Midknight Review -- new and revised: Obama's request/demand for primetime on Tuesday, to tout his make-believe victory, was rejected by the Compliant Media.

Our lede for discussion:

Evan McMorris-Santoro / BuzzFeed:

Networks Snub Obama On Primetime Health Care Address — The White House sought primetime air the day Obamacare hit 7 million signups. — Larry Downing / Reuters — WASHINGTON — White House officials sought valuable primetime air for a rare, impromptu Tuesday night address to tout …

Discussion: Talking Points Memo, Liberaland, The Daily Caller, The Gateway Pundit, Weasel Zippers,Mediaite and The PJ Tatler

Editor's notes: In case you missed it, and the whole world did, Obama asked the "major" networks to give him an hour of primetime, Tuesday night, to brag about the fact that he was able to lie his way to 7.1 million signees to ObamaCare. The networks in a surprise break with this Administration of Lies, said, "No."

As you can see from "Discussion" notes, above, no major liberal media took up this story. It is as if it did not happen.

I think this is a most significant circumstance. Six months ago, the Compliant Media would have given Obama this request; today, that is no longer the case.

I believe that if Obama continues to govern in as nonsensical a manner as he has, for the past five years, if he continues to poison the waters, decreasing the Progressive World Without Borders crowd's opportunity for continued political power, the major media my turn on Obama in no uncertain terms. All we can do is hope for the best, but the above lede is evidence that this may be what is in the works, for once Messiah of the Left.

Thanks to "Obamacare," the uninsured rate in Kentucky has been cut by a whopping 42% in just six months.
The question is whether or not Mitch McConnell and Kentucky Republicans consider this good news.

They don't. They don't care about people, they care about hurting the president.

Nationwide, of the 48 million uninsured, only 1.8 million are enrolled in ObamaCare or or or or Medicaid. Medicaid is NOT ObamaCare but Obama counts Medicaid enrollment and those renewing their annual :membership." Half of the supposed "7.1" million went into Medicaid. ObamaCare? A monumental failure, no way how you cut it.

Obama lied about every major feature of ObamaCare, so why should anyone believe anything this clown has to say. Go ahead and tell me why we should trust this moron.

ObamaCare Medicaid Expansion is one of the biggest milestones in health care reform. You don't want America to be successful in giving healthcare to it's citizens. You want people to suffer for some selfish ankle biting agenda. Pathetic. We'll be going onward and upward with out the fat old Smithson.

Before ObamaCAre - 48 million without insurance. After the first year of ObamaCare (the sign up period IS over, 47 million and most of those have not paid their first premiums. Big deal.

Let's return the favor, shall we?

CLINTON: You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about. That’s why I believe if we are fortunate enough to win back the House and/or the senate, that’s when civility can start again. But until then, the only thing that the Republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength. And you heard how the Republican members led by Mitch McConnell, the president really demeaned the confirmation process.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
