Would You Like a Happy Ending?

This week saw the totally unsurprising revelation that around 100,000 Americans may (or likely may not) have obtained insurance through Obamacare, but over 5,000,000 Americans have already lost the insurance the president swore up, down, and sideways that they could keep.

Which is why yesterday, Barack Obama announced that with no legal authority whatsoever,  he's telling evil, "bad apple" insurance companies to renew the rotten, substandard, cancelled, and (oh yeah!) currently illegal policies that they used to sell.  Mind you, the president isn't making those policies legal again - he's simply issuing an executive directive for the Department of Justice not to prosecute those insurers who break the law.

If that seems confusing, just try imagining that the despicable, profit-mongering insurance companies are now receiving the same treatment as illegal aliens - lovingly embraced by the Obama administration and gifted with a "get out of jail free" card.

This move throws the already screwed up health insurance industry into total chaos. Prices are expected to rise for anyone unfortunate enough to actually have insurance,  insurance companies will need to renegotiate complicated deals with hospitals and provider networks, and confused consumers who couldn't (and can't) navigate Healthcare.gov will now be trying to strike deals with insurance companies who may no longer even do business in their state.

But the damage isn't limited to the healthcare or insurance industries. The "Obamacare uncertainty" which has bedeviled the economy and suppressed hiring has turned into absolute certainty that the idiots behind the Affraudable Care Act, from Obama on down, are lawless liars who couldn't find their own asses with both hands and a GPS unit.

Or, for that matter, with a "free" Obamacare colonoscopy.

@Readers- Once again, I'm just going to let the graphics do the talking today. Because, as the old saying goes, "one picture is worth a thousand audits."  -Stilt

Deja Preview

Readers- I accidentally posted Wednesday's cartoons for a short while Tuesday night. So if you thought you saw some rib-ticklers on here that are now missing, it's not your imagination. But they'll be back just after midnight - along with yet another new cartoon I added to the mix!

Commandeerer in Chief

First and foremost, Hope n' Change Cartoons wants to salute and express the deepest possible gratitude to every man and woman who has served this country in uniform. You are the best among us, and we are in your debt. Veteran's Day should be every day.

But we couldn't bring ourselves to adorn this page with pictures of flags and parades today. Because such honors seem like a faux, feel good lie when we've saddled our military with a president who clearly has no respect for them, their mission, or the country and Constitution they've sacrified so much for.

Our veterans deserve every honor we can give them. But more than another fireworks display, they deserve to see honor restored to the position of Commander in Chief.  

Their Commander in Chief.

Until the rest of us accomplish that, we not only owe our veterans deep thanks...but the sincerest of apologies.
