Rush Limbaugh: Obama lie worse than Nixon By: Mackenzie Weinger November 1, 2013 03:05 PM EDT

Rush Limbaugh on Friday said President Richard Nixon “resigned over a lie” nowhere near as big or damaging as President Barack Obama’s “lie about keeping your insurance,” which he called perhaps “the biggest lie ever told by a sitting president.”

Limbaugh told his listeners that Americans “are losing coverage by political design.” And Nixon’s resignation over the Watergate scandal was nothing compared to what’s happened under this administration, the conservative radio host said.

“It’s a purposeful, deceitful, fraudulent law,” he said, according to a transcript. “I think Obama’s lie about keeping your insurance may be the biggest lie ever told by a sitting president. This is not an error. It was not a mistake. This was a calculated, purposeful lie — and the mainstream media carried his water on this until just last week. And now? Now they’re claiming that they knew it was a lie all along! Isn’t it funny how they never told us, though? But now they say, ‘We kinda knew this.’”

And, Limbaugh said, “the White House knew out there that 93 million Americans were gonna lose their policy.”

“Richard Nixon resigned over a lie nowhere near this big,” he said. “And you know the hell of it is that Obama doesn’t think he lied. I don’t think Obama, in his mind, is capable of lying. Whatever is necessary to say or do to advance the agenda is what is morally correct. Doesn’t matter. He doesn’t care. He doesn’t think he lied.”

That depends on what the meaning of “is” is!

Ouch. That leaves a mark. Talk about below the belt, Rush.

Somebody sent a note to the local radio station this morning calling obama a “Chocolate Nixon”. They wisely decided that they wouldn’t call him a “Chocolate Nixon” and made it crystal clear that the station would never refer to him as a “Chocolate Nixon”...

Of course it’s worse! Watergate was just politics gone bad. Today, that level of corruption is just business-as-usual for the Dems. The shutdown drama and ACA are actively hurting Americans who didn’t sign on to play the political game.

Obama told his at least 3 times a week for over a year.

Nixon's lie personally meant nothing to my family.

Obama's lie will cost me $10 to $15 thousand per year for the rest of my life.

And this lie is not even the worst one. The promises he makes to young people about their futures and his so-called "fairness" emphasis, while at the same time imposing a debt burden on them that is out of proportion to the burden baby boomers and seniors can possibly pay off, tops even the "you can keep it" broken promise.

If young people are the ones most negatively impacted by the demands of the Obama/Clinton/Progressives' Obamacare Act, then someone needs to tap into their brains the message that young people are being asked to pay for everyone's health care as far as the mind can fathom, and that this factual consequence doesn't meet Obama's own "fairness" mantra.

Somebody better begin to latch onto to that core idea of this monstrocity called the ACA!

Beginning with the current generation of youth, and carrying on as long as this law is imposed, the potential for economic achievement and success will be limited for the working generations.

Nixon had nothing on Clinton OR Obama. Both outpaced Nixon. Obama by FAR, FAR, outdoing Nixon.

Worse then a lie. People are not only losing their health care insurance, they are also failing to get new policies because of the messed up web site. So not only did they lose their previous plan, but they cannot even get a new plan. So they have lost all their health insurance even though they had been paying the bills.

I would say he just does not care that he lied.

True enough, Nixon made one teeny white lie once, Obama has made the same lie thousands of times. Nixons lie did no damage to anyone, Obamas lie will damage millions of lives forever.
