Count 'Em… Obama Lied 8 Times About Televising Healthcare Debate
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, January 6, 2010, 6:02 AM
Eight times Barack Obama promised during the 2008 campaign to televise the Congressional health care debates.
Drudge reported on these lies this morning.
Instead democrats are meeting secretly this week to work out the final details on their nationalized health care scheme.
Here’s the video:
Via Naked Emperor News.
Michelle Malkin wrote more on these closeted late night secret democratic negotiations to nationalize health care today in her column.
According to The Politico:
The president is favoring the Senate’s more conservative approach, which is not surprising considering the political realities. Passing reform is now a numbers game – 60 and 218. Pelosi has votes to spare. Reid does not.
But in the end, the democrats will line up and ram this unpopular bill down America’s throat despite the naive concerns of the state-run media.
Founding Bloggers calls this Obama’s “Read my lips” moment.

These are only the eight that the great Pam of the great great Naked Emporor News could find (did I say she was great – a true patriot). There could be more times when he actually said it.

Of course, it’s impossible to bring this up in polite society, since we would all be called ‘racist’.

the lamestream media won’t care, and neither will the sheeple who follow obama…brian lamb is one of those politcally ambiguous journalists who many insiders do, at least, respect. lamb’s letter and request should create an interesting problem for pelosi, reid, obama et al.

I keep wondering why nobody is questioning the legallity of the dictatorial procedure to legislate behind closed doors with no Repubs present and with no regard for what the public wants.

I just wanted to say that Malkin’s illo is a gross racist insult … to vampires everywhere.

“Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians” for 2009
[#7: President Barack Obama: During his presidential campaign, President Obama promised to run an ethical and transparent administration. However, in his first year in office, the President has delivered corruption and secrecy, bringing Chicago-style political corruption to the White House. Consider just a few Obama administration "lowlights" from year one: Even before President Obama was sworn into office, he was interviewed by the FBI for a criminal investigation of former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich's scheme to sell the President's former Senate seat to the highest bidder. (Obama's Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and slumlord Valerie Jarrett, both from Chicago, are also tangled up in the Blagojevich scandal.) Moreover, the Obama administration made the startling claim that the Privacy Act does not apply to the White House. The Obama White House believes it can violate the privacy rights of American citizens without any legal consequences or accountability. President Obama boldly proclaimed that "transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency," but his administration is addicted to secrecy, stonewalling far too many of Judicial Watch's Freedom of Information Act requests and is refusing to make public White House visitor logs as federal law requires. The Obama administration turned the National Endowment of the Arts (as well as the agency that runs the AmeriCorps program) into propaganda machines, using tax dollars to persuade "artists" to promote the Obama agenda. According to documents uncovered by Judicial Watch, the idea emerged as a direct result of the Obama campaign and enjoyed White House approval and participation. President Obama has installed a record number of "czars" in positions of power. Too many of these individuals are leftist radicals who answer to no one but the president. And too many of the czars are not subject to Senate confirmation (which raises serious constitutional questions). Under the President's bailout schemes, the federal government continues to appropriate or control -- through fiat and threats -- large sectors of the private economy, prompting conservative columnist George Will to write: "The administration's central activity -- the political allocation of wealth and opportunity -- is not merely susceptible to corruption, it is corruption." Government-run healthcare and car companies, White House coercion, uninvestigated ACORN corruption, debasing his office to help Chicago cronies, attacks on conservative media and the private sector, unprecedented and dangerous new rights for terrorists, perks for campaign donors – this is Obama's "ethics" record -- and we haven't even gotten through the first year of his presidency.]

Bg,
Fox news on Tv from noon to 1:00pm did a feature on the terrorist training in the US. They said we don’t have to worry about them training in Afghanistan or Yemen because they are already training here. I’m sure they will run it again so try to watch it.

And to openly show whose votes were bought and what it costs to buy a vote. And they have no shame, the corruption is shown on national television!

Paddy commented:
Obama’s promises were intended to induce people to vote for him. Obama knew his promises to provide an honest, transparent and bipartisan governance were false when he made them. He has committed a fraud upon the American public and should be held accountable. This sort of fraud seems to qualify as high crimes or misdemeanors within the meaning of Article II, Section 4 of the US Constitution that define the grounds for impeachment.
Padre Steve commented:
I think we did get the American people enlisted in the process via the Tea Parties and the left dismissed them. But, the public is awake now and paying attention!

thanks, but i don’t watch TV much, don’t get cable news, and have been watching & reading & posting about the terrorists camps (and much more) for several years now (long before i even heard of GP).. ergo, NONE of it is NEWS to me..
the only thing that is news to me, is that they’re finally airing some of this information.. unfortunately for US, it’s like announcing they closed the barn door 10 to 20 years after the horse got out.. *sigh*

In A Single Decade, America Comes Full Circle
And so the new decade begins much like the last one: with the death of a dozen or so American servicemen — this time on our own soil — in the war between Islamic fundamentalism and Western civilization; a war that our current president doesn’t seem to have the stomach even to acknowledge, much less fight. Welcome to 2010.

Chicago Police Department Seriously Considering Dropping Entrance Exam
So few minorities can pass the Chicago police department entrance exam that the only option the city can see is dropping the exam altogether. If this happens, Chicago will be the only major city to not have one. How will eliminating the bar help keep the city and its citizens safer? It won’t. But it is the politically correct thing to do.

Scott Jerome commented:
To me, the remarkable lesson of this is to compare these 8 lies to the one lie that George W. Bush supposedly made; That there were WMD in Iraq.
Lefties never cared about the fact that many other credible people preceeding Bush (including Bill Clinton) claimed that Iraq had WMD. They just plugged their ears and sang, “La la la lah, I can’t hear you. Bush lied, people died…Lahlahlahlahlah”
Now we have these lies by The One on video and what does Pelosi say?
“Well, he made a lot of promises on the campaign trail.” As if….
Drop dead incredible.

What would really be Page One News would be a story where it was confirmed that Obama actually told the truth.

Obummer lied, people died.
Obummer lie count on everything he ever said: 8,980,749,299,001
That is a big Zero for truth.

How stupidly is the major media to gush over the obama healthcare plan and ignore the obama’s participation in the Chicago hospital patient dumping scam, an omen for America’s future health system.
Mahdi Al-Dajjal commented:
Let’s hope that the Republicans can attain a sufficiient majority in the next Congress to impeach the dictator wannabe Obama and remove him from office. Then… the fun will really begin as the Left goes completely bonkers.
Finncrisp commented:
President Obama was barely a US Senator before his run for president. Apparently his constitutional work did not include study of the separation of powers. He can’t make Congress do anything with regards to C-span of their proceedings. He lacks standing (as the leader of the executive branch) to do so. Hey, but it makes a great empty promise that can be dismissed later by all involved. Bigger fish to fry, let’s move on.
DavidD commented:
Yes, but will the mainstream media call him on it in a national broadcast?
Until they do, it’ll never be a “Read my lips” moment.
Larkin commented:
To obama, lying comes as natural as breathing… or reading a teleprompter.
It’s the Chicago way.
