Last night, NBC News aired an exclusive interview, which Chuck Todd conducted with President Barack Hussein Obama, in the White House. During the course of the interview, the President “apologized” to the millions of Americans who have lost and will lose their Health Insurance Coverage because of the monster he himself created…Obamacare.
I am sorry that they are finding themselves in this situation based on assurances they got from me.
We’ve got to work hard to make sure that they know we hear them and we are going to do everything we can to deal with folks who find themselves in a tough position as a consequence of this.
Thanks, Scooter. That helps a lot. Not.
Researchers have found that Obama Promised the American people no less than 29 times that,
…if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan.
For example, on Saturday, August 8, 2009, during his Weekly Address, Obama said,
As we draw close to finalizing – and passing – real health insurance reform, the defenders of the status quo and political point-scorers in Washington are growing fiercer in their opposition. In recent days and weeks, some have been using misleading information to defeat what they know is the best chance of reform we have ever had. That is why it is important, especially now, as Senators and Representatives head home and meet with their constituents, for you, the American people, to have all the facts.
So, let me explain what reform will mean for you. And let me start by dispelling the outlandish rumors that reform will promote euthanasia, cut Medicaid, or bring about a government takeover of health care. That’s simply not true. This isn’t about putting government in charge of your health insurance; it’s about putting you in charge of your health insurance. Under the reforms we seek, if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan.
And while reform is obviously essential for the 46 million Americans who don’t have health insurance, it will also provide more stability and security to the hundreds of millions who do. Right now, we have a system that works well for the insurance industry, but that doesn’t always work well for you. What we need, and what we will have when we pass health insurance reform, are consumer protections to make sure that those who have insurance are treated fairly and that insurance companies are held accountable.
On Monday of this week, Obama, speaking at an Organizing for America Campaign Event, said,
Now, if you have or had one of these plans before the Affordable Care Act came into law and you really liked that plan, what we said was you can keep it if it hasn’t changed since the law passed. So we wrote into the Affordable Care Act, you’re grandfathered in on that plan. But if the insurance company changes it, then what we’re saying is they’ve got to change it to a higher standard. They’ve got to make it better, they’ve got to improve the quality of the plan they are selling. That’s part of the promise that we made too. That’s why we went out of our way to make sure that the law allowed for grandfathering.
If we had allowed these old plans to be downgraded, or sold to new enrollees once the law had already passed, then we would have broken an even more important promise — making sure Americans gain access to health care that doesn’t leave them one illness away from financial ruin. The bottom line is that we are making the insurance market better for everybody and that’s the right thing to do.
Obama’s promises all have an expiration date: the moment they are spoken…or written…like the following Policy Statement, posted shortly after Obama was inaugurated in January of 2009, on whitehouse .gov:
“Transparency and Open Government”
Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies
SUBJECT: Transparency and Open Government
My Administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in Government. We will work together to ensure the public trust and establish a system of transparency, public participation, and collaboration. Openness will strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness in Government.
Government should be transparent. Transparency promotes accountability and provides information for citizens about what their Government is doing. Information maintained by the Federal Government is a national asset. My Administration will take appropriate action, consistent with law and policy, to disclose information rapidly in forms that the public can readily find and use. Executive departments and agencies should harness new technologies to put information about their operations and decisions online and readily available to the public. Executive departments and agencies should also solicit public feedback to identify information of greatest use to the public.
The 44th President of the United States is a serial liar. There is no doubt about it. His entire political career has been based on lies, from the days, as a former classmate has now stated, he attempted to pass himself off as a foreign student in a Hawaiian High School and ,quite possibly, while continuing to claim a foreign birth, all the way through college in order to obtain scholarships and privileges.
But, the lies did not end there. They were just getting started. During his days as a Community Organizer, he used his contacts through his “Social Justice Networking”, like Father Pfleger, the activist priest, and a former American Muslim named Jeremiah Wright, to build up his “street cred”, while networking among the Rich Liberal Movers and Shakers of Chicago.
As he entered the political arena, it was obvious to those watching that he was being grooming, from the moment he kicked off his political campaign in the living room of Bomber Bill Ayers, whom he now refers to as “a guy from the neighborhood”.
The lessons in political shenanigans. which he learned in the backrooms of Chicago, have served him well over the years. His ability as a Snake Oil Saleman brought him all the way to the White House.
What he did not count on, is the Americans who elected him, and to whom he promised all the free stuff to, actually expect results, because they actually took him at his word.
And, when he promised the American people 29 times that
…if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan
…a good number of Americans trusted Obama. Because, after all, he is the President of the United States, and, is always supposed to act in our nation’s best interests, and not his own.
With all of the scandals during his time in office, such as the IRS Scandal, Benghazigate, and now, the Obamacare Disaster, Barack Hussein Obama has decisively proven what a lot of Americans said from the get-go: He is in over his head and is not to be trusted.
President Barack Hussein Obama, has most assuredly proven the old axiom that, after all is said and done,
A man is only as good as his word.
Until He Comes,
KJ
