‘Reeks of fear and failure’: WH’s #7MillionAndCounting claim put in cold perspective

http://twitter.com/#!/John63_/status/451080709860757504

As Twitchy reported, Obama and the Democrats are engaged in full-on fits of ecstasy over the news that Obamacare signups (read: not necessarily enrollments) have supposedly surpassed the 7 million mark:

President Obama’s even going to take to the stage to give himself a special round of applause:

Lucky us.

Here’s the thing, though: As of yet, the White House has been less than forthcoming with any real, concrete data about signups or enrollments, at least with the public. So, we’re not about to start taking them at their word now.

James Woods: Will Lois Lerner finally desert the sinking S.S. Obama?

http://twitter.com/#!/RealJamesWoods/status/477550880439697408

As Twitchy reported, the IRS claims to have lost more than two years of Lois Lerner’s emails, including communications with the White House and other agencies, including the Treasury and Justice Departments and the Federal Election Commission. Actor James Woods wonders if this is a sign that Lerner will jump ship rather than take the fall.

‘Is that the Shake Weight?’ Maybe Obama should pump up security detail [pics, video]

http://twitter.com/#!/ninamarie_4/status/474209361296777217

Well, somebody surreptitiously grabbed footage of President Mr. Universe pumping iron at a Polish hotel gym:

( function() { var func = function() { var iframe_form = document.getElementById(‘wpcom-iframe-form-1dabda6570ddbf91b32176f1916b4bde-5407de2ab243e’); var iframe = document.getElementById(‘wpcom-iframe-1dabda6570ddbf91b32176f1916b4bde-5407de2ab243e’); if ( iframe_form && iframe ) { iframe_form.submit(); iframe.onload = function() { iframe.contentWindow.postMessage( { ‘msg_type’: ‘poll_size’, ‘frame_id’: ‘wpcom-iframe-1dabda6570ddbf91b32176f1916b4bde-5407de2ab243e’ }, window.location.protocol + ‘//wpcomwidgets.com’ ); } }// Autosize iframe var funcSizeResponse = function( e ) { var origin = document.createElement( ‘a’ ); origin.href = e.origin;// Verify message origin if ( ‘wpcomwidgets.com’ !== origin.host ) return;// Verify message is in a format we expect if ( ‘object’ !== typeof e.data || undefined === e.data.msg_type ) return;switch ( e.data.msg_type ) { case ‘poll_size:response’: var iframe = document.getElementById( e.data._request.frame_id );if ( iframe && ” === iframe.width ) iframe.width = ‘100%’; if ( iframe && ” === iframe.height ) iframe.height = parseInt( e.data.height );return; default: return; } }if ( ‘function’ === typeof window.addEventListener ) { window.addEventListener( ‘message’, funcSizeResponse, false ); } else if ( ‘function’ === typeof window.attachEvent ) { window.attachEvent( ‘onmessage’, funcSizeResponse ); } } if (document.readyState === ‘complete’) { func.apply(); /* compat for infinite scroll */ } else if ( document.addEventListener ) { document.addEventListener( ‘DOMContentLoaded’, func, false ); } else if ( document.attachEvent ) { document.attachEvent( ‘onreadystatechange’, func ); } } )();

Much to the amusement of the Twitterverse:

OK, we can’t lie: That footage is all kinds of hilarious. But it also raises an important question:

http://twitter.com/#!/gretawire/status/474210560679362560

Mr. President, do yourself a favor next time: Get better security. It could save your life — and a boatload of embarrassment.

‘Iran won the Powerball’: ABC’s Jonathan Karl reports U.S. just made $1.7 billion ‘direct payment’ to Iran

When Obama talks about getting tough with Iran, apparently he means writing a $1.7 billion check to the regime.

Clearly.

This is unacceptable and disgusting. It’s also just another day under the Obama administration.

What makes ‘moderate Syrian rebels’ different? Iowahawk explains

http://twitter.com/#!/000Dillon000/status/509747329407418369

President Obama reportedly thinks it’d be a great idea to arm and train “moderate Syrian rebels.” Yeah, about that:

A spokesman for the family of Steven Sotloff told CNN that the slain American journalist was sold to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria militant group by “so-called moderate rebels” and the family’s relationship with the Obama administration is “strained.”

“For the first time we can say Steven was sold at the (Syrian) border,” Barak Barfi told Anderson Cooper on Monday. “Steven’s name was on a list that he had been responsible for the bombing of a hospital. This was false. Activists spread his name around.”

…

“We believe these so-called moderate rebels that people want our administration to support – one of them sold him probably for something between 25,000 and 50,000 dollars and that was the reason he was captured,” Barfi said, citing “sources on the ground.”

But maybe these “moderate” rebels will be different from those other guys:

Embarrassing White House ‘health care bracketology’ GIFs slam dunked

http://twitter.com/#!/JeromeEHudson/status/445615545141166080

The White House, hoping that Obamacare can ride on the coattails of the NCAA basketball tournament, is featuring the GIF-heavy “16 sweetest reasons to #GetCoveredNow”:

http://twitter.com/#!/WhiteHouse/status/445598183901503488

Among the 16 “competitors” in the Obamacare “tournament” is this:

http://twitter.com/#!/charliespiering/status/445611169668009984

Yes, this is actually on the White House website as a reason to #GetCoveredNow:

Who hasn’t that happened to?

This has gone beyond embarrassment.

Another “health care bracketology” competitor is a “birth control is free” happy duck GIF:

The White House doesn’t say who actually gets stuck with the bill for that particular “freebie.”

And those are just two of the 16 “competitors” in “health care bracketology.”

So, is this how Biden tried to out-do Obama’s photo op hug with Nina Pham?

http://twitter.com/#!/nickdqwk/status/525709069214953474

No, for real; it’s hilarious. As Twitchy readers know, President Obama had a photo op with nurse Nina Pham, who has been declared Ebola-free.

Not to be outdone, did Joe Biden do this?

Joe Biden, desperate to upstage Obama's hug with the Ebola victim just drank from the WH toilet she just used.
