Piers Morgan once said "a lot of things are just perfect about Barack Obama," but now the President is in the liberal CNN host's doghouse. According to Morgan's repeated comments on his Friday night show, the President's credibility had been completely shredded.
"I find it very difficult, this ObamaCare thing. When I see the repeated footage of him standing there saying, you can keep your doctor, you can keep your plan, just telling it outright porky pie to the American public, I don't like it. It's not the Barack Obama that I expected," Morgan lamented. [Video below the break.]
The liberal CNN host argued to Democratic guest Howard Dean that Obama's lies were repeated and premeditated:
"It wasn't, Howard Dean, like he just said it once and it was a slip of the tongue, he said it repeatedly. He went on and on and on and on telling the American people, 'you can keep your plan, you can keep your doctor.' He must have known that neither of those things was true and he must have known the reason he was selling it was to sell his program."
Obama's "credibility problem" is undermining his campaign message of transparency, hope, and change, Morgan added:
"Here is the problem. It's the President's credibility. You know, when I watch the video mashup of him just saying endlessly to the American people two complete falsehoods, it is very damaging because you want to believe that guy, that's why he got elected."
Later in Friday's program, Morgan ripped the ObamaCare rollout: "I'm not happy with him, alright? Because I think this ObamaCare thing has been an unmitigated disaster."
And Morgan insisted that he is "very, very angry":
"But you can be like me on this, though, Harvey. You can you be supportive of the principle of ObamaCare, which I am. Coming from a country that has universal healthcare for all. You can support that but you can also be irritated by the rollout failing because it may kibosh the whole thing. But you can also be very, very angry that the President lied.
They “support” feeling good about themselves as “good people” because the advocate for “the poor” getting healthcare for free.
To a sheeperal, the self-righteousness is the key goal. It doesn’t matter one whit whether the policy will work or not.
ditto
““Piers is a disaster.”
He’s a racist.”
Ding ding ding...winner winner tofu chicken dinner.
libtards always get mad when socialism fails. But they blame it on incompetent people. It is never the fault of socialism itself. They always say socialism will work great if only it were done right.They are stuck on stupid.
Piers must be racist!
Methinks Piers might be going radio-rental.
Well, yeaaaaah... We knew that, what, five years ago?
So again, why is he so smart, and we're so dumb?
Ping for later uproarious laughter.
Hmmmmm....he must have got his health care insurance cancelation notice.
This won’t last.
Believe me, Morgan will get right back on the bandwagon and double down on trying to pull Obama’s chestnuts out of the fire.
Would his advertisers keep sponsoring him if his ratings fell in the dumpster?
If given the option, even knowing what he knows now, Morgan would happily vote for Obama over Romney.
The left must detach itself from AHA, and Obama, for the 2014 elections.
All that bad stuff has to stick to the lame duck, not a dem who voted for it.
sounds like he’s just angry that the Liar is giving Obamacare and socialized medicine a bad name.
This foreigner who helped get him elected now suddenly wakes up? Screw him
‘be supportive of the principle of ObamaCare’
that was the hook, to emotionally agree with some “noble” principle; Well we too want reasonable care for the unfortunates amongst us; everyone does, within the constraints of the Laws of Physics and the Laws of Biology and the Laws of Econ 101!
They are starting to get it, that the IDEA of ObamaCare has nothing whatsoever to do with its actual implementation! For the ideals that they demanded, could not be implemented, not by them, not by anyone.
Because the progressive ideal could NOT be implemented, it runs straight into the real constraints of REALITY.
STILL O and his shills lied to pretend it would be otherwise.
It was, cannot be, otherwise. Ideals cannot over the rules of Reality.
We have foreign broadcasters and celeberaties commenting on our national course that have no concept of our history, culture and system of government.
Piers Morgan didn't know Barack was lying -- how stupid does he claim to be.
It’s a bitch-kitty when you find your god has feet of clay, isn’t it Piers?
