President Blame-Shifter Wants to ‘Pivot’ Away From ObamaCare Debacle Story

Posted on | November 5, 2013 | 58 Comments

Yeah, that story is so . . . October.

Here we go: President readying for another
pivot — far away from Obamacare
— Twitchy

Shock: Obama, Biden Stop Mentioning Obamacare
in Speeches; Obama Hopes to, Get This,
Pivot to a Different Subject
— Ace of Spades

New White House ObamaCare strategy: Let’s
talk about something other than ObamaCare
— AllahPundit, Hot Air

You know what this reminds me of? President Clinton claiming that the Lewinsky scandal was distracting him from “doing the work the American people sent me here to do,” as if sodomizing interns was not a distraction. The Wall Street Journal:

Problems with the government’s health-care website are forcing President Barack Obama to redraw his plans for the rest of the year as he looks for ways to regain political momentum.
Scrapping a planned push to drive people to the balky website, the White House is organizing a flurry of events on the economy and immigration, as well as health care, a senior administration official said. . . .
The president’s senior aides had at one time planned for him to be holding events aimed at encouraging Americans to shop for insurance on the new federal health-care website, with stops in places with high numbers of uninsured people.But the problems plaguing the site have forced them to shift strategies.

It’s amazing how the media cooperates in these administration propaganda campaigns: “Senior aides” tell reporters what the White House message strategy is and the reporters then help push the White House message. Then the media report the story of how successful the White House message strategy was — as if they were covering something other than their own coverage. It’s a Mobius loop of bullshit.
