On Obamacare (and states' website successes):
kpo - "Still,to know it CAN work, when the governors implement it well... This could backfire on Republican governors who have sought to stop the law working, and whose constituents will suffer as a result."

Frem - "Hilary has *ALREADY* bagged up 2016, bought and paid for, so you better just start learning to deal with it"
I want a piece of that action.
He's probably right, if there's a lot of hype around a candidate even if they haven't declared (and it's likely they're going to declare) they tend to have enough momentum and energy to steamroller other candidates as they rise and fall. Hillary will probably be the democratic candidate, because her democratic opponents and the Republican alternatives right now are crickets.
This is why Mitt Romney was the obvious Republican candidate, but also why it was obvious Obama was going to win again. Comparatively Mitt Romney was an unknown (and mormon) - he had the early momentum to surmount the other republican candidates, but not enough to surmount Obama.

Geezer (on Obamacare): "Looks like the Administration may have made overly optimistic estimates of enrollment by the young and fit."

Geezer thinks the growth of China's CO2 emissions, which slowed last year, will go 'right back up' - citing past trends, and dismissing the analysis in articles such as this one: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-24742770

Signy predicts deepening violence in Ukraine following the vote of the Ukrainian parliament to remove President Yanukovych from power:
http://fireflyfans.net/mthread.aspx?tid=57554
"As I've been saying for many posts now, Yanukovych has support. He is in the Russian-speaking southeast of the Ukraine, rounding up support. Civil war may be the next step. The Ukraine may be split in two. I think this was the goal of the west all along."

Auraptor on Obamacare hitting its 7 million sign up target:
"Funny how the administration is touting 7.1 MILLION!! on April's Fools Day.
Seriously, you'd have to be a gorram fool to believe this President."
JSF agrees with him:
"How asleep at the wheel must one be to belive this?
How brain dead must one be to belive this as truth?"

Signy on Fukushima:
"...Northeastern Japan is hopelessly contaminated for the next century..."
"...We've contaminated the West Coast of North America with iodine and cesium, and have graduated to hemorrhaging cesium, strontium, and tritium-contaminated water into the Pacific. And we know that we will cause millions in excess cancers and unpredictable ecological damage to the Pacific..."
Edited to underline the bit that's actually a prediction.
