The Audacity to Lie… Obama Tells Republican Senators That Obamacare Will Reduce the Debt
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, May 26, 2010, 11:02 AM
This didn’t make any headlines yesterday. The corrupt state-run media quit fact-checking President Obama a long, long time ago. Barack Obama told Republican Senators yesterday that his nationalized health care plan would reduce the debt.
Not true.
It will add at least $115 billion more to the debt. It won’t lower the deficit.
ABC News reported:
At the GOP caucus meeting, Sen. Barrasso took issue with the skyrocketting national debt, saying something along the lines of: what are you going to do about the national debt now that we know health care isn’t going to do anything?
The president said to Barrasso that while he didn’t want to re-litigate the health care reform bill, “let’s get our facts right.” He went on to describe how the legislation would in fact reduce the debt. He offered to compare the Democratic health care bill with President Bush’s Medicare prescription drug benefit in terms of which adds more to the debt.
It’s hard to know where he gets his facts from. The democratic nationalized health care plan will cover millions of uninsured Americans. Even a 5 year-old understands that this will cost more money. The CBO says Obamacare will cost taxpayers at least $115 billion more than promised. The Obama Administration knew about this before the bill was passed. But, Obama still wants to pretend that the law will save Americans money.
No wonder the Republican senators were upset with yesterday’s meeting.

Obama-Speak, the fusion of sophistry and Newspeak, some see it as a gift, but most see it for what it is, he just lies.

“No wonder the Republican senators were upset with yesterday’s meeting.”
Hussein obviously has serious psychological problems. Yet we have Senators, Snow, Collins, and Brown that voted for that so called financial reform bill. You would think they would have noticed by now, that they should not attach their names to anything presented by him, or his party. Yet, they keep going back, listening to the lies, voting on legislation. They will be held accountable, for their own ignorance.
It’s like the abused wife, who keeps going back to the husband everyone tells her to stay away from. Eventually, she ends up dead.

It is frustrating. The republican leadership said they would not work with the democrats for the rest of the year after HC was rammed through. I remember seeing Scott Brown standing behind them nodding his head.
Andreas K. commented:
Spending more reduces the deficit. Ok, I’ll remember that, should I ever end up in debt.

OT, but good to hear on video linked by Drudge (far right column – scroll down half way) to: Carville’s oil outburst.
Ripping into BO for nonaction in the Gulf disaster, at about the 2:15 mark, he starts in on a long list of what BO could have done — says people are “begging” for something – anything – and “he’s not involved.”
“We’re about to die down here,” cries Carville, who hails from LA. Kinda confirms the only thing that’ll get the Left hollering about one of their own is when they themselves are affected. Otherwise, they’ll excuse just about anything.
Maybe his is a level of narcissism that’s too much to get the mind around, but I can’t believe anyone could be this out of touch. Or this stupid or this incompetent. I’m left believing BO must think this disaster will work to help achieve some perverted goal. So long as he can keep pointing the finger.

One thing is clear. Barack Obama is a badly educated individual.
Throughout his lifetime he has been exposed exclusively to a Marxist worldview. Despite the murderous failure of Marxism throughout the 20th Century, his mind is unsullied by facts. He espouses government-run health care as if socialism has been an unadulterated success.
He seems unaware that conservatives see the world differently, so he insists that they should have the courage to stand up to their base. But their base is their base because they share a non-Marxist worldview.
Obama has never been exposed to any opinions beyond his Marxist fantasy bubble, and because he has no real-world experience, he has never encountered the inevitable failures of Marxism in practice.
It’s like having a college kid as president.
Don Rodrigo commented:
Obamacare will not add just $115 billion over that 10-year period, it will add much more. I’m absolutely confident of what I’m saying because this has been the past history of new entitlement programs, and especially of federal health care initiatives. The cost of Obamacare, if not repealed, will likely double over that 10 year period beyond the projected cost.

So, BO is a lieing POS. Old news.
