Obama: We didn’t mislead on health care (the Liar in Chief speaks)
politico ^

Posted on 11/16/2014 2:15:19 PM PST by Red in Blue PA

BRISBANE, Australia — President Barack Obama denied Sunday that his signature health care reform law was deceptively marketed, rejecting statements by a consultant on the plan who said aspects of Obamacare were designed to take advantage of the “stupidity” of voters.

“The fact that an adviser who was never on our staff expressed an opinion that I completely disagree with in terms of the voters is not a reflection on the actual process that was run,” Obama declared at a press conference here, speaking for the first time about the comments by MIT economist Jonathan Gruber.

“I would just advise every press outlet here: Pull up every clip and every story. I think it’s fair to say there was not a provision in the health care law that was not extensively debated and was fully transparent,”


doubling down on dishonesty. a massive whopper like this is stunning, even for him.

but he can flat out challenged the media to prove that he's a liar when he knows that he owns them.

I’m glad my President has cleared that up today. For a couple days there, I was like ‘Whoa dude! Did this guy actually try to put one past me? My President? MY president? It seemed like it from what this really smart guy from MIT said.

But actually what happened is that this guy Gruber isn’t even really even involved in Obamacare, and Barack doesn’t even really seem to like him. He acts like he kind of hates him.

So I realized Obama does Care for us, ALL of us, just like the name says, and he wouldn’t lie to us. Because we are like children, and he is like a father, and a father wouldn’t lie to or hurt a child. So I knew it couldn’t be true. I’m so stupid sometimes. I’m going to write a litter apologizing.

Hey let’s all put our heads together as a family (his family) and write a group letter from Free Republic so he knows we’re behind him during these racist times in the world. Because If I had a daughter, she would throw like Obama. Yay!

“Good morning,” Obama said, in the middle of the night, “The sun is shining and it is beautiful.” I could barely hear him, the hurricane’s roar drowned him out.

“I would just advise every press outlet here: Pull up every clip and every story. I think it’s fair to say there was not a provision in the health care law that was not extensively debated and was fully transparent,” the president declared. “It was a tough debate.”

Debate where? Within the White House staff? It certainly wasn't debated in Congress, it wasn't even read by the ones voting on it. It wasn't debated in the press, in public meetings, on television, on the radio. It was written and passed by Democrat elitists, run by incompetents, and enforced by a government agency that is unapologetically fascist. Common to all is one simple characteristic: all are shameless liars.

According to Gruber, in his own words, the fraud part of it was your idea not his.

Ha! Pretty funny you both added the same parenthetical comment to your headlines.

He’s the biggest liar of them all, and this “I just read about it in the paper” bs needs to stop.

I do not recall ever getting the opportunity to vote up or down on Obamacare, therefore I wasn’t misled by Gruber and his minions. Congress got that opportunity and only the Democrats voted for it. Not one Republican voted for Obamacare. Therefore, apparently not one Republican member of Congress was misled, but every Democrat was. Where is the outrage from the Democrats about being treated like mushrooms. So far there has been none, which leads me to believe that they were in on the scam job all along. They knew!

Not a simple Republican senator or Congressman voted in favor of that monstrosity called Obamacare. It must be make perfectly clear that democrat Phd com man Gruber, called stupid not all the American voters, but just the democrat voters that put the “Liar in Chief” in the White House, in spite of his Marxist anti-American back ground, and all the Democrats legislators co-conspirators with the president in the greatest deception in the history of the United States.

The cock crows; the Jackass lies.

And the republicans sit on their hands waiting for the collapse of the US!!!

Obama could probably commit capital murder on live television and the media would ignore it and the republicans would keep their heads in the sand!!!!
