President Pivot strikes again!
In the face of continued and worsening Obamacare suckage, the White House has decided that the most pressing issue facing Americans is … anything but Obamacare.
Gay rights are a choice distraction:

Carney mentioned it at today’s press briefing:

And the White House Twitter feed is getting in on it, too, complete with an Obama-as-preacher photo:

But if you believe that the Obama administration has its priorities wrong, well, sucks to be you.

From Hot Air’s Allahpundit:
So, for the thousandth time in his presidency, he’s pivoting to jobs — and to amnesty and to the minimum wage, with a sprinkling of blather about the glories of health-care technocracy mixed in.
Indeed. More from The Wall Street Journal:
“We are very aware of the fact that health care is going to overshadow November, and it’s probably going to overshadow December, but we want to push on immigration and we want to be pushing on the economy,” the official said.
The president’s senior aides had at one time planned for him to be holding events aimed at encouraging Americans to shop for insurance on the new federal health-care website, with stops in places with high numbers of uninsured people. But the problems plaguing the site have forced them to shift strategies.
“Shift strategies.” In other words, dangle shiny objects like the minimum wage in front of us in the hopes that we forget we’re getting screwed by Obamacare.
Incompetent and serial liar plans new pivot to anything except his signature legislative catastrophe http://t.co/J5QRToZHfU

Given that Obamacare and http://t.co/tQXa7prMrW are disasters, is it acceptable that the president plans to "pivot" to ANYTHING but these?
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) November 4, 2013
Of course it’s not acceptable. Unfortunately, Obama just doesn’t care.

He's a multi-tasker.
He can fail at many things at the same time.— Arthur Kimes (@ComradeArthur) November 4, 2013
Accountability, anyone?
Is the media really going to give obama a pass on this? Shouldn't he be on these things 24/7?
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) November 4, 2013
Bueller? Bueller?
can this meathead really afford to pile new likely disasters on to his already full plate?
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) November 4, 2013
Sigh. Of course not. But since when has that ever stopped him? Look at the national debt — Obama can’t technically afford to do any of the things he does.
And we can’t afford to let him get away with this.
NO @whitehouse @barackobama , you don't get to change subject. Millions hit by #myhealthplandied cancellation notices. Won't be silenced.
