\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s pathological. With Clinton it was (Clinton impression), “I never had sex with that woman, not a single time, never, and I never asked anybody to lie.” And that then became a controversy over the definition of “is.” Remember that? Depends on what “is” is. This is pathological. Obama is now saying he didn\u2019t say what he said. Obama is now trying, by the way, if I can do this, he\u2019s trying to implement the Limbaugh Theorem.<\/p>\n

This is the latest example of the very thing the Limbaugh Theorem described<\/a>: The president pretending to fight against the snake oil that he created. The president pretending to be opposed to the very thing he created, meaning, “Oh, my God, I just now figured that people are losing their insurance and their doctors, and that was never the intention. We said that you wouldn\u2019t lose it if your plan didn\u2019t change.”<\/p>\n

Folks, it\u2019s really bad. I mean, the media is saying, “I\u2019ve been covering the guy five years, he never said that.” We got Ron Fournier of the National Journal: “Lying About Lies: Why Credibility Matters to Obama.” This story is devastating, even though he tries to help Obama in this thing, he\u2019s trying to help him recover. People are flabbergasted out there over this. “The president is trying to reinvent the history of his you-can-keep-it promise on health care.” This is just incredible.<\/p>\n

So let\u2019s get started. By the way, telephone number, if you want to be on the program\u2019s 800-282-2882; the e-mail address, ElRushbo@eibnet.com.<\/p>\n

Here is Obama yesterday at an Organizing for America event.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: Now, if you have or had one of these plans before the Affordable Care Act came into law, and you really like that plan, what we said was, “You could keep it if it hasn\u2019t changed since the law\u2019s passed.” So we wrote into the Affordable Care Act, you\u2019re grandfathered in on that plan. But if the insurance company changes it, then what we\u2019re saying is they\u2019ve gotta change it to a higher standard.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s just not true, folks. He never, ever said it. Now, this tells me something, by the way. He knows what the law says on this now. The law does say that your plan is grandfathered, but if it changes an iota, if it changes by a nickel, if it changes in the slightest way, it\u2019s gone, and you lose your grandfathered status. What he\u2019s not telling anybody here is that Obamacare mandates the insurance companies to change these policies by mandating that they cover more, that they charge more. It was never going to be possible for you to keep your plan, is the bottom line, and that\u2019s what he doesn\u2019t know that he\u2019s admitting here.<\/line><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget the news of last week and two weeks ago. The White House knew, remember, Lisa Myers, NBC News, uncovered this. They knew that Obama was gonna go out to lie. They put it on the teleprompter, they knew, and they made a calculated decision that it was better to lie about it to get the thing passed and then deal with the aftermath, which is what they\u2019re doing now. They also knew, and it was in the Federal Register, 93 million Americans were gonna lose their policies. Ninety-three million Americans could not keep their insurance.<\/p>\n

Ninety-three million Americans could not keep their doctor. They knew this. This was in the media last week and the week before. It was known that Obama was telling a falsehood, and it was a calculated plan to do just that. They thought that his goodwill that he had built up with his fans would sustain him through this and that he\u2019d be able to handle the aftermath in typical Obama fashion: deny it, and then claim he didn\u2019t know it, and that he\u2019s looking out for you — i.e, the Limbaugh Theorem. But the media is having a tough time. I guess there\u2019s even a limit for them.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the problem with this. These are lies. They are calculated purposeful lies. And this is really, really bad. This may be — and I\u2019m not exaggerating and I\u2019m not trying to do anything for effect here. This may be the biggest presidential lie in our lifetimes. I don\u2019t know about things that happened when I wasn\u2019t alive, previous presidents, so I\u2019m not gonna say that it\u2019s the biggest lie ever, but it certainly probably is the biggest presidential lie in my lifetime, and he knows it.<\/line><\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t, as I say, “I did not have sex with that woman, not a single time, never, and I never asked anybody to lie.” This is not “I didn\u2019t bug those offices.” This is not, “I don\u2019t know where those Rose Law Firm billing records came from. The Map Room, you\u2019re saying?” Clinton lying under oath, the grand jury, that\u2019s a bad presidential thing to do, but this is lying to the American people. This is lying about your relationship with your doctor about your health.<\/line><\/p>\n

Now, the Democrat Party, I\u2019d peg this back to the eighties. Remember, there was a Pennsylvania Senator by the name of Harris Wofford, and Harris Wofford got this whole health care thing going. He ratcheted it up by saying (paraphrasing), “Look, if the Constitution is gonna guarantee you a lawyer, then why doesn\u2019t it guarantee you a doctor? If you get in trouble and you can\u2019t afford a lawyer, one\u2019s provided for you. Why doesn\u2019t that happen in your health care?” And that got the ball rolling. Now, national health care\u2019s always been a dream of the Democrat Party, and it\u2019s always been a relevant thing. But it\u2019s relatively new that people consider their health insurance the number one most important possession that they have.<\/p>\n

For many people, psychologically, I mean, it has become more important than their house or their car or their flat screen, and it\u2019s all because the Democrat Party has spent all of these years ratcheting this up and telling people and warning people they could go bankrupt, they\u2019re one paycheck away from bankruptcy if they get sick. They\u2019ve done such a great job of scaring people and creating a crisis out of poor health. I mean, getting sick now is a major crisis in people\u2019s lives. It doesn\u2019t require a catastrophe to make people paranoid.<\/p>\n

The Democrat Party has made everyday health care a crisis by focusing on it as a political issue, by claiming that the Republicans and others don\u2019t care about your health by making it the number one employee benefit and all of that. In people\u2019s minds, they have made their health care the most important thing to them.<\/p>\n

And now, having done that, they have changed the relationship between citizen and state regarding health care — and they have let everybody known that they, too, the Democrats, think that your health is the most important thing in the world. “We know it\u2019s the most important thing to you and it\u2019s the most important thing to us,” and now here comes Obama after ginning up all of this crisis and panic about everyday health care…<\/p>\n

Snerdley, have I made my point here? I mean, health used to be important. Everybody wanted to be healthy and all. But in my lifetime, it has changed dramatically. Getting sick was never a crisis. It was not, “”Oh, my God, the end of the world!” People\u2019s health insurance, it was not the most important thing to \u2019em. It\u2019s not why they wanted to get a job. It wasn\u2019t the most important thing. I\u2019m telling you, the Democrats have politicized this to the point that I think people have an irrational attachment to it.<\/p>\n

However, it\u2019s real, whether it\u2019s irrational or not, and because it\u2019s gotten so expensive (again, that\u2019s because of the Democrats and government being involved) people can\u2019t take care of it on their own now. So it is a crisis that they have created, ostensibly for their political benefit, and therefore it is the most personal thing to millions of Americans. Their health, getting sick and being able get treated, is the most important thing to just gobs of people.<\/p>\n

So given the highly personal aspect of this issue to people, the president of the United States lied — purposefully, knowingly, willfully — about the most important thing in most people\u2019s lives. “Mr. Limbaugh, are you saying that your health care is not the most…?” No, it\u2019s not, frankly. That\u2019s my point. It\u2019s not. I get sick; I go to the doctor. I don\u2019t live in of fear getting sick. I don\u2019t. My health care is not the primary concern I have about where I work.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not.<\/p>\n

But for most people it is.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t even have health insurance. But I\u2019m weird, I\u2019m unique, I\u2019m odd. I\u2019m in a minority. I understand that. But I\u2019m just telling you, I know how important it is to people, and I\u2019m not criticizing it. I\u2019m simply saying that is the reality now. The president, he coulda lied about other things. He can lie about Syria, he coulda lied about global warming, but this, he promised people that the most important thing in their life would not change, with his “reform.”<\/p>\n

Not only that, he told them the most important thing in their life would get cheaper. And he told them the most important thing in their life would become more accessible. And he told them the most important relationship in their life, their doctor, would be unchanged. He lied purposefully, willfully, and in a way that cannot be covered up. It cannot be said that it was a gaffe. It cannot be said that it was a screw up.<\/p>\n

It was willful, it was political, it was for his and his party\u2019s advantage, and it was without compassion. He did this with no concern on the end result for people who believed hi — and in that sense, it might have revealed who he really is. A lot of people who voted for him, and a lot of people on the Democrat side, a lot of people on the media side, that\u2019s what they\u2019re having to come to grips with today, and that\u2019s what many of them still remain in denial about.<\/p>\n

This is lying about the most personal thing in many people\u2019s minds: Their relationship with their doctor and their health. Not only that, the health of their entire family. This is as personal a lie as this president or any president could have told people. That\u2019s why I say that this is the worst lie of any presidential lie I\u2019m aware of. I don\u2019t think, because of the personal nature of this, that there could be a worse lie — and they know it, and that\u2019s why they\u2019re trying to slither out of this.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re trying to slither out of it by telling another lie, because it can never be that they lied. You just didn\u2019t hear right! You were lied to by others in the media that you listen to or watch. But the president didn\u2019t lie. The fact is he\u2019s lying again now. The media… Well, this Ron Fournier piece. Poor Ron, he\u2019s devastated by it. He does his best to save Obama in this. He does his best, but it\u2019s not possible.<\/p>\n

He said, “Stop lying,” and the media said, “Stop lying,” and Obama told another lie! But I can\u2019t… I\u2019m sorry to bludgeon this, but I can\u2019t emphasize it enough, and I think people inside the Beltway gonna miss this. This is reason I\u2019m emphasizing it, the personal nature of this. To them, it\u2019s a bad lie. It\u2019s a bad lie because it\u2019s an obvious lie. It\u2019s a bad lie \u2019cause they can\u2019t get him out of it. That\u2019s not why it\u2019s a bad lie.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a bad lie because it\u2019s like Kyle Smith in New York Post said on Sunday. Obama\u2019s a BSer, but this is not BS. This is a flat-out deceitful, an intentionally deceitful lie that was only made to benefit Obama and the Democrat Party. When he lies and gets away with it, everybody else gets harmed. You don\u2019t keep your doctor. You don\u2019t keep your policy. You\u2019re faced with cancellation and renewed and increased prices, if you want to stay insured.<\/p>\n

Remember, the Democrat Party has made this the most important thing in many people\u2019s lives. There are people who literally go through near panic each and every day over the fact they might get sick or their kids might get in a car wreck or something\u2019s gonna happen to bankrupt them, because the Democrats have told \u2019em that\u2019s what\u2019s gonna happen. The Democrats have told people, “You\u2019re one accident, you\u2019re one illness away from being bankrupt, and that\u2019s why we gotta do the reform! That\u2019s why we gotta do Obamacare.”<\/p>\n

Now it\u2019s Obamacare that\u2019s going to bankrupt people.<\/p>\n

Now it\u2019s Obamacare that is one step away from bankruptcy, one paycheck away from it.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s Obamacare that is causing all of this.<\/p>\n

I think the Drive-Bys have to be aware of how bad this looks. Look at how many articles we\u2019ve seen about Obama. “He had to lie \u2019cause the public\u2019s too stupid to realize how good Obamacare is for us!” That\u2019s one theme out there. “He had to lie! He had to lie \u2019cause the public, low-information crowd, they\u2019re too stupid to see how good this is for everybody. He had to lie about it, in order to get it passed. He had to lie because if he told the truth the Republicans would have used the truth against him. We can\u2019t have that!”<\/p>\n

It\u2019s another theme that\u2019s out there.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Man, I remember listening to this tune at 4:30 in the morning driving in to work when I was a deejay back in the old days. It\u2019s a perfect 4:30 in the morning song or late at night going to bed or waking up. Boz Skaggs and Lowdown.<\/p>\n

“Obama lied, and your health plan died.” It\u2019s exactly what\u2019s happened. You know, something else. I want you to listen to this again. I want to see if you notice a difference here. Ron Fournier did, in writing about this in the National Journal. Listen to the pronouns in this bite.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: Now, if you have or had one of these plans before the Affordable Care Act came into law, and you really like that plan, what we said was, “You could keep it if it hasn\u2019t changed since the law\u2019s passed.” So we wrote into the Affordable Care Act, you\u2019re grandfathered in on that plan. But if the insurance company changes it, then what we\u2019re saying is they\u2019ve gotta change it to a higher standard.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So the “I,” “me,” “my” president, all of a sudden now this becomes, “What ‘we\u2019 said, what ‘we\u2019 are saying.” There is none of this, “What I said was, and what I told you, and what I did, and when I did it, and when I said.” No, there\u2019s none of that. Now it\u2019s “we.” Now it\u2019s some boobs that are gonna get canned for doing this. Now it\u2019s a mysterious “we.”<\/p>\n

Ron Fournier was just devastated by this. He writes in his piece today, ” Watch the video of Obama reinventing history with the “what-we-said-was” construction. Notice how he is looking at notes. Remarkably, this was not an off-the-cuff remark; it was written, reviewed and approved by senior White House officials, then recited by the president.” It was, he writes, “An orchestrated deceit.”<\/p>\n

So was the first lie that he told how many different times, 35 or 40 different times over three years. “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. If you like your plan, you can keep your plan. Premiums will see an average price reduction of $2,500.” All of those were written. All of those were on the prompter. None of those statements were off the cuff. They were all written. It has all been an orchestrated deceit — and that, friends, is the entire Democrat Party.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Remember, now, folks, this lie is about one of the most personal things to people. It was a lie that benefited Barack Obama only. It was a lie for the express purpose of getting Barack Obama elected. It was a lie intended to deceive people into supporting this disaster of a health care reform plan — and it is a disaster. It\u2019s an absolute nightmare. People are learning this. It is near criminal.<\/p>\n

All of this was known and could have been widely publicized prior to the vote on this. All of this was known. It was known that Obama was lying when he said you could keep your plan, because the law itself contradicted that — and there were many of us that were shouting as loud as we could about it. The people just couldn\u2019t get their arms around the fact that good old Obama would lie to \u2019em.<\/p>\n

But he did.<\/p>\n

He lied for his own gain.<\/p>\n

He lied about the most personal aspect of people\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n

He deceived them all for his gain, all for his party\u2019s gain.<\/p>\n

He goes into Virginia and he\u2019s campaigning. The fact that Terry McAuliffe… I\u2019m thinking all day trying to figure a good way to analogize a guy like McAuliffe being a governor. I mean, it\u2019s just unseemly. It\u2019s just unseemly. And here\u2019s Obama — who\u2019s now demonstrated himself to be a deceitful, purposeful, wanton liar — going in, telling the people of Virginia how Terry McAuliffe is the best thing could ever happen to \u2019em, and it\u2019s the absolute opposite of that.<\/p>\n

All he is, is a placeholder for Democrat moneyed interests to have their way in that state, and pave the way for Hillary Clinton\u2019s 2016 run. The guy doesn\u2019t know about being governor. It\u2019s just gonna turn the thing into a money-laundering clearinghouse for the Democrat and all that. That\u2019s what the state of Virginia is gonna become. It\u2019s just shocking to me — literally, literally shocking. Terry McAuliffe? A bundler? It is what it is? By the way, there\u2019s a third-party candidate in that state today, a Libertarian.<\/p>\n

Even Ron Paul has come out against that Libertarian candidate and an Obama bundler. Some rich liberal from Texas is bankrolling the campaign of that Libertarian candidate in Virginia to split the vote between the Libertarian candidate and Ken Cuccinelli. So Barack Obama is now seeking to undermine the state of Virginia with a placeholder named Terry McAuliffe, and this comes on the heels of this…<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know how to characterize this any more than I have. It\u2019s just an amazing insult to everybody, their intelligence. These are people that voted for Barack Obama. These are people that basically placed their lives in his hands. Many of these people turned over their very existence to Barack Obama because they trusted him. He engendered that trust, and he told them that he\u2019s the one that would look out for \u2019em.<\/p>\n

He was the one that was gonna protect them. He was the one that was gonna guard them from these ravaging Republicans who didn\u2019t care about women, didn\u2019t care about blacks, don\u2019t care about anybody else. It\u2019s Barack Obama that purposely deceived these people for his own gain, for his own power and that of his party — and he\u2019s now denying that he lied! He\u2019s compounding it. He\u2019s now denying that he ever said you could keep your insurance if you liked it.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s denying that he said it. He now claims he said you could keep it if it didn\u2019t change. But the Obamacare law is written so as to make sure that plans change, so that they don\u2019t remain grandfathered. Folks, here\u2019s the dirty little secret. Obamacare can\u2019t survive if everybody\u2019s plan stayed the same. Can I ask you a question that I think is rooted in logic? If the president\u2019s number one selling point…?<\/p>\n

Please focus on this question. It\u2019s really important.<\/p>\n

If the number one selling point of Obamacare — if the most important thing about it, if the thing that he\u2019s willing to lie about 29 times — is that if you like your plan, you can keep it, would somebody tell me what was wrong with health care? If you like your plan, you can keep it, then why are we changing anything? Why are we doing this? What it tells me is that most people were satisfied with what they had, and they were not gonna get to keep it.<\/p>\n

The president knew that, so he had to lie to them about it in order to implement this “reform,” which is gonna end up being much worse for almost everybody. Not quite everybody, because some are gonna get subsidies like people that work for the government and members of the House and Senate and their staff. They\u2019re gonna have 75% of their costs taken care of by you and me and other taxpayers. But most everybody is going to be really financially impacted, damaged by this.<\/p>\n

The president\u2019s out there telling people, “No, no! If you like your plan, if you like your doctor, you can keep it.” Well, if you asked me, what was wrong with it, then? Why does it need to be changed? And if you gonna make a big deal out of lying to people about it, you must be of the impression that most people like their plans — and in that case, why change it?<\/p>\n

So, what did that become? “Well, we had to do it for the uninsured because we\u2019re big-hearted, compassionate liberals, and we have to take care of those who don\u2019t have any health insurance. It\u2019s just not right. The biggest superpower in the world has got 30 million people uninsured! What kind of rotgut people does that make us? Okay, so we\u2019re gonna do this to insure 30 million people.”<\/p>\n

Well, it turns out that the uninsured remain uninsured under Obamacare.<\/p>\n

The only people that benefit from this are the Democrat Party. They\u2019re the only people that benefit, and how do they benefit? They now control one-sixth of the US economy that they didn\u2019t have under their control, and they now control the way people live, because every aspect of living has a health care cost component to it that they can deny treatment for unless you snap to and live the way they want you to live.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re not content to let you live the way you want to live. You\u2019ve gotta live the way they demand you live. This is so repugnant. So now Obama\u2019s denying that he ever said what he said, except he said, “Well, we now…” So I\u2019m just gonna do this little sound bite roll here. We\u2019re gonna repeat number one. This is Obama saying, “No, no! We never said that you could keep your plan if it changed.” Listen to this again.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: Now, if you have or had one of these plans before the Affordable Care Act came into law, and you really like that plan, what we said was, “You could keep it if it hasn\u2019t changed since the law\u2019s passed.” So we wrote into the Affordable Care Act, you\u2019re grandfathered in on that plan. But if the insurance company changes it, then what we\u2019re saying is they\u2019ve gotta change it to a higher standard.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that\u2019s the mandate. They have to change it.<\/p>\n

There was no way you were gonna keep your plan from the beginning, and they knew it. They knew that 93 million Americans were gonna lose their plans and the relationship with their doctor. They lied about it. They knew they were lying about it. They made a calculated decision to lie and deal with the aftermath. Now, try to follow this. It\u2019s the same press conference, a DC Organizing for America event. He says that if he had kept his first promise, he would have broken an even bigger one.<\/p>\n

Now, this is where he attempts to implement the Limbaugh Theorem…<\/p>\n

OBAMA: 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 that Americans gain access to health care that doesn\u2019t leave them one illness away from financial ruin.<\/p>\n

RUSH: There you go!<\/p>\n

OBAMA: The bottom line is — is that —<\/p>\n

RUSH: There you go!<\/p>\n

OBAMA: — we are making the insurance market better for everybody.<\/p>\n

RUSH: There you go.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: And that\u2019s the right thing to do.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s what they\u2019ve done for 30 years. One illness away from financial ruin. They\u2019ve been talking like that for 30 years, and they\u2019ve made people think that they\u2019re one common cold away from financial ruin. So here now the president says if he had kept his first promise, i.e., you get to keep your plan, he would have broken an even bigger promise. And if we had allowed these old plans to be downgraded or sold to new enrollees then we would have broken an even more important promise, making sure that Americans gain access. He says if we had let you keep your plan, we would not have been able to have other people who are uninsured get insurance.<\/p>\n

Well, they don\u2019t get insured under Obamacare. The dirty little secret is that something like 20 million Americans, maybe it\u2019s 30, remain uninsured after full implementation. So this is pathological. This is purposefully pathological. How come we haven\u2019t seen any examples of people with lousy plans? Name one of them. The only thing we\u2019ve seen is people who like their plans are upset they don\u2019t get to keep \u2019em, right? All we\u2019ve seen are people who\u2019ve been canceled, and they\u2019re upset about it, and they\u2019ve been told that their replacement plan is gonna raise their deductible by three times, their premium by 150%, their out-of-pocket goes way up.<\/p>\n

We haven\u2019t seen any examples of people happy that Obamacare has gotten rid of a lousy plan, have we? All we\u2019ve seen are people ticked off that they lost the plan they had and liked. Which then again argues for the premise, why change it? And when you start answering that question then you find out what this is all about. And it isn\u2019t health care. Why change something that 95% of Americans liked? Most people like their plans, it turns out. Isn\u2019t that amazing? That\u2019s another thing people have been lied to about. You\u2019ve probably gone through this whole debate thinking most Americans hate their doctor, hate their insurance company, hate their plan, and it turns out they all like their plan, and they\u2019re really ticked off they don\u2019t get to keep it.<\/p>\n

Have you seen anybody come forward that had a lousy plan, happy it\u2019s gone? Snerdley, have you seen any example of that? I haven\u2019t. If there\u2019s any they\u2019re few and far between. Most of the people trotting out here, most of the people making news are people that have been canceled who like their plans. I haven\u2019t seen anybody come up say, “You know what, I\u2019m so happy. I had a rotten plan, Obamacare got rid of it, and my new plan I really love.” I haven\u2019t seen that person. Have you? They don\u2019t exist.<\/p>\n

Folks, I can\u2019t categorize the scope of this scam that has been run on everybody. It\u2019s gotten away with because it takes place in the political arena, “Well, that\u2019s just politics.” You take what happened here outside of the political arena, you put it anywhere, and you\u2019ve got the Justice Department and lawyers out the wazoo trying to put people in jail. And I\u2019m not exaggerating. You let a CEO lie to people about a product. (interruption) Sarbanes-Oxley, nobody knows what it is. Look at the Tylenol case. Somebody went in, poisoned a bunch of Tylenol, people got sick, they had to pull it off the market.<\/line><\/p>\n

Imagine if Tylenol said, “No, there\u2019s nothing wrong with it. We\u2019re keeping it on the shelf. There\u2019s nothing wrong with it. You\u2019ll have no problem taking Tylenol.” Or, “This new phone\u2019s gonna have a six-inch screen, full HD, it\u2019s gonna have a battery that lasts you a full week on a single charge.” You go buy the phone, it\u2019s got a four-inch screen, the battery lasts eight hours, and it\u2019s not HD, what happens to that company? “Well, we had to lie to you to make sure you\u2019d buy it.” Well, yeah, we had to lie to you so you\u2019d support Obamacare, so we Democrats can stay in power. That\u2019s all that\u2019s happened here. But this was personal, folks. There are gonna be ramifications to this.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Folks, this is much worse than just lying, and I\u2019m not trying to say that the personal nature of this lie is not all that bad. I\u2019m not changing my premise here. I\u2019m just saying that it\u2019s even worse than this. What President Obama has done here is just full out destroy the public trust. What he has done here is among the most outrageous acts a president can commit against his own nation. And that\u2019s why I say this is unparalleled. In my lifetime I can\u2019t think of a presidential lie that even approaches this, that even gets anywhere near it. This totally blows up the public trust.<\/p>\n

He not only lied, folks, but he accused those of you telling the truth of fearmongering. Remember what he said about all those evil mortgage bankers? Oh, yeah, those evil mortgage bankers hoodwinking people that they could afford a mortgage when they couldn\u2019t. Yeah, hoodwinking people into bad mortgages. All those mortgage lenders shaking down people time and time again, when in fact it was Obama and Clinton\u2019s DOJ shaking down the mortgage bankers. But this has just blown up the public trust. And then he accuses those of telling the truth of being fearmongers and terrorists and of seeking to hold people hostage.<\/p>\n

Up to October of this year, he forced a government shutdown to prevent a full debate before implementation, when he knew how flawed it was, and that it would not do what he promised. This is the thing, folks, Barack Obama and his administration and the Democrat Party have known from the get-go that this health care reform would not do what it was being promised to do. They have known that your premiums were not gonna get cheaper. They have known you weren\u2019t gonna keep your doctor. They have known you weren\u2019t gonna keep your plan, and they lied about it anyway. And then they accused the people of telling you the truth of being fearmongers.<\/p>\n

They made a calculated decision to deceive everybody on this and deal with this aftermath that\u2019s happening now. Meanwhile, he won\u2019t even release the successful application numbers until mid-November, so as to not influence the outcome of the election in Virginia. They won\u2019t tell you that only six people have been able to sign up. That has to be unearthed. They can\u2019t even tell you the truth about who has and has not signed up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
