From NY Magazine: The continuous stream of Obama's purposeful lies that are unrivaled by former White House occupants (and a lot more below the video) H/T
In the U.S., the federal government is proving itself to be exceptionally inept. The roll-out of Obamacare has been an epic failure, once again showcasing the amazing incompetence of Democrats, liberals, progressives and other big government types. It's so bad, even the icon of progressive incompetence, Jimmy Carter, is disgusted with Obama.
Now combine this galactic-sized incompetence with all the Obamacare lies that Democrats and Obama pushed during the 2012 election and the direct result is that real humans get hurt, badly.
With that in mind, below is a list of Obamacare headlines from October 1 through November 3, 2013 - a painful diary of abysmal failure, in chronological order, from the most recent to oldest, documenting big government buffoonery in all its glory.
And remember, these are same inept souls who actually believe they can control and direct the climate.

WAPO: How Political Calculation Won Out Over Technical Considerations with HealthCare.gov. Posted by Glenn Reynolds at 8:37 am
Government Is Magic: Healthcare.gov showed us that behind all the smoother and shinier designs was the same old clunky government where everything gets done because the right companies hire the right lobbyists and everything costs ten times what it should....A government that can’t build a health care website isn’t likely to be very good at running health care for 330 million people. But the technocrats aren’t so concerned with being good as with being in charge. Posted at by Glenn Reynolds on Nov 03, 2013 at 8:30 am Link
