Actually, if you go read Roots of Obama’s Rage, this story is 1000% plausible that he did it for the mother as sort of a revenge attack on the “Evil” insurance carriers.

"So, his mother passed away because of cancer. Her experience in her final days and months was about struggling with insurance companies over ... the question of pre-existing conditions. And if you listen to the president, what does he talk about most?" Wolffe says. "It's about insurance companies quibbling with patients about pre-existing conditions.

Oh give me a friggin' break already! His communist mamma was well connected and couldn't have wanted for anything. His maternal grandparents who raised him were well off and hugely connected in the financial circles in Hawaii.

Don't give me this hearts and roses krap(TM) about her having to fight insurance companies to get treatment. It's not like she was on welfare-medicare and some death panel denied her the needed treatments.

Oh, wait...

Definitely sounds like cr*p ground out of the NPR propaganda program. Got all the tics ~ but this one is so bad the only “truth” concerns the names these people go by.

Great! We had 1/6 of the economy annexed to the US government, because this goof ball’s mom was fighting with an insurance company who probably capitulated and paid the medical bills anyway. (We don’t know otherwise).

We need a Keeper of the Plot to document all the nonsense they’ve used against our Country. For instance, paraphrased: you must pass the bill to see what’s in it. And establishing czars right out of his arse without any approval and vetting. And fire the CEO of a major corporation.....my God the list is endless and I would love to see it regurgitated back in their faces.

I do not believe he cared as much for his mother as this article implies. If he did, why didn’t he help her? He has talked about how SHE had to be on the phone arguing with insurance companies. I don’t believe this fraud of a “man” Obama. I do not believe any of his stories. The author is trying to sell a story, not the truth.

I wasn't criticizing your choice of a source.

Merely commenting on the insane attempt at Obama ass-saving in the article.

"Their feeling is that . . . they got outmaneuvered in any number of different ways,"

On a historical note, in June of 1876, General George Custer spotted the combined forces of about 1800 Lakota, Northern Cheyenne and Arapaho warriors near the Little Big Horn. Worried that they would break up and scatter in different directions, Custer divided the eleven companies of his soldiers into three groups (not counting the 12th company that was guarding the supply pack train), and attacked the entire Indian force with the five companies (just over 300 men) that he kept with him.

I imagine that the 19th century equivalent of NPR would report this as "Custer got outmaneuvered in any number of different ways" rather than as "Custer got whooped because he was a strategic and tactical moron who had no business leading a toddler to bed, let alone leading real Americans".

Note: Custer graduated at the bottom of his class from West Point, which puts him above our cowardly and secretive "Leader", who won't release any records at all.

The idea that not enough people “understood” what Obamacare was designed to do is 180 degrees from the facts and the truth.

There was NO failure to communicate.

It was extremely clear that the intention, the agenda, the purpose, the mission, the objective of Obamcare was simply how to use “health care” as an excuse to vastly expand Federal power, Federal control, Federal tyranny over one of the largest sectors of the economy.

Every major element of Obamcare is not about solving a problem but simply about inserting Federal power and authority and Federal control, in a tyrannical fashion, over the perceived problem.

Obamcare is all about extending, in every way possible, Marxist-type ideology, in the form of centralized Federal power, to various elements of health insurance and health care. That extension of power, not health care or health insurance “reform” IS its agenda, its mission, its purpose.

There was NO failure to communicate.

What failed was the lies, about what Obamcare is not.
