Obama is still "proud" of Affordable Care Act

I have continued to cover stories about the Affordable Care Act and the continuous grief Obama has received from this act throughout my blog.  This week in a television interview Obama was still standing behind the act and was quoted stating, "that he would be extraordinarily proud of the program."  Now the issue is the website.  The government is focusing on the website because amidst all of the chaos Healthcare.gov was down for eleven hours.  I also saw something on the news this morning about the site shutting down and having issues but, honestly, I find that some media outlets make sure to introduce this because they want to make sure the population is notified about ANY AND ALL issues that the Affordable Care Act has.  In addition, I find that Obama has tried his hardest with the program, has apologized to America for the issues, and it is important, yet hard to believe, that he continues his stance behind the program instead of denouncing it because of the struggles it has faced. 
This quote describes his devotion to the program (even though he knows it has flaws!)
"I continue to believe and [I'm] absolutely convinced that, at the end of the day, people are going to look back at the work we've done to make sure that in this country you don't go bankrupt when you get sick, that families have that security," said President Obama.

Do you think it is good that Obama is still standing by the program or do you think he should have just dropped it??

Obama Apologizes...

As many people have seen Obama has recently been on the news apologizing to any individuals that are being kicked off their health care plan and for any other issues associated with the new health care bill (Obamacare).  I found this article the other day and it raises a couple questions about the issue.  First, the article states that Obama apologized to congressional democrats for letting them down with the health care bill; however, the bill was approved by Congress.  I am confused as to why he is apologizing to Congressional Democrats when they obviously approved the health care plan.  I understand that Democrats may be more inclined or more able to approve what Obama is introducing but they knew of the bill and could have examined possible outcomes of it.  In addition, I think that Obama is right in apologizing to the American people, but I also find that his apology allows for the bias news media to write that he is stating what a failure Obamacare is and has owned up to being a bad president.  I do not believe he is our worst President and I also do not believe that he needs to take the blame for THE WHOLE Obamacare issues because there are other people that had to sign off on the new health care plan.  What do you think??

Here are a couple political cartoons I found that go along with some of the more recent topics I have blogged about.....




Most of these are bias and against Obama but you get the point.

Google Barge

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-24819850

Okay so this story I ran across on BBC news about the Google barges off of the US coast poses many questions and has been circulating rumors.  The barge a four story structure on the deck and so far Google has not commented on what the facility will be used for but they do have a patent from 2009 for a "water based" data center.  The article states several different rumors that are circulating that some seem completely outrageous like floating data centers powered by wave action and others seem more adequate like the deck will be fitted with showrooms to form a type of "party deck" on top. 

After reading this article it made me think about how the media speculates and starts rumors about the story because they do not know the answer or have all of the information.  Have you noticed that this has been happening more often?
