Since he began campaigning for president, Barack Obama has claimed that because his mother had a pre-existing condition, she died of cancer without health insurance coverage.
As it turns out, that was a pure invention to win support for passage of his healthcare legislation. So too was Obamas claim that he watched at his mothers side as she suffered the disease without being insured.
I remember just being heartbroken, he said in a 2007 campaign appearance, seeing her struggle.
According to correspondence unearthed by Janny Scott, a New York Times writer and author of the book A Singular Woman: The Untold Story of Barack Obamas Mother, Ann Dunhams cancer treatments were fully covered by her employers insurance policy. She was turned down for disability insurance because of a pre-existing condition.
Moreover, Obama had not seen his mother for months when she died in a Honolulu hospital in 1995, according to Scotts book and to friends interviewed by The Washington Post. Her son was in Chicago, planning a run for an Illinois state Senate seat. He did not go to see his mother until a day after she died on Nov. 7, 1995....
That excuse is as credible as Obamas claim that he had no idea his minister and self-described mentor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., was an anti-white anti-America, anti-Israel hatemonger.
As noted in my article "Obama Distorted Rev. Wrights Background," Obama went on to make up stories about how deprived and discriminated against Wright was while growing up in Philadelphia.

His presidency taints his presidency.
What the heck does he have to taint? What is his legacy of positive accomplishments?
He gave the OK to kill pirates, and he gave the OK (after dawdling) to kill Bin Laden.
His legacy is letting other people do their jobs twice.
Obama IS a fabrication.
Taint his presidency? We wish.
Pravda will ignore, and the average American has no clue. If you bring it up, you’ll get scolded with: “Where did you hear that Faux News?”
We are witnessing the death of the American experiment.
Obama IS taint.................
When you have a ‘wet behind the ears’ kid with no experience in running a business or government, what can be expected?
I did sit by my Mothers side as she was dying with Cancer.
It wasn’t a duty I enjoyed, but I cannot understand a son who would go months without seeing a dying mother, knowing she was dying and ignoring her. Then to tell a bald faced lie about it.
What a sorry bag of skin this piece of scum is.
His whole life is a pathetic lie. The only person he loves is himself, and it shows.
Obama is a con man.
He knows virtually nothing and he doesn’t care what he destroys as long as he is advanced.
That’s the right word....one step beyond an a..hole!
Excellent post. I would add that he scarcely spent any time with the grandmother who raised him as she was in the final years of her life.
Narcissism on steroids.
His singular skill is the ability to read from a tele-prompter in a hypnotic, semi-convincing fashion most of the time.
Obama’s entire life is a lie.
Obama IS a fabrication, yes, but he is also
A HOLOGRAM IN SEARCH OF A TELEPROMPTER
Can we offer a reward to the first lamestream operative to ask Obozo about this apparent discrepancy? Also, can we run a lottery on his reply if this miracke were to ever happen? My money is on "I may have misspoken, but you are too stupid to understand what I was trying to say."
Great idea, but let’s face it, no one in the LSM will ever claim it.
This says more about the man than the Reverend Wright or Bill Ayers.
This information about not “seeing” his mother came out here on FR back in 08 during the campaign. Not only was he busy working on his campaign but he also had his book of lies come out during the same time and he had to spend lots of time promoting that. Spending time with dying mom was not on his priority list.
Zero’s lie about his mother (there’s the sequel title — “Lies I Told About My Mother” — it can also cover the fake birth certificate, multiple name changes, etc) makes zero sense — he was making money, why would he let his mother die from alleged lack of treatment? Because it was the gov’t’s job?!? Thanks freespirited.
