While Obama administration officials have refused to publicly disclose the number of enrollments into the Affordable Care Act, President Obama’s signature legislative achievement, a new report shows the initial figure is very low.
According to documents obtained by CBS News, just six people managed to sign up for health plans on the federal government’s troubled health care site on the first day. By the end of the second day, Wed, Oct. 2, a total of 248 people had enrolled in the federal exchanges nationwide.
The data was compiled in “war room” meetings convened within the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services after the website effectively crashed on the day of its launch.

Everyone has a compulsion. Some people hoard. They can't help it. Logic isn't a requirement for their reality.

Meanwhile while people are beating Pinatas of their favorite politician, Monsanto is making sure you have no idea what the hell is in your food. Because you're supposed to be too stupid to make intelligent choices. Big coal is making another go at letting themselves dump more tons of mercury into your lakes.

Don't focus on the cartoons in office. Focus on the issue of what corporations are doing to you. Manipulating you.

I was walking today and thinking about what must have been discussed when they wrote the constitution. Those boys were of common mind. And looked to save us from politicians like them. What they wrote was good and genuine. They had our best interests in mind.

If a bunch of the current mangy lot in Washington were to re-write the Constitution today, it would enslave every one of us more than we already are. Corporations would have even more rights than humans (today, they're only equal to humans). No restrictions. We eat what they say, but you have a choice of three flavors...

yes, "civilized" people like you, who make prejudiced remarks regarding the trustworthiness of black people anywhere, and baselessly accuse any black person who succeeds as a product of affirmative action.

There is no historical precedent for the number of cabinet-level nominees that Republicans have blocked or delayed in the Obama administration. Chuck Hagel became the first defense secretary nominee ever filibustered. John Brennan, the C.I.A. director, was the subject of an epic filibuster by Senator Rand Paul. Kathleen Sebelius and John Bryson, the secretaries of health and human services and commerce, were subjected to 60-vote confirmation margins instead of simple majorities. Susan Rice surely would have been filibustered and thus was not nominated to be secretary of state.
Jacob Lew, the Treasury secretary, was barraged with 444 written questions, mostly from Republicans, more than the previous seven nominees for that position combined. Many were ridiculous and had nothing to do with Mr. Lew’s fitness for office, such as a demand to explain the Treasury’s social media policies, or questioning an infographic on the department’s blog eight months ago.
Gina McCarthy, the nominee to lead the Environmental Protection Agency, is being blocked by Senator Roy Blunt of Missouri until he gets the answers he wants on a local levee project. And Thomas Perez, nominated to be labor secretary, is being held up by Senator David Vitter of Louisiana, who is angry about the Justice Department’s enforcement of voting rights laws. By comparison, there were four filibusters of cabinet-level positions during George W. Bush’s two terms, and one under President Ronald Reagan.
There have also been several impediments to executive-branch nominees beneath the cabinet level, the most troubling being that of Richard Cordray, whom Mr. Obama has renominated to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Because the bureau cannot properly run without a full-time director, Republicans intend to nullify many of its powers by blocking Mr. Cordray for the second time.

Those people you speak of that are in pain can get all the health care they need...You should try to get some of them to sign up...If you can get six people to sign up in one day that would be huge...That would be the daily double..
