If you're part of the MSNBC brain trust, things are...difficult...right now. You spent the last three years denying Obamacare's shortcomings, refusing to entertain the notion that Obama was fallible, and promising your meager viewership that everything was going to be great once the American people saw how wonderful the ACA really was. Then it launched, and you looked like a complete sucker.
No one likes to be so thoroughly embarrassed, which may be why the network has been sharpening its knives over the botched ACA rollout.
This morning on "Morning Joe" the panel was - again - discussing the Healthcare.gov train wreck. Usually when they do this, they couch their observations in terms of Obama's greatness and his inherent ability to fix the problem. This time, things were different. Joe and his guests went for the jugular. Watch as they portray the administration as a teenager throwing an out-of-control party, while accusing a "government in crisis" of "outright lying" to the American people about Obamacare's enrollment numbers.
OK, so everyone but Mika Brzezinski has seen the light. She's still a dutifully silent administration lemming. As for the rest of the crew, this would be strong language for any news network. At MSNBC, it's simply unheard of.
Considering that the Morning Joe gang always tries to portray the President's policies in the best possible light, it makes you wonder if they have information suggesting things are even worse than they're admitting.
