| With every decision Gov. Bobby Jindal makes, the message becomes clearer to hundreds of thousands of Louisiana residents who are uninsured: The state has no interest in helping you. Bruce Greenstein, secretary of Louisiana´s Department of Health and Hospitals, sent a letter Wednesday to federal health officials refusing to take part in the creation of a health care exchange where uninsured residents will be able to buy affordable policies from private insurers. The state´s decision won´t stop the creation of the exchange, which is part of President Barack Obama´s health care reform plan, but will leave it to the federal

The election is ten days passed and out come the knives for Governor Jindal. He must be a good choice for President.
Like the last election, the mainstream media and their buddies at the DNC are getting started on the destruction of the Republican field.

If zero´s plan is so damn good, WHY not set up federal offices to run the stupid thing? The new orleans picky un would have to support zero as they sold out their own people to the highest bedder many years ago.

Sorry, forget to give a hat-tip to Limbaugh. Limbaugh opined the reason for Obamacles moving the date is to give time for all his pet newspaper editors to flay the governors who are refusing to take part in health care exchanges.
Fight, fight, fight!!!

The "STATE" cannot provide insurance for anyone without first taking the money from taxpayers who are having a tough enough time paying for their own insurance especially now the Obamacare is kicking and costs are rising.
Enough of this coddling lifestyles of the non-workers or content part time 8-16 hours per week workers just enough to get big Earned Income and child tax credits refunded on average of $4,500.

I think some people really do respond without one clue what is in the article. Jindal is simply not putting his rubber stamp on Obamacare because his state, like all states, is bankrupt. Louisiana shoudl not be made to pay one cent of this monstrosity. If this is what Obama and his takers want then the Fed should foot the whole bill. The exchanges will be around a max of 10 years anyway as the private insurance industry will be destroyed by Obamacare so why waste huge amount of state funds putting together a program MEANT to fail.

Romney and Jindal are both right. Romney is right about the problem and Jindal is right about the solution, namely that the GOP must frame its appeal to all Americans.

he exchanges will happen. It isn´t a matter of Jindel stopping them, its a matte of who runs them. So the fat, sick and lazy will be able to get free goobernment healthcare through a Federal exchange instead of a state exchange. Big deal!

Teachable moment here, Bobby. This is what you can expect from here on out. The craven fear of calling a parasite entitlement junkie a parasite entitlement junkie will not induce the parasite entitlement junkies to vote for you. You´ll get out-pandered by the Democrats every time. You and/or Rubio and/or Jeb Bush are going to find that out in 2016 when you get your butts handed to you again.

#6 and others speak for me. Let the feds run the exchange. Why have a different bureaucracy in each state.
The feds will just end up bullying the state exchange anyway. And Washington will change the regulations and details at any time for political reasons.
As I suggested elsewhere the feds should contract exchange operation to the post office. It needs more revenue and already has buildings and staff almost everywhere.
Postmaster Of Waco and Chairman Of The Death Panel seems like a nice title.

Bobby realizes that taxpayer have a finite amount of money but governments view their funds as unlimited. Two rules of governements in general: They always spend more than they take in and they never take in enough to satisify their wants.

Jindal is playing the games three moves deep.
There is no enumerated power for the feds to wade into individual States and meddle in health care. When they do, constitutional legal challenges will bog down ObamaNoCare for years.
Jindal is calling the federal bluff. The ball is in Hussein’s court. He punted the stand-off to February, but he’ll have to stand up at some point.

A theater critic is unrepentant after he quite literally took the law into his own hands and smashed the cellphone of another patron who refused to stop using it during a performance on Wednesday night. Kevin Williamson, a writer for the National Review, was attending a performance of ´Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812,´ described as an ‘electro-pop opera’ based on ‘War and Peace’ and playing in New York at Kazino, a temporary structure beside The Standard Hotel. Writing about the incident on the National Review’s website, Williamson said he recommended the show but thought the audience

In an age of terrorism, we have become used to seeing armed police at major railway stations and airports, or guarding other potential targets such as embassies. But when officers with guns are needed to patrol the streets of an English town because of an upsurge in gang shootings, it seems we have reached something of a watershed in our national life. The images of paramilitary-style policemen with assault rifles escorting parents and children to school in Luton are a shocking confirmation that law and order has collapsed in parts of our country. In the past four months, there have

The Ukip leader Nigel Farage has condemned the "fascist scum" who forced him to take refuge in an Edinburgh pub and hung up on a BBC Scotland interview over outrage at the "hatred" in its questioning. The leader of the UK Independence Party said the "excesses of Scottish nationalism" can be "pretty ugly" and "deeply unpleasant" after he was surrounded and hassled by hardline demonstrators yesterday. [Snip] Asked about how many elected representatives he has in Scotland, Mr Farage said: "Absolutely none, but rather more than the BBC. We could have had this interview in England a couple of years

It’s lasted four years, but President Obama’s political honeymoon is finally over. He had his share of troubles during the first term, but at least his character seemed beyond reproach. For most of the public he represented real, historic change: not just the first black president, but a president determined to restore moral principle to the White House. It also helped that parts of the American press appeared lovestruck. The news broadcaster Chris Matthews once said that hearing Obama speak sent "a thrill going up my leg". Now the thrill is gone. Just five months into his second term

This has been a nightmare week for Barack Obama, without a doubt the worst of his presidency so far. [Snip] Holder was simply unable or unwilling to answer most key questions, and demonstrated a level of contempt for elected officials in Congress that was breathtaking. It was yet another public relations disaster for the Obama team. In addition the administration has come under heavy fire over the Justice Department’s monitoring of phone records belonging to Associated Press journalists. All this has combined to create a perfect storm in the first year of Obama’s second term, a wave of scandals

Watching President Obama trying to dodge raindrops and responsibility yesterday reminded me of the moment when Dorothy pulls back the curtain and discovers that the Wizard of Oz is “just a man.” Stripped of his spell of mystery and power, the wizard is worse than mortal. He’s a fake. So it was with Obama in the Rose Garden. His performance was tired and trite, ordinary to the point of dull. His veneer of passion was so transparent that you could see him trying to summon his old-time magic by pushing the buttons

STANDING BEFORE reporters Thursday, President Obama declined an invitation to compare the recent scandals weighing down his administration with those that forced President Nixon to resign in 1974. So allow us to do the work for him: There is no comparison. Nixon, in a series of crimes that collectively came to be known as Watergate, directed from the White House and Justice Department a concerted campaign against those he perceived as political enemies, in the process subverting the FBI, the IRS, other government agencies and the electoral process to his nefarious purposes. Mr. Obama has done nothing of the kind.

The State Department, under Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, created an arrangement for her longtime aide and confidante Huma Abedin to work for private clients as a consultant while serving as a top adviser in the department. Ms. Abedin did not disclose the arrangement — or how much income she earned — on her financial report. It requires officials to make public any significant sources of income. An adviser to Mrs. Clinton, Philippe Reines, said that Ms. Abedin was not obligated to do so. The disclosure of the agreement that Ms. Abedin made with the State Department comes as her husband,

The White House on Wednesday released 94 pages of emails between top administration and intelligence officials who helped shape the talking points about the attacks in Benghazi, Libya, that the CIA would provide to policymakers in both the legislative and executive branches. The documents, first reported by THE WEEKLY STANDARD in articles here and here, directly contradict claims by White House press secretary Jay Carney and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that the revisions of those talking points were driven by the intelligence community and show heavy input from top Obama administration officials, particularly those at the State Department.

On Thursday´s NBC Today, in a desperate attempt to deflect from the scandals engulfing the Obama administration, co-host Savannah Guthrie wondered: "I read a headline yesterday that said Republicans see blood in the water. That they see a president who´s very vulnerable politically. Is there a danger that they will overreach?" Chief White House correspondent Chuck Todd agreed with the slanted premise: "There is. I mean, that´s what happened to Republicans in 1998 with Bill Clinton.

President Obama’s press conference in the rain was not a success, if by success, his supporters would mean an event which convinces anyone who doesn’t work for him that he’s getting ahead of the scandal deluge. The sight of a Marine holding an umbrella over his head only added to the weirdness of the event. So what did we learn? 1. He has full confidence in Attorney General Eric Holder, the man who purportedly recused himself (whenever) without putting it in writing (whatever). When asked about the untrammeled snooping on Associated Press reporters and editors,

“I look forward to taking some questions at tomorrow’s press conference,” President Obama said last night, after announcing the resignation of the acting IRS commissioner Steven Miller. The president scheduled a noon press conference today with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan in honor of his visit. Reporters, however, found themselves waiting outside in the rain for Obama, who was 47 minutes late. Only New York Times reporter Mark Landler had an umbrella.
