The Governor pulls no punches in her latest piece:
President Obama flew in to Boston today to deliver another “ShamWow”-style infomercial for Obamacare, and it went about as well as his entourage’s snarled traffic debacle in Beantown.
As millions of Americans are being kicked off their desired insurance plans and seeing their premiums skyrocket, the President had a lot of ‘splaining to do today. For starters we anticipated a Presidential apology for lying to Americans repeatedly when he promised things like, “If you like your current health care plan, you can keep it.” Make no mistake, he knew he was lying when he said that. And make no further mistake, after five years of false Obama claims, no one should actually expect contrition on this administration’s part.
Bloomberg reports that in June of 2010, the administration knew millions would be kicked off existing healthcare plans due to Obamacare; but President Obama continued to knowingly deceive the American people with repeated claims that if we liked our current plan we could keep it.
So, finally busted, did the President apologize? Was remorse and sympathy shown for Americans who now can’t afford health insurance thanks to Obamacare? Nope. He instead informed us that Americans who receive cancellation notices have been on “substandard” plans supplied by “bad apple” insurers. That’s right. Obama didn’t lie to you when he said, “if you like your plan, you can keep it.” Why? Because, you sillies, you DIDN’T REALLY like the plan you chose for yourselves! No arguing. Barack Obama knows best and he’ll tell you whether you actually liked your insurance plan or not. If you’re an elderly bachelor, your old plan was clearly “substandard” because it didn’t offer maternity care. What’s that you say? You don’t need maternity care? Well, according to the President today, he says you do, and any insurance plan that doesn’t offer it is a “junk” plan provided by a “bad apple” insurer.
But don’t worry, the President also promised that only “rich” people making $250,000 or more will see their premium costs rise. This lie is so appalling and so easily debunked that the brazenness with which he made it is simply breathtaking. But who will hold him accountable for it? Media, you know I love you… so let me help you save your hide with the American public by suggesting you fact-check that.
Despite the Obamacare rollout disaster and the broken government website (which HHS Secretary Sebelius admitted is a “debacle” in her testimony before Congress today), the President gleefully highlighted the few people signing up for Obamacare as indicative of his socialized medicine’s “success.” He neglected to mention that the government is forcing Americans to sign up for his program or pay fines that will increase each year we fail to do so.
For sheer chutzpah, the President closed his speech by praising America’s “rugged individualism.” Because nothing says “rugged individualism” like heavy-handed big government forcing individuals to buy a product they don’t want and arrogantly telling them they didn’t really like the product they wisely chose for themselves and could afford.
Thanks for the infomercial, Mr. President. I don’t know anyone who wants your “ShamWow” product, but the IRS will make sure we call that toll free number or go online to order it right now…. well, just as soon as your impossibly broken $600 million website is fixed and your phones lines aren’t busy.
Happy with this, America? Make your voices heard. 2014 is just around the corner.

P.S. Take a look at this article by Fox’s Eric Bolling:
http://nation.foxnews.com/2013/10/30/eric-bolling-why-healthcaregov-website-failure-mattersbig-time
As Eric asks, “If they can’t get a basic website up and running in three years… How on God’s green Earth are they going to administer health care to 300 million Americans? So, with billions upon billions of health related communications clearing through the government medicine portal annually, our very health will be hanging in the balance…Therefore, you must conclude: The Obama administration has our lives in their hands…Ask yourself… Do you trust President Obama, Valerie Jarrett, Kathleen Sebelius and Jay Carney with your life? I certainly do not!”
Thank God for Sarah.
Notice she does not have her feet on our desk.
Sarah,,
can You Help us?
Id rather see Sarah run for President :-) What we need to do is FIGHT for this country..because right now we are at a precipice, either we watch this great country become full blown Communist or we save it and turn it back to the freedom loving country we all know and love
Yes. . I can't even write what. . .
God once again gives us a Deborah to encourage sissy men to get up and fight in the battle.
Thank you Sarah for leading the charge. Our chosen leaders in DC need to follow your lead!
I no longer care which. Like muslims, these people are not compatible with human civilization.
Me too. I'm just thinking, with the way Washington works, would it be better to take Mark Begich's seat in the Senate, and then announce a year later she's running for President?
Begich liberal rating: Rated as a 'Strong Liberal' by thatsmycongress.com, liberal score 75/100, right up there with Barbara Boxer.
All the more frustrating because judging by the reader/consumer comments at MSM news sites that allow comments, about two thirds hold the democrat controlled news outlets in contempt for being so blatantly biased.
If Republicans spoke out, they'd cheer -- although the news outlets would never acknowledge it.
The RNC is fully complicit these days. They are after the Tea Party, not Democrats.
I like Sarah but......
That is an ongoing insult to all us Sarah supporters. Did you really want her to run last time?
The problem I see is the slothful zero infobots will not fact check anything. All they want is their Sham-Wow and the latest ideology. If they can get it for the bargain price and the two-for-one special, tough cookies for anyone else. In their America, it is all for me. There is only heaven on Earth and the hell with anyone else.
Bravo to Sarah Palin! She is telling it like it is from real America where God is in hearts of men and life is not controlled by the IPod.
Wish VJ was toast !
>>Make no mistake, he knew he was lying when he said that.<<
.
Is a law that was passed as a result of a lie still a valid law?
This pricing differential based upon income is unConstitutional. Where does it say in the law that you can do that? Never has health insurance been priced based upon income. You buy health insurance based upon how much you can afford. When you strip out the supply-and-demand equation, the price for health insurance can only be controlled by Big Government. They will control the price ceiling. We all know what price controls does to the availability of the product. For you zer0 infobots from places like the Democratic Underground, I give you a hint:
Wow..nice! Cruz/ Palin....2014
Blather, Reince, Repeat.
I like Sarah but...... That is an ongoing insult to all us Sarah supporters. Did you really want her to run last time?
Whoa. . . all I meant is I can't write what I think of the guy who does put his feet up on the desk. .
My guess/bet is that many of the congress and courts have been compromised, knowingly or unknowingly until now, by campaign funding from the likes of Soros and his outlets. Politics is a filthy world and I think Palin has found this out. However, Obama and his enablers answer to more powerful entities through people like Jarrett, Axelrod, and the Chicago communist group that involves the Aryes family including poppa who was chief officer of Con Edison.
Excellent, my dear Colonel.
Jolly good play on words!
