White House Struggles to Answer Questions About Harvard Faculty Outrage Over ObamaCare ............................................................................................................................. BY: Washington Free Beacon Staff January 6, 2015 linkis.com During the press briefing at the White House this afternoon, Josh Earnest was questioned about President Obama’s former colleagues at Harvard who are now complaining about the ACA they once supported. Harvard released a statement that the law is raising health insurance costs and therefore the university would have to change the plans for their staff. Ed Henry asked Earnest if it was “hypocritical” for these professors to claim that Obamacare was good for the country until they, themselves, had to pay more because of it. Earnest, for his part, seemed stumped by the question. He stuttered and stumbled through his answer before rattling off the typical White House talking points about the law. The irony that some of the biggest Obama and Obamacare supporters no longer celebrate the passage of their healthcare law or its impact on the healthcare system seems to have ruffled some feathers at the White House.

Ted, Probably less than 50. Either you're taking CJ's word as gospel, or the two of you are drawing this figure from some left-wing blog. In any case, "job creation" is a phrase of the left, and it's too bad that the supporters of the Keystone pipeline have to use that sort of language to argue in its favor. Just remember that any government project that is defended on the basis of "job creation" alone isn't worth it. Otherwise, you can just pay people to dig holes that others fill up. That "creates jobs," but it doesn't do anything useful. Tenchusatsu
