Obama, the Great (Prevaricator)

I think it's safe to say that he's got chutzpah (which, come to think of it, means audacity). But is it also safe to say we've been snookered? 

So by now we all know he's a liar. But what we didn't know was the depth of his antipathy towards Americans. He really thinks he can stand there and say, no, what I really meant was . . . 

In case you Obama supporters still think he's some sort of a knight in shining armor, here's a montage of his promises, followed by yesterday's incredible charade

Note that the assurances ("if you like your health care plan, you can keep it") began as early as 2008 and were repeated again and again as recently as this year, even though the administration already had been warned two years ago that people would, in fact, lose their insurance policies.


 
It's clear he was lying. Yet instead of owning up to it, he has the nerve, the audacity, to stand in front of the cameras and say, basically, Hey you schmucks, here's what I really said:



"What we said was..." 

Oh really?

This is incredible on so many levels, not the least of which is the fact that the people who voted for him (this includes nearly everyone in my extended family) probably don't have a problem with this. 

We are schmucks*, we've been swindled but good, and if Obama fans haven't figured it out yet, eventually they will. Just today, in fact, Kathleen Sebelieus admitted to Congress that
"employer based insurance plans will also be cancelled as a result of grandfathering caveats and government requirements making plans illegal under Obamacare" (read entire article here).
So yes, it's safe to say, we've been screwed.

*Note: "schmuck" is Yiddish for "penis." I didn't know that, but in this case, I guess the metaphor works. He's the Grand Poobah of Schmucks, and he's screwed us all.
