as POTUS takes victory lap on 7.+ million enrollment.
3 in our family are enrolled because they had nothing despite all having part time jobs.
Hurray.

[Tarheel_Dem]

1. They are indeed "exploding". They don't believe it. Just like they didn't believe election night.

[calimary]

9. Didn't you love what Rachel Maddow did last night?

Now they're excusing it by their lame-ass blathering that somehow we're "cooking the books." 'Cause they were JUST SUUUUUUURE things were gonna go the way the bad guys wanted and expected. WRONG, AGAIN!!!!!!

I loved the segment she did - with all these video clips of these pompous know-it-all buttheads just so sure wrongney was gonna wipe the floor with President Obama in 2012. Just SURE! And they had the "statistics" to prove it. And every prediction they made was complete and total BUNK. Based on NOTHING. And worth just as much. And there was Rachel, quietly smiling and holding up various signs blaring what REALLY happened, EVERY time, as in - Obama WON. Every "wrongney's gonna have 300+ electoral votes and this and that and blah-blah-blah" - WRONG - AGAIN!!!!!!

WRONG, kkkarl rove.

WRONG, charles krauthammer.

WRONG, dick morris.

WRONG, lou dobbs.

WRONG, stuart varney.

WRONG, larry kudlow.

WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.

13. I! LOVED! IT! Randi Rhodes has been playing the "death spiral" montage on her show today.

[Iliyah]

21. RWers took over the only progressive radio station we had in the Los Angeles

I do miss Stephanie Miller and Randi Rhodes.

[leftyohiolib]

29. just so u know they are still doing their shows, steph is on free speech tv &

radio ,Randi is still on the air . they both have downloadable podcasts .. btw if u like them and u get the chance check out norman goldman you'll like him as well

[RoccoRyg]

30. I listen to them...

On the TuneIn radio app on my smart phone. You can get pretty much anything with that.

[Tarheel_Dem]

51. I don't know if you're able to stream, but you can still catch Steph & Randi online.

[calimary]

39. And I must say one thing more. Every time I see megyn kelly, there's part of me that questions

whoever's in charge of her makeup job. EVERYTHING below the cheekbones and down to her jawline and across her chin and the skin between her nose and upper lip - is noticeably darker and shadowy. Looks like she's literally got a 5 o'clock shadow workin' there. What the hell???? I don't know why they do that to her. It isn't even fair.

[MADem]

45. I don't watch that network but that sounds like it could be a lighting problem.

The makeup might be ok, but there might be a light overhead that's too light, or lighting directed at her that isn't compensating for too much brightness above.

[Tarheel_Dem]

53. I've only seen Kelly in clips, but I hadn't noticed. I'll have to pay closer attention.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

52. I love Randi Rhodes. nt

[Tarheel_Dem]

54. I have my days. When her show is all about Rush & Fox News, I switch to music. I don't care....

what Rush Limbaugh thinks about ANYTHING. When I tune in to progressive radio, I'm not really looking to be entertained, but informed. Most days, Randi does that.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

55. I look for information and am fine with the trashing of evil a-holes too. nt

[Cha]

22. Thanks for that calimary.. it was "Obama's Waterloo" alright.. only

the President was the Duke of Wellington and the REPEALERs were Bonaparte.

[stopwastingmymoney]

43. Her opening segment the day after the 2012 election was a thing of beauty

I still have it in my dvr

[Vietnameravet]

2. I love it and i especially love it when he stuck it up the elephants ass!!

Nothing but petty obstructionist..playing off fear and racism..with no plans of their own...always taking a wrecking ball to the country..

[marions ghost]

3. K&R

for Obamacare

[Wellstone ruled]

4. Noticed this today-----

were are the negative anti ACA hate Obammacare infomercials. Oh,that's right,deadline passed. What a bunch of useless pieces of shit the GOP has become. Their headed for the same demise as the Wig Party. Bring it on!!!!!

[Dopers_Greed]

5. Teabags are flying everywhere

Since the heads they are hung on are exploding

[KansDem]

6. No worries! The ACA should cover that!

Quick, where's my ACA insurance card?!!

[TrollBuster9090]

7. I don't know. Maybe the HMOs don't cover self-inflicted wounds.

ie-like charging, head-first into a brick wall 50 times in a row? There's got to be a limit.

[Grassy Knoll]

8. Mr. Porky Pants was having a fit .

I think he was going to pop.

[Voice for Peace]

18. lol who is mr porky pants?

[Cha]

23. My guess was limbaugh?

[Grassy Knoll]

26. ..

[Voice for Peace]

34. I immediately thought of Porky Rove and his manufactured realities.

[calimary]

40. Porky rove or Porky rush - meh, who cares? They're all gas giants to me.

[DFW]

49. Sing along with Barack, Jon & Rachel

Suspiciously resembling Peter, Paul & Mary, but with slightly (!!!) modified text:

[Blanks]

50. That's a good one. eom

[narnian60]

57. +1

[Enthusiast]

10. What a good feeling. Rightie's heads exploding.

[herding cats]

11. Republican exploding head syndrome - a preexisting condition now covered thanks to Obamacare!

One of the funniest parts is they coined the phrase Obamacare and made it stick. What they didn't expect was it being a success and the ACA going down in history as "Obamacare." Every time a person uses their new insurance they know who to thank, and it's sure not the Republicans who are working on their 51st wasted vote to repeal it.

[rdmtimp]

44. Yes, but does Obamacare cover CRIS....

Cranial Rectal Insertion Syndrome (another common wingnut maladay, btw).

[hedgehog]

12. My son is enrolled, and not only is my daughter enrolled, but she's able to get

her migraine meds again!

[Liberal_in_LA]

36. good news

[aquart]

47. That is such good news.

I'm in a migraine family.

[lovemydog]

14. Helping millions when they are sick

That is what Democrats should run on - and get the word out - in the next congressional elections. Screw poll numbers - explain it simply and run on it enthusiastically. Poll numbers will go up when you do that. As for repubs, if you don't want to help millions when they're sick, you shouldn't be in public office.

[bigwillq]

15. I am glad your family is being helped by the ACA.

[blackspade]

16. I'm not an ACA fan...

It didn't go far enough and had way too much industry input.....

But, that said, this is a huge achievement and Obama deserves his victory lap.

[IrishAyes]

37. You do know how to eat an elephant, don't you? One bite at a time.

[IronLionZion]

56. Canada got it one province at a time

so it begins http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermont_health_care_reform#Green_Mountain_Care

Vermont is very small and a good start. Once a big liberal state like California gets it, things will happen very quickly.

[blackspade]

60. That's what I'm hopeing.

[Lex]

17. I'm glad I'm enrolled! It's a big help to me.

[mountain grammy]

19. It feels good, all right! A huge step forward regulating the out of control insurance companies.

Next step.. public option. It'll happen. We're gonna win the midterms! Voter registration in full gear.

[ecstatic]

20. Caught a glimpse of faux news accusing the admin of

enrolling illegal aliens. They're so desperate!

[Iliyah]

24. Boner has already said the numbers are make believe

while McCain, Miss Lindsey and that gawd awful women want an Benghazi investigation. Koch suckers with other billionaires are spending tons of money "now" making Obamacare more of an confusion matter.

Issa will open up another investigations stating the obvious. . . Obama Adm. are cooking the books. There is a never ending bullshit parade of assholes with untold monies, it has to stop. We the American people need to kick these jerks out.

[Cha]

25. Liars gonna Lie.. Pic of Obama and Biden in Rose Garden Celebrating their BFD!

TOD

[IronLionZion]

27. They are sure the law will somehow collapse under its own weight, this year, or next, or eventually

They bet it all on fighting the ACA. They can't live in a world where it succeeds and they deeply resent anyone getting any benefit because they must be a taker. I don't get any subsidies and I still get accused of being a deadbeat by Repubs.

Conservative certainty is an amazing thing to observe. Remember the Iraq war, cold war, and most other fairy tales they believe in? Their economic plans have been debunked so many times yet they are certain beyond any doubt that rich people need much more money to create jobs, not the rest of us who consume and spend more of our money. Facts and evidence won't sway such people. Listen to them spew pure nonsense like its snowing outside so global warming is obviously fake.

These are people of faith, not science.

[tweeternik]

28. It was great watching Rachel's

trip down memory lane last night! Are those guys ever right about ANYTHING!?! Still amazes me that so many still believe anything they say.

Love Obama! Great job Mr. President!

[whopis01]

31. If they weren't signed up by today will that exploded head count as a pre-existing condition? n/t

[GETPLANING]

32. It's conservatives' worst nightmare coming true

Not that the ACA would fail...but that it would SUCCEED

[Proud Liberal Dem]

33. Just like Kevin Spacey in Superman Returns:

"WRONG!!!!!"

[IrishAyes]

35. A proud day for us all.

[Eleanors38]

38. Well, at least one of my predictions came true:

I said nearly 6 mos. ago the ACA would straighten out and become both a social policy success, and a political asset.

[Bigmack]

41. They simply will NOT let it go...

They can't. They'd be admitting that a black Democrat did something good.

Found this on FB... original source was Heritage... thru Michelle Bachmann.

[lonestarnot]

42. Watching it now while eating chocolate.

[napkinz]

46. Rethug heads exploding!

[mc51tc]

48. This news is a BFD. Look at KY - Mr. Mitch`s home sate

"Obamacare has cut Kentucky's uninsured population by more than 40 percent, signing up roughly 360,000 residents since enrollment opened up on Oct. 1, according to the Louisville Courier-Journal.

Some 75 percent of them -- 270,000 -- were previously uninsured. That means Kentucky's uninsured population of 640,000 has come down by 42 percent."

http://obamacaresignups.net/14/04/01/kentucky-corrected-331-totals-77k-qhps-294k-medicaid

Also, it has taken 50 years for LBJ to get the credit he deserves for passing Civil Rights, Medicare, Medicaid, etc. I hope that in 50 years, Obamacare gets the same as it gets better with age. Nancy Pelosi saved the bill in 2010. She deserves a place on Mt. Rushmore as history will be kind to her.

[OnlinePoker]

58. Have they all paid for their plans?

Last edited Wed Apr 2, 2014, 02:58 PM - Edit history (1)

That's one thing they were mentioning on NPR yesterday is there may have been 7 million enrolees but won't know exactly how many have officially signed up until they've paid their first month's fees (if they have anything they need to pay).

[Shadowflash]

59. I finished signing up two weeks ago

I received my new cards on Monday. I have yet to get my policy info or my bill to pay.

I'm told the bill and my policy will show up somewhere between 2 and 3 weeks.

When it does, I'm going to be paying BC/BS not 'Obamacare' or 'the government' so, when they say people haven't paid for their Obamacare yet, it's nothing but a red herring.

[napkinz]

61. Republicans ... they can't handle the truth!

62. MUST SEE: Glenn Beck Goes Insane Over Obamacare Enrollment Numbers! (Video)

Josh Kilburn
April 2, 2014

If you ever took a chemistry class in high school, odds are, one of the first things you wanted to do was make something blow up. Today, Glenn Beck was that chemistry experiment.


While he was reviewing the Obamacare enrollment figures, he had an utter meltdown on air. Having reached critical mass, he launched into a tantrum, calling the media “rat bastards” for not holding President Obama responsible for his, “pathological lying.”


Perhaps some projection is at play here?
