Yesterday morning, as the Obamacare exchanges came on line across the country, the media was falling all over itself to explain the new system. If you watched any of the mainstream coverage, it was generally fawning. Most reports focused on how easy, inexpensive, and long-overdue Obamacare truly is. As always, MSNBC - that bastion of thoughtful left-wing analysis and propaganda - was there to do its part.
After all, Harry Reid may have shut down the government but that doesn't mean that the President's official media mouthpiece gets the day off.
So, MSNBC anchor and journalist, Mara Schiavocampo, was told to get on the exchange website and explain just how simple signing up for the new system is.
...then it crashed.
...then she called the help line, where she couldn't get any help.
...then she was trapped in voice-mail hell.
...then she spent a half hour on hold.
....then she got frustrated and gave up.
"At this point," Schiavocampo said, "I'm going to hang up and call it a day. If I were signing up for myself, this is where my patience would be exhausted."
We'd like to offer our congratulations to MSNBC for providing the world with a video that absolutely sums up the Obamacare experience so far. It's just priceless.
Props to the National Review, who shared this vid on their Youtube page.
