Still More ObamaCare Lies (Obama blames GOP for his failures)
IBD ^ | 12/2/2013 | staff

Posted on 12/03/2013 4:11:58 AM PST by tobyhill

President Obama says so many false things about ObamaCare that it's hard to keep up. But here are two more untruths that deserve debunking.

In speech after speech these days, Obama tries to shift blame for the ongoing ObamaCare debacles onto the backs of Republicans.

In late November, for example, Obama complained that "instead of rooting for failure, or refighting old battles, Republicans in Congress need to work with us to improve those things about the Affordable Care Act that aren't working as well as they should."

Obama's attempt to escape responsibility for the failure of his signature domestic achievement isn't surprising. But in this case, he's falsifying the record.

The fact is that Republicans in the House have already done much to fix ObamaCare, and Obama himself has signed many of those bills into law.

One of the first things Republicans did after taking control of the House was to repeal an onerous tax-reporting scheme Democrats tucked into the law, which would have buried businesses in IRS paperwork. Obama signed that in April 2011.

Of course we want it to fail, not that we have any control of it. This is all their bill and handiwork.

Every time Republicans try to help with this mess Obama attacks them and accuses them of destroying the program.

Ted Cruz tried to help him get a postponement and Obama shut down the government and a month later declared his own postponement.

A song is named for Obama. “What kind of fool am I “

If "ONE" single thing about the ACA-Zerocare is done by the Republicans
to help Obama, "Every Failure" about it will be placed in their laps.
That is not hyperbole, that is a fact!

Odumbo will never accept responsibility for anything and has proven that time after time. I would not be surprise if those two “daughters” are not his either.

RE :”Looks like a con.”

That was my point! Obamacare is a con.

I have got the locked browser before with similar messages, pretty easy to get rid of but from reading info on internet, computers not well protected can have their entire computers locked up by those sites.

* DERANGED PROGRESSIVE THINKING Obama's now suing banks for predator-lending--for "burdening" ths stupids w/ mtges they cant possibly payoff--the same banks he originally sued to setup the subprime mtges.

Yep, and 99% of the populace doesn't even know it.

The twisted deranged progressive mind at work. As a community organizer, Obama sued banks to give out mtges to the underemployed----food stamps and SSI were considered "income." Now, as president, he's suing the same banks for predator lending---for burdening the ne'er do well with mtges they can't possibly pay off.

US ‘robs’ $13B from venerable bank / By Mark DeCambre, NY POST, Oct 19, 2013

JPMorgan Chase has tentatively agreed to pay (Holder's) Dept of Justice a record $13 billion settlement to resolve several civil probes — a costly deal that still doesn’t protect the bank against additional criminal prosecutions.

“This is a basic and fundamental attack on capitalism,” declared Dick Bove, an influential bank analyst at Rafferty Capital. “It is possible that the government is taking away the property of the JPMorgan shareholders without the shareholders having committed any crime or having any say in the expropriation of these funds.” The deal also includes an undisclosed sum to settle a civil suit brought by NY state AG.

Under the settlement, JPMorgan must continue to cooperate with federal investigators probing the banking giant’s issuance of mortgage-backed securities from 2005 to 2007, according to sources.

Still to be ironed out are how to resolve that criminal investigation, along with the wording of any admissions of culpability the feds might require.

DEMS GETTING READY TO CASH-IN BIGTIME?: Obama says it’s time to ‘turn the page’ on Fannie and Freddie
MarketWatch | 7/24/13 | FR Posted by illiac

Obama's speech on the US economy spelled out the beginning of the end for federally-controlled mortgage buyers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. “We’ll work with both parties to turn the page on Fannie and Freddie, and build a housing finance system that’s rock-solid for future generations,” Obama said, according to a copy of his prepared remarks

The House Financial Services Committee approved a bill in July that would get rid of the firms in five years, to be replaced by a National Mortgage Market Utility to help "securitize" mortgages. (Excerpt) more at blogs.marketwatch.com

NOTE WELL---what Obama left out of his remarks Wall Street Journal report on page A15---article entitled “Treasury’s Fannie Mae Heist“.

WSJ: The Federal government is seizing the substantial profits of the government-chartered mortgage firms, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, taking for itself the property and potential gains of private investors the government induced to help prop up these companies. This conduct is intolerable.” A scathing article follows--a must read.

===========================================

FANNIE-MAE--THE DEMOCRATS' CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE / By Michelle Malkin

Fannie/Freddie are centerpieces of the criminal enterprise called the Democrat Party-—where Dem cronies and collaborators loot the organization, get cushy jobs, bonuses, and the like.

Fannie Mae’s political machine dispensed campaign contributions, gave jobs to friends and relatives of legislators, hired armies of lobbyists (even paying lobbyists not to lobby against it), paid academics who wrote papers validating the home ownership mania, and spread “charitable” contributions to housing advocates across the congressional map.

Fannie Mae serves as an industrial-sized patronage factory — sharing profits with political allies, spreading taxpayer funds to voting blocs——like ethnic groups-——and doling out jobsto left-wing academics, Washington has-beens and back-scratching buddies.

Obama insider Fannie Mae exec Jim Johnson got sweetheart loans from shady subprime Countrywide. Pols raked in six-figure salaries as F/F engaged in Enron-style accounting, plunged into debt and helped usher in the subprime housing meltdown through cockamamie lending practices.

Bill Clinton appointed Franklin Raines, Daley and Rahm Emanuel just as the quasi-governmental F/M engaged in rampant book-cooking so that F/M insider could help themselves to massive bonuses.

The Chi/Tribune exposed how political whore Rahm Emanuel’s “profitable stint” was low-show w/ no work involved. Emanuel was not even assigned to committees, according to company proxy statements. Immediately upon joining the board, Emanuel and other insiders qualified for $380,000 in stock and options plus a $20,000 annual fee, public records indicate. W/ Wall Street Rahm Emanuel at F/M, accounting tricks were used to mislead shareholders about outsize profits F/M reaped from risky investments.

The goal was to cook the books to keep fraudulent earnings on the books, to make Freddie Mac look profitable on paper-——AND to fraudulently obtain humongous annual bonuses for Dem political insiders.

This is a perfect example of what I have been saying about the Left, and how they use government and quasi government firms to spread largess around to their favorites and power base.

This is powering their leaders, their constituents, their campaigns, their protests on the streets, and I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that it works it’s way into the pockets of the main stream media players who cover for them.

I submit that this and cronyism at our education facilities and media outlets across the nation, has served to subvert the upcoming generations, so that reasoned Conservatism is overpowered by money and propaganda., and never stands a chance as an ideology with merit.

They are told what is truth, without opposition on the same scale being able to object.

Con artists every single one——schooled in the criminal politics of Chicago-—where running for public office is seen as an “investment.” Once in office-—the govt fraud begins.
