Fresh doubt cast on Obama's health care story
Washington Examiner ^ | 7/11/11 | Byron York

Posted on 07/11/2011 6:06:49 PM PDT by Nachum

During the 2008 presidential campaign, Barack Obama often discussed his mother's struggle with cancer. Ann Dunham spent the months before her death in 1995, Obama said, fighting with insurance companies that sought to deny her the coverage she needed to pay for treatment.

"I remember in the last month of her life, she wasn't thinking about how to get well, she wasn't thinking about coming to terms with her own mortality, she was thinking about whether or not insurance was going to cover the medical bills and whether our family would be bankrupt as a consequence," Obama said in September 2007.

"She was in her hospital room looking at insurance forms because the insurance company said that maybe she had a pre-existing condition and maybe they wouldn't have to reimburse her for her medical bills," Obama added in January 2008.

"The insurance companies were saying, 'Maybe there's a pre-existing condition and we don't have to pay your medical bills,' " Obama said in a debate with Republican opponent Sen. John McCain in October 2008.

Sounds like AARP insurance. ;’) Thanks Nachum.

Actually, it sounds like Zerocare Death Panels in action.

A dozen years later, her son turned her ordeal into a campaign pitch for national health care. But the story Obama told, Scott writes, was "abbreviated" -- the abbreviation was to leave out the fact that Ann Dunham had health insurance that paid for her treatment.

I am begining to wonder if Obama ever told the truth about anything.

My Wife's Niece had an ex boyfriend who was a Habitual Liar. In my many years on this earth, I had never come across such a vile person.

Just a year later, my fellow Countrymen Elected another Habitual Liar. 55 years without having to deal with lowlifes like that, and then boom, two in one year.

The damage to my Wife's Family from the boyfriend was not long lasting, but the damage being caused by Pharaoh Obama will outlive me, of that I am sure.

Wow, what a story. So let me see, his mom had health insurance and was covered for her treatment in Hawaii except for a couple of hundred dollars a month because of deductibles and other uncovered expenses. The boss even covered for the airfare to have her return to HI.

So then she tries to get that money plus living expenses in Hawaii paid through the company’s disabilitiy insurance. They denied her THAT PORTION saying the condition was pre-existing before she was covered by the disability insurance policy. So she must have signed up for disability insurance after being diagnosed with cancer.

Couldn’t obama have helped his mom out with the deductible? Wasn’t she living with her mom? (that would help with living expenses)

obama told a whopper.

In California, if a parent dies with no assets, even if the children never knew him, they will make the children pay for his/her burial. No kidding. It’s the law.

I wonder if while at Columbia he took classes from Cloward or Piven. Maybe that’s why he doesn’t release his Columbia info.

Obama once got caught telling the truth, but he lied his way out of it.

Wow, I live in California.

My Dad is 88. If he looks like he's on his last legs, I'll put him on a Casino Bus to Vegas.

It's OK, he really loves Vegas.

I'll give him Harry Reid's address so I know he will be well taken care of when he expires, just like Edward G. Robinson was in Soylent Green.

This guy has glided through life being able to get away with the most egregious lies because of affirmative action. He knows darn well that the MSM and his allies will cry “racism” if anyone were to even raise a single question about his crazy lies. God help us if he gets re-elected.

Probably so but it is his liberalism that takes care of him more than his race. Bill Clinton lied even more and about worse things and got smooth away with them even to this day.

"58 states"

"57 states"

If you listen to what Barack Hussien Obama said, he actually thinks there are 60 states. He said he has visited 57, 2 left to go and 1 his campaign management wouldn't let him go to. That makes 60 states.

Both grandma and mommy worked for the “Ford Foundation”...

Look it up and somewhere I remember that Stanley’s SS# is still active.

I don’t know if it still is or if it was even true!!!

There are a number variations of a quote that was [incorrectly] attributed to Joseph Goebbels:

If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth ... If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it ... If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it ... If you repeat a lie long enough, it becomes truth ... If you repeat a lie many times, people are bound to start believing it.

Here is an ACTUAL quote:

But the most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly and with unflagging attention. It must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over. Here, as so often in this world, persistence is the first and most important requirement for success.

From "War Propaganda", Volume 1, Chapter 6 of Mein Kampf (1925), by Adolf Hitler

Obama reminds me of this guy I knew that would lie about being a Green Beret and everything else about him to pick up women.
