The Audacity of Mendacity

What Obumbles said was…

No, what he said was very clear: “If you like your healthcare, you can keep your healthcare. Period.” Said it repeatedly, over and over again, just last year.

Until that lie was shown to be a lie. Now it’s being replaced by a new lie: “Now, if you have or had one of these plans before the Affordable Care Act came into law and you really liked that plan, what we said was you can keep it if it hasn’t changed since the law passed.”

Whatever that means…

This is the clown who supposedly wrote a 2008 campaign book called “The Audacity of Hope.” What he really meant to title the book was “The Audacity of Mendacity” because that is what he’s all about. Just one lie after another.

Meanwhile, his chief apologist, the NYTimes, is contorting itself to explain all this away. The narrative rules! Reality must not intervene. The first black president must not be shown to be a fraud. Even when he does it himself.

  1. But you have to agree, it’s fun to read these explanations.

  2. It hasn’t been fun yet. It’s too depressing that so much of the country favors fools such as him.

  3. “It’s too depressing that so much of the country favors fools such as him.”
    P. T. Barnum had something to say about this. What is depressing is the eventual reaction to this behaviour (violence, sometimes extreme) which we have avoided by and large in this country.

  4. I hesitate to even write what could happen in the next three years. I hope it doesn’t but it’s easy to see that it could. I’d much rather see him continue as he has and thereby undermine, if not absolutely destroy, his party’s future.
