Day and night “Night and day”

It is fascinating how media gives hand to Obama in the days of yet another failure.

Two months ago the Obamacare website was partially functioning. Obama administration has promised that by the end of November it will be “FIXED”.

On October 1^st the website was partially functioning. Today, on December 2^nd the website is still partially functioning. Nonetheless, Obama reported that the deadline has been met. “We’re happy to report that 90 percent of users are now able to create accounts.”

I am sorry. The deadline been met? I think that it can be not only described as kept promise but also as over performed the task. Indeed, last week we were told that the success rate is 80% and still it was accompanied by the comments of satisfaction and regarded as met deadline. Now it is 90%. How else can we assess it rather than overachievement?

The verbal formulas used by various commentators are:

-        "night and day" (difference) /Zeitz/

-        “working smoothly” /Sebelius/

-        “improvement is dramatic” /Sebelius/

-         “Pretty good”

-        “Quite a task” (that has been conquered)

-        "series of technical fixes"

-        "capacity upgrades"

-        “extensive work”

-        “a big improvement over October”

-        “up and running” /Brian Lehrer/

-        “work for the vast majority of users”

-        “a vast improvement”

-        “allowing more users to move through that part of the system more quickly than before”

-        “low overall error rates”

-        “working reasonably well”

-        "The site is performing well today with low overall error rates”

The list continues.

We are witnessing an unprecedented period in American media history when it makes all in its power to keep a liar shielded.
