In an earlier thread, I commented on how WH flack Ben Rhodes admitted he and his brethren lied to reporters constantly about the treaty with Iran.  That's just the tip of the iceberg.  Now, ex-WH speech writers admit they lied about Obamacare and find it hilarious.  To Democrats, your health and your life are a joke.  Recent statistics reveal that there are 24 million more without healthcare insurance than before Obamacare started. 

Usually,  these idiots wait until the administration is over to write their tell all books. 

"Former Obama speechwriters laugh at 'you can keep your plan' promise

Charlie Rose and a trio of former Obama speechwriters laughed it up this week at the mention of the president's infamous promise that that under the Affordable Care Act, "if you like your healthcare plan, you can keep your healthcare plan."

The moment occurred during the Monday edition of "Charlie Rose: The Week," as the host and former speechwriters Jon Lovett, Jon Favreau and David Litt discussed the president's writing abilities and his gift for oration.

Lovett mentioned that he was most proud of the president's more serious speeches on the economy and healthcare, and that's when Favreau ribbed him for the "you can keep your plan" line. 

"My point is, do you have equal impact on serious speeches? Because it's about style, use of language, etc.?" Rose asked.

"I really like, I was very — the joke speeches is the most fun part of this. But the things I'm the most proud of were the most serious speeches, I think. Healthcare, economic speeches," said Lovett.

Favreau interjected, "Lovett wrote the line about, 'If you like your insurance, you can keep it.'"

"How dare you!" Lovett joked back.

The panel laughed and laughed. 

"And you know what?" Lovett added later. "It's still true!"

An estimated 4.7 million people were told in the fall of 2013 that their health insurance plans would be cancelled for noncompliance with the recently enacted federal healthcare law, according to the Associated Press.

The Obama administration reportedly knew in 2010 that 50-75 percent of the 14 million people in the United States who buy their insurance individually would probably receive cancellation letters, NBC News reported at the time."

TRUTH -- THE NEW HATE SPEECH!

Where is that thread? Is it this one?

==============================

 

A bombshell exploded this past weekend with the White House at the epicenter. And while the repercussions should have been felt throughout America, most observers merely shrugged. The president’s deputy national security advisor, Ben Rhodes, lied to the nation repeatedly about negotiations with the Iranians over the nuclear deal. The administration told Congress and the American people that the nuclear deal was essential because it was a vehicle for Iranian moderates—whom the Obama team was supposedly negotiating with—to drive Iranian policy.

There were no Iranian moderates—certainly not in power or in discussions with John Kerry’s team. Rather, the narrative was a creation of Mr. Rhodes, who always fancied himself a novelist.

Mr. Rhodes no doubt thought himself oh-so-clever in his Times profile; he probably saw it as a job audition.

A lengthy profile of Mr. Rhodes appeared in Sunday’s New York Times Magazine. In it, Mr. Rhodes admitted to—no, he bragged about—creating a phony narrative to sell an unpopular policy initiative, and then co-opting the foreign policy establishment (which he termed the “blob”) to sell it for him. The unwitting targets—which were to become Mr. Rhodes’ “echo chamber”—included The New York Times, The Washington Post, The New Yorker,” former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration’s first secretary of defense, Robert Gates.

Mr. Rhodes told the Times that the administration constructed a phony timeline to con Americans into believing the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action was the result of “moderate” Hassan Rouhani’s election. Mr. Rouhani was no moderate. The CIA knew it; and some members of Mr. Kerry’s team knew it. But the Iranian election was painted as a contest between moderates and hard-liners. In reality, according to Mark Dubowitz of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, it was between “hardliners and hard-hardliners.”

As soon as the deal was signed and previously frozen funds began to flow to the regime, the Iranians proceeded to behave as they have always behaved: they ramped up missile tests, denied inspectors access to sites supposedly covered by the agreement, seized American sailors on the high seas, and couldn’t find a buyer for the heavy water they were required to dispose of. So they asked the U.S. to pay for it—rather than just destroy it.

It is one thing to bluff when negotiating with the opposition. It is quite another to mislead the Congress and the American people. JCPOA was approved by the slimmest of margins—it would never have been approved if submitted as a treaty as it should have been—and that approval was based on fraudulent misrepresentation by the Obama administration.

Mr. Rhodes no doubt thought himself oh-so-clever in his Times profile; he probably saw it as a job audition. Congress should hold hearings on the deception and Mr. Rhodes should be required to testify.

The Iranians continue to hedge, skirt and demand more for complying with the agreement. We need to stop throwing away good money, and stop sacrificing our, and our allies’ security for the chimera of an empty deal.

Every American conservative knew they were lying from
the start. The whole thing read like a saul alinsky rules for
liberals and other brain dead everyday extremist radicals.
 
No POTUS would never or even come close to the
treasonous anti American, worm like, raghead mobumer
 the defiler with his acts of war against this country.
 
And why not, he's been allowed to do just that by the
equally un-American thug trash that voted him in
and knew he wasn't a member of this country.
