Video at link – White House spokesman melts down over ObamaCare application lies | Human Events.
The ends justify the means must mean it’s OK to lie all the time. Too bad the lapdog press waited to long to stand on their own 4 feet.
It would not have been difficult for Carney and Obama to honestly inform Americans that they cannot actually enroll by calling the phone number or submitting a paper application, instead presenting it as a “pre-qualification” step that could save them some time when the system is finally up and running. (That would be a debatable promise, but it wouldn’t exactly be a “lie.”) What they did say was a lie, just like Obama’s promises of preserving insurance plans were a lie, when he could have honestly delivered the information he had about the impending destruction of millions of policies, but assured his listeners it would all work out for the best in the end. Of course, he never would have gotten elected or re-elected if he had been honest, so here we are.
To reiterate something about the ObamaCrash that’s been bugging me since Blow Up On the Launch Pad Day: it’s amazing how utterly callous Obama and his team are, when it’s time to break some eggs and make their omelette. They sold themselves as hyper-sympathetic populists moved to tears by sad tales of a few uninsured individuals – a sharp contrast to Obama’s heartless opponent, Baron Mitt Vladimir Harkonnen Romney. But now they just wave off millions of people getting screwed out of their insurance policies as acceptable collateral damage, sneering down their noses at anyone who professes to care about families who have decided to pay the individual mandate tax and make do without insurance, rather than buy one of Obama’s unaffordable junk policies. The people getting blown out of the insurance market are dismissed as acceptable losses even when they greatly outnumber the people who are getting insurance for the first time under ObamaCare… which is, come to think of it, eerily reminiscent of the way Team Obama handles the declining American workforce, absurdly trumpeting the rare month that features job growth higher than population growth, while waving off the millions who drop out of the job market completely.
And they do not care at all about the thousands of man-hours of time wasted by Americans who have been fighting with the broken ObamaCare system. They think nothing of wasting even more of your time, just to give you an illusory outlet for venting your frustration before it becomes politically toxic to them. But that’s really nothing new either, is it? Ask a liberal how he feels about the gigantic amount of time and money poured into the black hole of tax compliance every year. There’s a huge dollar value attached to all that labor, but they don’t want to hear about it, because lost productivity and inconvenience for the private sector mean nothing to them. All that matters is dollars spent by the government, dollars collected by the government, and man-hours of labor from government workers.
Is anything that either the President or his administration say the TRUTH? I know I don’t believe a word that comes out of his mouth.
I don’t HAVE to CHANGE PLANS. President Obama, Kathleen Sebelius, I have a message for you:
DO NOT TOUCH MY JUNK.
