StPaulHusker Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Let's just chop of 70% of the chart so we can make our point! Shhh. Their viewing audience prefers pictures. They only believe the pictures. Link to comment
carlfense Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Let's just chop of 70% of the chart so we can make our point! Look at those bars! The enrollment figures appear to be about 30% of the projection! I see that Barrasso has started unskewing those numbers already. Link to comment

StPaulHusker Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 What I find comical is how Fox News and Conservatives blame Obama for website problems. Like he is sitting there writing code to make it work. Link to comment

Like he is sitting there writing code to make it work. The discord between desperately wanting the law to fail while feigning outrage about the early struggles is pretty funny too. Too few people signing up?! Outrage! Too many people signing up?! Outrage! Link to comment

Well to be fair he gets blamed for everything no matter if he has control of it or not. The same as every sitting President in history. Link to comment

But a website failure? I would be curious what other president was blamed for something similar to this. Link to comment

I would be curious what other president was blamed for something similar to this. It was even funnier when some were saying that a private company could have done the code properly when in fact a private company was hired to do the job. Stewart took a little jab the other night when he had Nate Silver on pimping his new website. Silver said they were still trying to get things figured out, and Jon said something to the effect of you're telling me it's been up a week and a half and it's not perfect yet? Link to comment

tschu Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 http://nymag.com/dai...-not-wreck.html A new political science paper by Matt Grossman and David Hopkins bears out this way of thinking about American politics. The authors find a fundamental asymmetry between the Republican and Democratic coalitions. They examined survey results and other data among voters, activists, and elites, and found that Republicans express their beliefs about government as abstract ideology (big government is bad) while Democrats express their beliefs in the form of benefits for groups. The differences are enormous: Uh, wow. This is pretty telling Link to comment
