Liar, Liar--Pants on Fire!!


This is my last postin on Blogger.com. Blogger.com has been great and so easy to use, but I've MOVED on to Wordpress.com and taken on a new blog title:

--------------------
This just in: 
President Barack Obama has been awarded the dubious honor of "LIE of the YEAR" with a rating of "Pants on Fire" by the Politifact-fact-checking website.
Just to refresh your memory--Our president looked straight into the camera and on numerous occasions and said:
  • Obamacare would bring down premiums by $2500 for the typical family (find me an example of where that is currently taking place. In most instances, it is doubling and tripling premiums of most families).
  • President’s weekly address, June 6, 2009: "If you like the plan you have, you can keep it.  If you like the doctor you have, you can keep your doctor, too.  The only change you’ll see are falling costs as our reforms take hold." Tell that to the millions who are receiving cancellation notices from their health insurers because Obamacare has forced the health insurance company to dump them. These millions of insured were happy with their coverage, but are NOW being told by Obama that their coverage is sub-standard, sub-par. According to the new federal guidelines for coverage, most insurance plans don't meet the government definition which includes forcing 50-yr old men to have coverage for mammogram screening and birth control.
  • Town hall in Green Bay, Wis., June 11, 2009: "No matter how we reform health care, I intend to keep this promise:  If you like your doctor, you'll be able to keep your doctor; if you like your health care plan, you'll be able to keep your health care plan." (How can you keep your doctor when he's not in your exchange and he's not on the short list of accepted doctors? How can you keep your doctor when he's losing his medical practice due to Obamacare?)
  • Presidential press conference, June 23, 2009. "If you like your plan and you like your doctor, you won't have to do a thing. You keep your plan. You keep your doctor."
  • Town hall in Grand Junction, Colo., Aug. 15, 2009: "I just want to be completely clear about this. I keep on saying this but somehow folks aren't listening — if you like your health care plan, you keep your health care plan.  Nobody is going to force you to leave your health care plan.  If you like your doctor, you keep seeing your doctor." (Notice how Obama typically attacks his critics by saying "but somehow folks aren't listening." It's now obvious that his critics were RIGHT.
  • First presidential debate in Denver, Oct. 3, 2012: "If you've got health insurance, it doesn't mean a government takeover. You keep your own insurance. You keep your own doctor. But it does say insurance companies can't jerk you around." (It's not the health insurance companies "jerking us around" that we're worried about. It's Obama who's jerking us around!!)

In one of the opening chapters of Dostoevsky's "The Brothers Karamazov", a revered monk tells Karamazov, "A man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point where he does not discern any truth either in himself or anywhere around him, and thus falls into disrespect towards himself and others."

This certainly describes our president and his administration. Since they hold their intellect in high esteem, they cannot blame their willful denial of reality on ignorance. Therefore they must be lying to themselves

The Biggest Lie ever uttered by a U.S. President

The Big Lie. Perhaps the biggest lie ever uttered by a U.S. President:
 "If you like your present healthcare policy, you can keep it, period. No one will take it away from you. No matter what. You will be able to keep your doctor, period." 
That was a LIE and we heard it so many times from the Obama's lips. Why did he lie? Because if he had told the truth, he and the Democrats wouldn't have been able to sell Obamacare. But then that's the standard M.O. for liberals and progressives. They can ONLY get elected by lying. They never tell the truth. 

If they ever told the truth about their true intentions, very few Americans would ever vote for them. If Obama had actually told voters that he wanted to see an increasing number of Americans out of work and on food stamps, who would've voted for him? If he had told voters that he wanted to "cut America down to size" and reduce our standing in the eyes of the world, who would've voted for him? If he had told Americans that he wanted to redistribute the wealth of the producers and give it to the "takers"--who would've voted for him. He had to LIE to get elected.

Now at least 15 million Americans have had their healthcare coverage cancelled and there will be millions more to follow. Another BIG LIE, because these policies were regulated and most of the policy holders were HAPPY with their coverage. (Read the story of a woman with stage 4 cancer who has had her coverage cancelled and will probably die because of Obamacare. "You Can't Keep Your Doctor." )



 But the President and his Democrat allies are rationalizing that these policies were "sub-standard", "lousy" or "skeletal plans." And the President's spokesman, Jay Carney, is likening the Health Insurers to the Wild West where anything goes and unregulated crummy policies were sold to unsuspecting consumers. All of  which is another big LIE and attempt to justify the reason why millions are being kicked off their present healthcare coverage.

Another BIG LIE: The President said that the average family would save around $2400 a month in premiums. WRONG. Most families and individuals are seeing their healthcare premiums skyrocket by hundreds of dollars and their deductible amount is now double, triple or quadruple in cost!

What we have is a President who is a Dictator. He dictates to you and me what kind of coverage we can have and how much we have to pay for it. He determines what is "good" coverage. He determines what is "adequate coverage." He is the Dictator who knows what is good for you because you are too stupid to buy the right coverage for yourself. You're too dumb to know what's best for your family. That's why you have the President and his Democrat allies--they're the smartest and brightest. They will lead you and me out out of the darkness. They will light the way to affordable health care. They care about you--way more than those evil Republicans who want to starve the elderly and babies, and wanted to leave you to rot with your lousy sub-standard, skeletal, crummy health plan as well as your choice of your own stupid doctor, and your affordable monthly premium. How awful is that?!!
