I confess. I'm enjoying the rolling disaster that is the Obamacare rollout. I'm having a hard time figuring out what I'm enjoying more: that the Democrat wall of silence is showing signs of cracking; that Kathleen Sebelius gave a speech at a party last night, instead of doing her job; that Obama gave out a phone number during a Rose Garden speech; that only three of the thirteen people - very average people, who would not normally have done anything to warrant a Rose Garden appearance, but who were chosen for their having hurdled a low bar indeed - actually completed the first step in Obamacare; that in many states the numbers of successful registrants are in the single digits; that the most optimistic projections of having Obamacare working are in the range of several months; or that today, many top Democrats are signaling their openness to the delay of the Individual Mandate, when two weeks ago those selfsame Democrats shut down the government over the Individual Mandate.
But I want to talk about accountability.
Fast and Furious: Attorney General Holder perjured himself, and was not even reprimanded.
Benghazi: No one of note fired. Blame laid at the feet of the dead Ambassador.
IRS: Lois Lerner allowed to retire with full benefits.
Obamacare: $493 million spent before October 1st for a website that does not function. No one fired.
Twitter: Staffer calls Valerie Jarrett a vacuous cipher. Fired. (Note: I met this clown once. He is an asshat.)
So, what's the message here? If I'm Obama, and you agree with me, don't worry kid, you're protected? As long as you spout the party line, you can do no professional wrong?
Isn't that kind of like, mmm, I dunno, the Communist Party?
