Gregory:
OMG the Obamacare
website
is slow – can it survive??
Gregory:
Governor Kasich how do you
answer
the charge that Obama has
said
there is no excuse for the slow website?
Kasich:
Obamacare crushed small
businesses,
costs jobs and drives up costs
Gregory:
that's fine but I want to you
to
bash Obama about the website
Kasich:
Obama is also tapping our phones
Gregory:
um what?
Gregory:
look we need to figure out
why
we're polarized and also
is
Obama spying on your grandma
Gregory:
How disappointed are you??
Beshear:
Obamacare is incredibly
popular
in my state
Gregory:
but mostly Medicaid and
not
the young and the restless
Beshear:
Obamacare is working in Kentucky!
Gregory:
how frustrated are you at Obama?!
Beshear:
calm down Fluffy
Gregory:
no no no – Obama
is a bad
bad man!
Beshear:
I'm more disappointed in the
media
for their terrible reporting
Gregory:
I'm going to talk to Jon Kasich now
Kasich:
we solved health care costs
in
Ohio which Obamacare doesn't do
Gregory:
but how do answer the
charge
that you are very compassionate?
Kasich:
look they're offering free
money
and we took it
Gregory:
okay
Kasich:
also drug addiction and mental
illness
affect white people too you know
Gregory:
good point
Gregory:
Governor Beshear how do
you
answer the charge that Kasich
is
right about everything?
Beshear:
he's not
Gregory:
shouldn't someone be fired?
Beshear:
besides you?
Gregory:
we're out of time
[

Gregory:
Obama said you would get to
keep
your health plan so why are you
cutting
people off their health care plan
Geraghty:
look you're getting
better
health insurance for less money
Gregory:
you may pay less in
the
end but it's still bad
Geraghty:
that makes no sense
Gregory:
but I may pay more
when
I like my bad plan
Geraghty:
are you an idiot
Gregory:
will people pay more?
Geraghty:
most will pay less
Gregory:
will no one bash
this
President for me?!
Gregory:
sir are you scamming young
healthy
people who probably don't
need
health insurance until they need it
Geraghty:
no
Gregory:
but young people will not
get
on a slow website – they can't
navigate
technology
Geraghty:
doubtful
Gregory:
did you warn the white House
that
the website could be slow?
Geraghty:
of course we did dumbass
Gregory:
aha!
Geraghty:
have you ever been to
the
Meet The Press website – its sucks
[

Mitchell:
The White House is facing outrage
over
reports that Obama has been spying
on
Germany for more than a decade
and
on millions of Frenchman
Carney:
that was years ago
Jon
Stewart: OMG Obama is covering
up
for George Bush!
Mitchell:
the bastion of freedom Saudi Arabia
protested
the U.S. failure to bomb Syria
Gregory:
oh noe!
Mitchell:
also that weak stupid Obama
is
too easily charmed by those wily Persians!
Gregory:
thanks Andrea
[

Gregory:
the spying Obama limited
is
now out of control!
King:
oh shut up David
Gregory:
but the spying!
King:
9/11 was plotted in Hamburg Germany!
Gregory:
but Obama bugged
Angela Merkel's phone in 2002!
King:
we're not doing this for the
fun
of it Fluffy – we're trying to save lives
Gregory:
but Snowden!
King:
Obama should defend the NSA
– he's
the commander in chief
Gregory:
isn't it time to reign in the
President's
power now that Obama
has
been reelected?
King:
fuck off Gregrory
Gregory:
Drones!
King:
hey we bombed Dresden before
and
we can do it again
Gregory:
strong words
King:
also Rand Paul needs to shut the fuck up
– no
one wants to kill him in a Starbucks
Gregory:
isn't Obama empowering Iran?
King:
look I hate those evil Saudis but
for
Obama to find a successful
peaceful
resolution in Syria is indefensible
Gregory:
that is so true
King:
Obama went on a apology tour
and
left our best friends Saudi Arabia
and
Israel out to dry
Gregory:
that is so sad
King:
not bombing Syria was a disaster
Gregory:
Obama would say it was
successful
but we're gout of time
[

Gregory:
Todd talk politics to me
Todd:
Democrats are popular but
the
House is gerrymandered
Gregory:
interesting
Todd:
the Dems only need 17 seats
– it's
possible
Gregory:
but Obamacare will change
everything
– Democrats are doomed!
Todd:
exactly!
[

Gregory:
OMG the Obamacare
website
was botched!
Granholm:
Obama is going to
supervise
writing code if he has to
Gregory:
cool
Granholm:
At least Kasich was smart
enough
to take free money
Santorum:
but that would expand
the
role of government
Gregory:
booooring!
Granholm:
but this is important Fluffy
Gregory:
that's dull – let's talk about
how
Obama botched this
Castellanos:
Government cannot
adapt
to modern society
Gregory:
that's a broad statement
Castellanos:
also Social Security is a
Ponzi
scheme which should be canceled
Tanden:
the Medicare expansion was
a
failure and Rick Santorum defended it
Santoum:
that's different – Obama
had
30 years to prepare for this
Tanden:
you're an idiot
Gregory:
clearly this has failed but
does
this prove everything sucks?
Castellanos:
yes it proves all humans
fail
ergo we should dismantle
the
federal government
Granholm:
maybe the Republican states
should
have set up their own exchanges
Gregory:
the Maryland AG didn't shut down
a
party where high school we're drinking beer
– and
I'm not asking as a fake journalist
I'm
asking as a parent
Castellanos:
hey at least he was
the only parent there
Gregory:
but he's also the Attorney General
Castellanos:
but he was there as a parent
Santorum:
my kids never do anything wrong –
and I
would have gone to the parents and
said
“you're undermining the morals of my children”
Tanden:
I would never sanction a beach party
– but
he should not have hosted a party
Gregory:
he didn't host the party he
just
stopped by to drink with the teens
Granholm:
he should never have been
seen
at such a party
Tanden:
he was there to get his kid
Granholm:
even so
Gregory:
but he's the AG – you're either
a
lawbreaker or a bystander!
Santorum:
it takes a nosy busybody
village
to raise a child!
Gregory:
OMG Hillary Clinton is
running
for President!
Tanden:
it's crazy how Meet The Press
is
obsessed with the 2016 race
Gregory:
just talk about Hillary Neera
Tanden:
the Democrats are unified
and
the GOP are cracking up
Gregory:
Rick do you love Ted Cruz?
Santorum:
he's a flash in the pan
Gregory:
do tell Ricky
Santorum:
he's a loser who hurt the party
Castellanos:
he's a train wreck
Gregory:
this is a one-year anniversary of
Hurricane
Sandy which hit Brian Williams
harder
than most people
Williams:
I have a mansion on the
Jersey
Shore and this was our Katrina
Gregory:
wow
Williams:
people fear the water now
Gregory:
this is all about you
Williams:
I rode out Katrina in Superdome
but
this hit my hometown
Gregory:
where's the scandal?
Williams:
some people are coming back
but
I want to know who is not coming
back
and the permanent effects
Gregory:
and that's another
episode of Meet The Press
