Obama Advisor: If Obama Hadn’t Lied, He Would Have “Violated his Promise” to Americans
Frontpage Mag. ^ | November 3, 2013 | Daniel Greenfield

Obama is so honest that even when he lies… it’s only to be honest. Sure Obama lied to Americans… but it was for their own good. He was only lying to Americans in order to keep his promise to them.

Dan (Pfeiffer’s crazy spin) on Obama’s now infamous “If you like your plan, you can keep your plan” lie may be more addled than Orwellian. It goes through more contortions than a gymnast falling out of a plane.

Plugging in the now familiar claim that the cancelled plans were somehow “substandard”, Dan Pfeiffer tries to argue that Obama had to choose between two betrayals of the American people. Either he had to lie to them about their coverage or let them keep their “substandard” plans.

The ObamaCare plans with their high premiums and deductibles and small networks don’t guarantee access to quality affordable health insurance. But even if they did, Pfeiffer’s argument that one lie justifies another, that Americans can be tricked by lying about being able to keep their plans in order to force them into the plans that are good for them are at the heart of everything wrong with the mindset of liberalism.

"Never in history has a nation so great fallen so far, so fast, as ours did on Nov. 6, 2012. Albert Einstein said, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Using this definition, anyone who expects anything different from Obama must surely be insane."

Just wait until the employer mandate kicks in and millions more are forced to pay higher premiums or loose their employer supplied health insurance. If that hadn’t been delayed there would be an even more monumental storm right now.

That is golden. I’m glad I attend church. Its taught me enough wisdom and discernment to know when an idiot is talking. This is one of those moments...: )

Of course the left puts no value on the founding principles,
but...

this is a “pre-American” assumption that the nobility knew better than the peasants how the peasants should live.

Our country was founded on the premise that each person knew best for his own life,
and the governors could only govern with the consent of the governed.

So Obama had to lie to keep his promise. Obama may have also felt he needed to destroy it (country) in order to save it.

The employer delay may not be not such a bad thing after all. People will be getting their notices early Fall of 2014, right before elections. They won't have had a year to get used to the idea, figure something out or simply give up over it. No, they'll be stunned and furious and they'll vote.

“When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion–when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing–when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors–when you see that men get richer by graft than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you–when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice–you may know that your society is doomed.”

-’Atlas Shrugged’

What Obama is doing is coming straight from the communist manifesto

And liberals appreciate how well their deceit worked, everything justifies their end goal of socialized healthcare, single-payer.

We now know there were meeting, although I'm sure Obama knew nothing about them, about the lie and it was an approved strategy.

Your average sheeperal isn’t driven by some ideological motive to obtain power,

and I think this is where we can “lever” them really good,
if not just to rub their nose in it.

You avg sheeperal is motivated by the need to feel good about themselves as “a good person”.
And, you see, “good people” don’t deceive others to obtain/maintain power,
and “good people” don’t trick people into supporting them with a lie that will be devastating when revealed,
and “good people” don’t stick a gun in someone’s face “for their own good”.

This is the “lever” - “No, you’re NOT a good person if you support this guy and this policy. You’re a BAD person, and there will be a judgement.”

Huh...??

The “O” administration is text book ‘white collar crime’.

Before he’s done, he’ll put a whole new spin on the terms ‘pillage’ and ‘plunder’!!

This scale of indiscriminate, rapacious grabbing would have made Visigoths envious!

...on Nov. 6, 2012. Albert Einstein said, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

People keep thinking socialism and/or socialism mixed with fascism will work. Even though ages of human nature, 50 million (plus) dead in the 20th century, uncounted millions living in misery, and plain common sense would teach us otherwise.

My conclusion is many people are insane, easily manipulated, or easily distracted by shiny objects while their wallets and very freedoms are stolen.
