Obama Hawks His Edsel
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 11/06/2013 | IBD Staff

Posted on 11/07/2013 6:38:53 AM PST by IBD editorial writer

Sleaze: President Obama has been selling ObamaCare with the zeal of a TV pitchman. But if his product is so great, why are his own people terrified about the reaction when people actually see what he's peddling?

The product is good," Obama said in a speech on Oct. 21. "It's high quality and it's affordable."

In that same speech, he said ObamaCare insurance is "really good," and "a good deal." He said "the prices are good" and "have come down."

In Boston on Oct. 30, he called it "a better deal from insurers," adding that "the deal is good. The prices are low." He said "you're going to get a better deal."

You could at least drive an Edsel. You also could choose not to buy one.

Anything from goobermint with “affordable” in the title is going to be rotten.

Look at HAMP-”Home Affordable Mortgage Program” and what a success that was:

HAMP modified 1.2 million mortgages (70% less than the target)
306,000 re-defaults
Another 88,000 at risk
The re-default rate is an alarming 30%
The re-default rate of those in since 2009 is 46%

Texas is ashamed that those ex-ACORN slugs in Dallas showed up to applaud that liar, but if you pay them, they will come.

It’s NOT an Edsel. BAD ANALOGY!!!

Edsels still have value. People collect them. Obamacare will never be treasured in perpetuity. Who would want 3,000 page document of leftist chicanery?

Oh, well, what’s another couple of lies! He’s told so many, I doubt he knows the truth if he ever did.
