Fwd: F DID YOU THINK AMERICANS WOULDN'T FIND THIS OUT !
DID YOU THINK AMERICANS WOULDN'T FIND THIS OUT !
Michelle Obama's Princeton classmate is executive at company that built Obamacare website.
First Lady Michelle Obama's Princeton classmate is a top executive at the company that earned the no-bid contract to build the failed Obamacare website.
Toni Townes-Whitley,
Princeton class of '85, is senior vice president at CGI Federal, which earned the no-bid contract to build the $678 million Obamacare enrollment website at Healthcare.gov. CGI Federal is the U.S. arm of a Canadian company.
Townes-Whitley and her Princeton classmate Michelle Obama are both members of the Association of Black Princeton Alumni.
Toni Townes,'85, is a onetime policy analyst with the General Accounting Office and previously served in the Peace Corps in Gabon, West Africa. Her decision to return to work, as an African-American woman, after six years of raising kids was applauded by a Princeton alumni publication in 1998.
George Schindler, the president for U.S. and Canada of the Canadian-based CGI Group, CGI Federal's parent company, became an Obama 2012 campaign donor after his company gained the Obamacare website contract.
On the government end, construction of the disastrous Healthcare.gov website was overseen by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), a division of longtime failed website-builder Kathleen Sebelius' Department of Health and Human Services.
CGI Federal did not immediately return a request for comment.
_______________________________________________
Soooooo...........
Let's see if we can connect the dots here ...
1.) No American companies considered;
2.) A Canadian company hired;
3.) No Bid contract for $93 million;
4.) Top executive at website-building firm went to school with Michelle Obama;
5.) Previous experience building gun registry for Canadian government;
6.) Fired by Canadian Government for overruns that cost Canada $100 million;
4.) Overruns for Obamacare enrollment website now costing U.S. $678 million, and still going up.
Does this bother anybody else besides me? And this is just one of their corrupt enterprises. The Obamas are worse than "Bernie" Madoff and far more dangerous to the country. These thieves and traitors should be in jail for the rest of their lives.
Pass this on, if you agree.
Fwd: FW: Why do we haw Obamacare?
This is a very interesting read
I'm a 54 year old consulting engineer and make between $60,000 and $125,000
per year, depending on how hard I work and whether or not there are work
projects out there for me.
My girlfriend is 61 and makes about $18,000 per year, working as a
part-time mail clerk.
For me, making $60,000 a year, under ObamaCare, the cheapest, lowest grade
policy I can buy, which also happens to impose a $5,000 deductible, costs
$482 per month.
For my girlfriend, the same exact policy, same deductible, costs $1 per
month. That's right, $1 per month. I'm not making this up.
Don't believe me? Just go to www.coveredca.gov , the ObamaCare website for
California and enter the parameters I've mentioned above and see for
yourself. By the way, my zip code is 93940. You'll need to enter that.
So OK, clearly ObamaCare is a scheme that involves putting the cost burden
of healthcare onto the middle and upper-income wage earners. But there's a
lot more to it. Stick with me.
And before I make my next points, I'd like you to think about something:
I live in Monterey County, in Central California. We have a large land mass
but just 426,000 residents - about the population of Colorado Springs or
the city of Omaha.
But we do have a large Hispanic population, including a large number of
illegal aliens, and to serve this group we have Natividad Medical Center, a
massive, Federally subsidized county medical complex that takes up an area
about one-third the size of the Chrysler Corporation automobile assembly
plant in Belvedere, Illinois (see Google Earth View). Natividad has
state-of-the-art operating rooms, Computed Tomography and Magnetic
Resonance Imaging, fully equipped, 24 hour emergency room, and much more.
If you have no insurance, if you've been in a drive-by shooting or have
overdosed on crack cocaine, this is where you go. And it's essentially
free, because almost everyone who ends up in the ER is uninsured.
Last year, 2,735 babies were born at Natividad. 32% of these were born to
out-of-wedlock teenage mothers, 93% of which were Hispanic. Less than 20%
could demonstrate proof of citizenship, and 71% listed their native
language as Spanish. Of these 876 births, only 40 were covered under [any
kind of] private health insurance. The taxpayers paid for the other 836.
And in case you were wondering about the entire population - all 2,735
births - less than 24% involved insured coverage or even partial payment on
behalf of the patient to the hospital in exchange for services. Keep this
in mind as we move forward.
Now consider this:
If I want to upgrade my policy to a low-deductible premium policy, such as
what I had with my last employer, my cost is $886 per month. But my
girlfriend can upgrade her policy to the very same level, for just $4 per
month. That's right, $4 per month. $48 per year for a zero-deductible,
premium healthcare policy - the kind of thing you get when you work at IBM
(except of course, IBM employees pay an average of $170 per month out of
pocket for their coverage).
I mean, it's bad enough that I will be forced to subsidize the ObamaCare
scheme in the first place. But even if I agreed with the basic scheme,
which of course I do not, I would *never* agree to subsidize premium
policies. If I have to pay $482 a month for a budget policy, I sure as hell
do not want the guy I'm subsidizing to get a better policy, for less that
1% of what I have to fork out each month for a low-end policy.
Why must I pay $482 per month for something the other guy gets for a
dollar? And why should the other guy get to buy an $886 policy for $4 a
month? Think about this: I have to pay $10,632 a year for the same thing
that the other guy can get for $48. $10,000 of net income is 60 days of
full time work *as an engineer*. $48 is something I could could pay for
collecting aluminum cans and plastic bottles, one day a month.
Are you with me on this? Are you starting to get an idea what ObamaCare is
really about?
ObamaCare is not about dealing with inequities in the healthcare system.
That's just the cover story. The real story is that it is a massive,
political power grab. Do you think anyone who can insure himself with a
premium policy for $4 a month will vote for anyone but the political party
that provides him such a deal? ObamaCare is about enabling, subsizdizing,
and expanding the Left's political power base, at taxpayer expense. Why
would I vote for anyone but a Democrat if I can have babies for $4 a month?
For that matter, why would I go to college or strive for a better job or
income if it means I have to pay real money for healthcare coverage? Heck,
why study engineering when I can be a schlub for $20K per year and buy a
new F-150 with all the money I'm saving?
And think about those $4-a-month babies - think in terms of propagation
models. Think of just how many babies will be born to irresponsible,
under-educated mothers. Will we get a new crop of brain surgeons and
particle physicists from the dollar baby club, or will we need more cops,
criminal courts and prisons? One thing you can be certain of: At $4 a
month, they'll multiply, and multiply, and multiply. And not one of them
will vote Republican.
ObamaCare: It's all about political power.

Fwd: Obama flowers
(Receptionist)
Hello, Welcome to ObamaFlowers!
My name is Trina.
How can I help you?
(Customer)
Hello, I received an email from Professional Flowers stating that my flower
order has been canceled and I should go to your exchange to reorder it. I
tried your website, but it seems like it is not working. So I am calling the
800 number.
(Receptionist)
Yes, I am sorry about the website. It should be fixed by the end of November.
But I can help you.
(Customer)
Thanks, I ordered a "Spring Bouquet" for our anniversary, and wanted it
delivered to my wife's work..
(Receptionist Interrupting)
Sir, "Spring Bouquets" do not meet our minimum standards, I will
be happy to provide you with Red Roses.
(Customer)
But I have always ordered "Spring Bouquets", done it for years, my wife likes them.
(Receptionist)
Roses are better, sir, I am sure your wife will love them.
(Customer)
Well, how much are they?
(Receptionist)
It depends sir, do you want our Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum package.
(Customer)
What's the difference?
(Receptionist)
6, 12, 18 or 24 Red Roses.
(Customer)
The Silver package may be okay, how much is it?
(Receptionist)
It depends sir, what is your monthly income?
(Customer)
What does that have to do with anything?
(Receptionist)
I need that to determine your government flower subsidy, then I can determine
how much your out of pocket cost will be. But if your income is below our
minimums for a subsidy, then I can refer you to our FlowerAid
department.
(Customer)
FlowerAid?
(Receptionist)
Yes, Flowers are a Right, everyone has a right to flowers. So, if you can't
afford them, then the government will supply them free of
charge.
(Customer)
Who said they were a Right?
(Receptionist)
Congress passed it, the President signed it and the Supreme Court found it
Constitutional.
(Customer)
Whoa.....I don't remember seeing anything in the Constitution regarding
Flowers as a Right.
(Receptionist)
It is not really a Right in the Constitution, but ObamaFlowers is
Constitutional because the Supreme Court Ruled it a "Tax". Taxes are
Constitutional. But we feel it is a Right.
(Customer)
I don't believe this....
(Receptionist)
It's the law of the land sir. Now, we anticipated most people would go for the
Silver Package, so what is your monthly income sir?
(Customer)
Forget it, I think I will forego the flowers this year...
(Receptionist)
In that case sir, I will still need your monthly income.
(Customer)
Why?
(Receptionist)
To determine what your 'non-participation' cost would be.
(Customer)
WHAT???? You can't charge me for NOT buying flowers!!!
(Receptionist)
It's the law of the land, sir, approved by the Supreme Court. It's $9.50 or 1%
of your monthly income.....
(Customer interrupting)
This is ridiculous, I'll pay the $9.50..
(Receptionist)
Sir, it is the $9.50 or 1% of your monthly income, whichever is greater.
(Customer)
ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? What a rip off!!
(Receptionist)
Actually sir, it is a good deal. Next year it will be 2%.
(Customer)
Look, I'm going to call my Congress member to find out what's going on here.
This is ridiculous. I'm not going to pay it.
(Receptionist)
Sorry to hear that sir, that's why I had the NSA track this call and obtain
the make and model of the cell phone you are using.
(Customer)
Why does the NSA need to know what kind of CELL PHONE I AM USING????
(Receptionist)
So they get your GPS coordinates sir
(Door Bell rings followed immediately by a loud knock on the door)
(Receptionist)
That would be the IRS sir. Thanks for calling ObamaFlowers, have a nice
day...and God Bless America

Fwd: Fw: Fwd: WHO IS ED MEZVINSKY YOU ASK?
Edward "Ed" Mezvinsky born January 17, 1937, is a former Democrat congressman.
As a Democrat, he represented Iowa 's 1st congressional district in the United States House of Representatives for two terms, from 1973 to 1977.
He sat on the House Judiciary Committee that decided the fate of Richard Nixon.
He & the Clintons were very politically intertwined for YEARS!!!
In March 2001, Mezvinsky was indicted and later pleaded guilty to 31 of 69 charges of bank fraud, mail fraud, and wire fraud.
He was sentenced to 80 months in (Federal) prison.
Ed Mezvinsky embezzled more than $10 million dollars from people via both a Ponzi scheme and the notorious Nigerian e-mail scams.
After serving five years in federal prison, he was released in April 2008. He remained on federal probation through 2011, and still owes $9.4 million in restitution to his victims.Marc and Chelsea Mezvinsky
He's Chelsea Clinton's father-in law.Has anyone heard mention of this in any of the media?
If this guy was Jenna or Barbara Bush's, or better yet, Sarah Palin's daughter's, father-in- law, the news would be an everyday headline.Some say there are no double standards in politics
S-u-r-e there aren't...??
