This is one of the current Democrat talking points when
confronted with Obama’s bald-faced lies about the Affordable Care Act, aka
ObamaCare.
So when he said that you could keep your plan, keep your
doctor, and everybody’s premiums would go down it’s now okay for Democrats to
acknowledge that he lied. Proudly.
For a while, his supporters tried to cover up Obama’s lies with
a technicality. They claimed he didn’t actually
lie because no one ever told him that wasn’t the truth. That’s the same approach they’ve used about
the IRS, Fast & Furious, and Benghazi – nobody told Obama what was really
going on.
Really? That’s like
when the White House press office claimed years ago Obama never met his Kenyan uncle here
illegally. Now they claim they put out
that info without ever asking Obama, who more recently said he stayed with that uncle for a
while when he was at Harvard. Oops …
That’s just so Nixonesque.
This all takes “plausible deniability” to a whole new level.
However, there are ample reports that his administration
knew early on in Obama’s first term that none of his promises about ObamaCare
were true. He had to know as well, but
that didn’t stop him from repeating them at every opportunity.
Democrats now have a new approach – of course he lied, but
it doesn’t matter because all politicians lie.
Besides, telling lies to pass the ACA and to get re-elected should be
viewed in the context of doing what’s right for America. And in that bigger picture – and for the greater good –Obama did the
right thing by lying.
I’ll admit this new tactic caught me off guard. It’s so outrageous it’s brilliant. It taps into our popular culture where
there’s no right or wrong, no taboos, and no shame. It’s the ultimate expression of the ends
justifying the means – the bedrock of Progressivism.
I thought I’d seen it all when the Prevaricator in Chief –
Bill Clinton – said: “It depends on what
the meaning of the word ‘is’ is… “
But this is new ground.
It’s exciting and breathtaking. Politicians
can now lie as enthusiastically as Obama, because everyone knows they lie
anyway, so you can’t hold them accountable.
It’s open season on the truth. You don’t need to tell the truth anymore,
once you establish that others like you can’t be trusted. You’re innocent by association; a first.
In the end, what’s the big deal? Who are we to judge someone else? Saying
whether something is right or wrong, or the truth or a lie, is so … well … judgmental.
And since this is about Obama, it’s probably racist, too. Wait for that shoe to drop …
What’s wrong with making promises you know can’t be kept? Breaking or not enforcing laws you don’t
agree with? Not honoring agreements? Tossing your allies under the bus?
It’s just politics.
And all politicians lie. So
what?
