Barack ‘Hey, Don’t Look at Me, I Didn’t Do It’ Obama now dares to say that a poorly-planned healthcare rollout burned him?
Yes! Constitutional arsonist Barack Obama, the man who advocates the saline-scalding of unborn babies, the person who regularly blowtorches the First and Second Amendments, ignites racial unrest, has turned the economy into burnt toast, inflamed relations with America’s allies, and set afire just about everything America holds near and dear, actually had the effrontery to utter the words “I’ve been burned.”
The only thing missing from the interview was Barack Obama having to have his smoldering pants be doused with a fire extinguisher.

Cleavage, Piercings, Tattoos & Sagging Pants Banned By Texas Schools
Over the last 40 years, school dress codes have reflected the moral decay of our nation. When I attended high school back in the late 1960s, we had to adhere to a fairly strict dress code. No shorts or t-shirts were allowed, girls dresses could not be any higher than 2 inches above the knee and no facial hair for guys. Basically we were expected to dress in the manner fitting of many work environments. It was done to prevent appearances from becoming a distraction to others.
If you’ve driven by a public high school in the past 10 years you may be shocked and appalled by the appearance of students. Boys walking around in tattered t-shirts and baggy pants that barely hang on their butts revealing 4-8 inches of their underwear. Hair in many colors and styles along with pierced eyelids, noses, lips, tongues and I dare not mention where else. Girls walk around dressed like hookers waiting for a guy to rape them. In some locations, gang colors, bandanas, hats and shirts are proudly worn. Other shirts have profanity and display lewd and perverse images.
In general, too many of our young people dress in a manner that reflects their lack of respect for themselves and others. They have little modesty, decency or moral standards.
At least one school district is taking steps to reverse this trend and try to instill some self-respect into their young people and prevent their physical appearance from detracting from the educational process.
Keller Independent School District in Keller, Texas has a new dress code that they will be enforcing this fall semester. The suburb of 40,000 people just north of Fort Worth is dead set on making a difference in their children. The new dress code starts out saying:
“The Keller ISD dress code is established to teach grooming and hygiene, prevent disruption, and minimize safety hazards.”
Then it addresses hair, clothing, general appearance and accessories.
On shirts and tops, the dress code forbids the wearing of half-length, tank top, strapless, cut-off, halter, bare-midriff, see through or sheer, tops that showed cleavage, too low cut or had plunging necklines. All undergarments must be completely covered. Shirts may not display swear words or sexually explicit material, no gang related colors or symbols, or anything that may be offensive to others. No clothing that could be classified as pajamas will be allowed.
On pants, they must be worn at the natural waistline and if necessary a belt must be worn to keep them at the natural waistline. No form fitting pants like leggings, tights, yoga pants are allowed. Lengths of hemlines, pants and slits in skirts were limited.
On appearance and accessories, no tattoos – temporary or permanent, no piercings other than earrings. No teeth grills, ear gauges or any jewelry with sharps points or edges. No hats, visors, bandanas or head scarves. No sunglasses or extreme styles of contact lenses.
Any student wanting to wear religious articles of clothing must obtain the approval of school administrators.
Dr. Randy Reid, Superintendent of the school district commented about the new dress code:
“The goal obviously is to have well dressed modestly – well dressed students in our schools. We want to focus on education.”
At least one junior high school student seems to think the new dress code is appropriate saying:
“So many of the clothes were really inappropriate. Shorts way too short – form fitting clothing – it was like you were naked but your legs were a different color.”
One high school senior also commented about the new dress code saying:
“We don’t really get to choose what we wear now. We would rather just have uniforms.
I know a number of people may not agree with the steps the school district is taking, but I think it’s a great idea especially with high school students. A high school administrator once told me that one of the main purposes of high school isn’t only to educate teenagers, but to help prepare them for the real working world they will be facing after they graduate. Most businesses have a dress code and would not allow employees to dress the way many of today’s high schoolers dress.
I’m curious to see just how the enforcement of the new dress code will pan out. Will there be challenges and if so, from who and for what reasons? Who will prevail, the school district or the challenger?
Is disgraced former New York Congressman Anthony Weiner really this incorrigible?
Did he really engage in lewd online behavior after the notorious nude picture scandal that momentarily ousted him from politics?
That’s what the popular gossip site TheDirty is [content warning at the link] alleging.
Recent screen shots of sexually explicit online chat sessions posted by the gossip site on Monday show Weiner may have struck again — all after he fessed up to steamy online relationships in 2011.
“My source is solid. She really thought Anthony Weiner and her were in love, they spoke on the phone daily multiple times a day for 6 months,” The Dirty reports.
