Lying and Profiling

I found this article, and Kimberly Morin says it better than I could.

If you watched Obama’s 5th television conference last night (the same amount that Bush had over an 8 year period), you already know what a debacle the entire conference turned out to be. Not only did Obama not give any details about ‘his’ healthcare bill but he commented on a case that happened in Cambridge recently. As always the questions were selected ahead of time so that Obama’s minions could come up with the answers but who exactly made these up? It is apparent that whoever wrote the answers last night has absolutely no clue about healthcare OR the ‘racial profiling’ case in Cambridge.

Within the first few minutes of his speech Obama lied of course – quoting the false number of 47 million uninsured in this country. I will not go into further detail as I already spoke about this in my previous article but I had bets going as to how long it would take before he quoted some of the scare tactics that the liberals keep touting in order to get people to jump on the healthcare from hell bill. He also stated that “The overwhelming majority of Americans want health care, but millions of them can’t afford it. So the plan that has been — that I put forward and that what we’re seeing in Congress would cover — the estimates are — at least 97 percent to 98 percent of Americans. There might still be people left out there who, even though there’s an individual mandate, even though they are required to purchase health insurance, might still not get it or, despite a lot of subsidies, are still in such dire straits that it’s still hard for them to afford it and we may end up giving them some sort of hardship exemption.” He actually said Americans yet ‘his’ plan covers illegal aliens as well. His 47 million number that he quotes also include illegal aliens who, as we know, do not pay taxes. Does he not understand how Medicaid already works for those who are in ‘dire straits’?
