Why oh why am I not suprised that he keeps lying about his Mom and health insurance company in his new campaign documentary edited by Tom Hanks.
Repeat after me: Barack Obama’s mother NEVER had an issue with her health insurance paying claims. Barack Obama’s mother NEVER had an issue with her health insurance paying claims. Barack Obama’s mother NEVER had an issue with her health insurance paying her claims.
Point 1:
President Obama’s willingness to falsify the facts about a personal tragedy in order to make a political point speaks volumes about not only his cynicism but also his character. It’s important to remember that this is no misunderstanding but rather a bald-faced lie.
Point 2:
President Obama never apologized for his original lie. He just assumed, rightly it turns out, that even though this whopper was uncovered by the New York Times, neither that paper nor the rest of the liberal mainstream media would pursue the matter further as they almost certainly would (and should have) had his Republican predecessor been found out in a similar matter. Thus encouraged, he has now repeated the falsehood, albeit artfully recast in an attempt to avoid blame.
Jonathin Tobin concludes:
Having won election and then rammed his ObamaCare bill through Congress in part on the strength of this false argument, he has doubled down on it with the lie now coming from the lips of American’s favorite everyman, actor Tom Hanks as well as in edited clips of interviews with the president and his wife. Kessler gives the performance three out of a possible four Pinocchios on his scale of accuracy. This seems a bit generous but the point is that the story proves that Obama is willing to do and/or say anything, even lying about the death of his mother, in order to gain an advantage. That he thinks repeating the lie will help him get re-elected says a lot about what he thinks of the intelligence of the American people and the integrity of the press that failed to vet him the first time around.
No doubt the local paper will continue to carry Obama’s water for him. Ahh, the integrity of the press (and the arrogance that comes with it).
Oh and let’s put a plug in for insurance companies while were at it. The individual policy that I personally own has paid for 3 surgeries and 8 hospital stays for my daughter. Well I guess I can’t say they have paid for the last surgery as she just got home on Saturday (she’s doing fine). Only TWO issues the whole time. One was taken care of before I was aware of a problem, the other did take up some time, but basically came down to an ambulance company and the insurance company not being able to communicate. One PITA cliam and I’m sure well over $300,000 paid out.
