“You may have noticed that all the Nigerian email scammers have become a lot less active lately. They all have been hired to run the Obamacare website.”...Ted Cruz
October 22, 2013
The Associated Press reported on October 22, 2013 that Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas addressed an overflow crowd of about 1,000 people where he suggested that the Nigerian email scammers were running the Obamacaresignup website.
“You may have noticed that all the Nigerian email scammers have become a lot less active lately. They all have been hired to run the Obamacare website.”
It was a great laugh line, though perhaps a little wide of the mark. The Nigerian email scammers, who have actually be in operation before the Internet when they used fax machines for their schemes, are adroit at separating people from their money. As Jon Stewart pointed out in a recent monologue, the Obamacare website does not work in that regard, unlike, say, Amazon.com.
In a larger sense, Cruz is quite right that Obamacare is now to be the whip by which he and others will flog the president and his supporters. Ron Fournier suggested in the National Journal that the Obamacare website disaster is something that should have the president very afraid. The disaster is worse than is being let on, actually encompasses the allegedly easy part of making the Affordable Care Act work, reflects poorly on the president and the government, and will likely hurt many Americans.
In that context, it can be said that at least the Nigerians will only clean out one’s bank account. The Obamacare website is not only a waste of time, but is symptomatic of larger problems concerning the law that promises to destroy the health insurance system in America, with attended suffering and unnecessary death as people cannot access health care.

Nigerians need not reply in anger to the crude remarks of a lying senator who is not fit to represent a ward in a local government in Nigeria...Lets focus more on the fact that he acknowledged that the good people of Nigeria who are 99.999999999999999999999999% majority have checkmated its bad eggs...the vile and hateful words of this nincompoop senator who is obviously desperate to humiliate Obama shows the confusion amongst those who are in charge of his Tea Party...the same Obama who visited Ghana and did not come to Nigeria is now the same one getting smugly with Nigerians!...the daily mediocrity and brainlessness displayed by this suegbe senator and those of his ilk is the exact reason why they lost the last election and might continue to be out of the White House for the next 8yrs....it is the same lack of judgement and disrespect for other human beings that has led to the formation of al queda and ultimately the desperation in part to ram planes into buildings...it is unfortunate that these are the kind of heroes the Republicans have today...uncivilized,mis-educated raggamuffins!...did i reply in anger?...no not yet!...
There is no doubt that Ted Crutz is a desperado seeking to downplay the colossal disgrace he has earned from his execrable misadventure to rubbish the Obama administration. I think it is necessary for Nigerians especially those living in the US to let him know how much a numskull he is because he appears to be basking in the euphoria of a pitiable adulation by a few Americans who are in the same hate game with him.
