Barney Frank on Obamacare rollout: ‘They just lied to people’
Washington Times ^ | 8-3-14 | Kellan Howell

the mishandling of the new health care law.

“The rollout was so bad, and I was appalled—I don’t understand how the president could have sat there and not been checking on that on a weekly basis,” the former Democratic congressman told the website.

“But frankly, he should never have said as much as he did, that if you like your current health care plan, you can keep it. That wasn’t true. And you shouldn’t lie to people. And they just lied to people,” he added.

Mr. Frank told The Huffington Post that Mr. Obama should have better explained the situation to the American people, and laid out the possibilities of losing their existing plans.

“He should have said, ‘Look, in some cases the health care plans that you’ve got are really inadequate, and in your own interests, we’re going to change them.’ But that’s not what he said,” Mr. Frank said.

He should be in jail right now for his an Frank Dowds lies regarding the mortgage meltdown. He repeatedly lied, saying things were alright, and he knew better.

And what is your excuse Barney? You are the King, rather Queen of liars. When did you last tell the truth about anything?

If Obama had told the truth about ObamaCare the American people would have fought to the end and ousted every Democrat in office in 2012.

Obama and the Democrats knowingly and willfully lied to the American people about ObamaCare and they continue to lie about it to this day in a attempt to defraud the American people.

Barney Frank is accusing someone else of lying? Wow! Just wow!

This guy and his banking committee were more responsible for the 2008/2009 economic collapse than any other single entity, and yet it’s never talked about by the media.

If there are levels of hell, this guy is going to wind up in close to the worse level, if not the very worst.

What a POS. Just like McNamara finally speaking out about Vietnam. You might have done some good if you’d have making these points before the die was cast.

Barney Frank vindicating South Carolina’s Joe Wilson. On Obama Lie. Who would have thunk it, the press sure as heck won’t have the decency cover it.

A stopped watch is right twice a day.

Not so much in this case, actually.

Frank was there. As a Senior Democrat, and Chair of a powerful House Committee he knew what the deal was - even had a hand in creating the thing. He had the opportunity, and indeed the duty, to correct the Administration and his own leadership on the lies.

He chose to keep his mouth shut. So while he can accuse the Administration of lies of commission, he proves himself guilty of lies of omission. Which, if my upbringing taught me anything, are just as bad.

That’s the Liberal MO, lie to people and hope they change their minds later and that it wont matter.

They lied about Obamacare, and they are lying about Global Warming.
