Obama Denies Gruber, but Facts Deny Obama
Last week, most Americans were shocked when MIT Professor Jonathan Gruber — well known as the chief architect of Obamacare — said he and others purposely lied to the American people about the coming effects of the healthcare law.
Gruber also said that the American people were too “stupid” to understand the new law so it was necessary to lie to them. Ho hum!
Now enter President Obama. He said Gruber really didn’t have much to do with the Affordable Care Act. That he was a minor player. But records reveal Gruber visited the White House 19 time and, others report, on one occasion he met with the President in the Oval Office for several hours.
Financial records also reveal that the Obama Administration and several states paid him a total of almost $6 million dollars for his work on Obamacare.
That’s a pretty good salary for a minor player.
“America’s Preacher” — A Word for the American People
CNS News quoted America’s beloved evangelist, the Reverend Billy Graham, saying our children in this land are growing up in a “lawless and wicked age” that is filled with the “philosophy of the devil, who says, ‘Do as you please."”
According to Reverend Graham, rearing children in today’s culture is difficult because “we have taken God out of our educational systems and thought we could get away with it. We have sown the wind, and we are now reaping the whirlwind. We have laughed at God, religion and the Bible.”
“Many Christian parents are becoming fearful that they cannot properly train their children in this lawless and wicked age…” he said. “We are beginning to reap what has been sown for the past generation.”
Reverend Graham also pointed out that, “Many of our educational leaders sneer at the old-fashioned idea of God and a moral code. Movies feature sex, sin, crime and alcohol…Newspapers have played up crime and sex until they seem glamorous to young people.”
Reverend Graham said one of the fundamental problems is the failure of parents to fight “the devil in the home” through discipline and, as a result, “children are allowed to go wild.”
Big Mess in Social Security Disability Payments
There were $2 billion in Social Security disability claims approved by mistake in 2013, according to the U. S. Inspector General.
Newsmax reported “A small group of Social Security judges have improperly approved disability claims for nearly 25,000 people who didn’t qualify, costing taxpayers $2 billion over the past seven years…”. The price tag will grow by nearly $300 million next year because many of these people are still getting benefits…”
Investigators began their probe when they noticed that some judges were approving 85 percent of the claims.
Republican Representative Darrell Issa of California said “The Social Security Administration’s failure to conduct timely medical eligibility reviews has resulted in rubber-stamped decisions that have and will continue to cost taxpayers billions in improper rewards. In failing to take meaningful disciplinary action at the Social Security Administration on even the most egregious cases of mismanagement, taxpayers are left to wonder who is looking after their tax dollars.”
Al Sharpton! Is There No Shame?
Reverend Al Sharpton, this country’s best-known race hustler who has preached racism and violence over the shooting of a black teenager in Ferguson, Missouri, is also a friend and confidant of President Obama. Some insiders say Sharpton hand-picked Loretta Lynch to succeed retiring Eric Holder as U. S. Attorney General.
Now it comes to light that Sharpton has a lot of shady dealings for which he has not been held accountable.
The New York Times reported “Mr. Sharpton has regularly sidestepped the sorts of obligations most people see as inevitable, like taxes, rent and other bills. Records…show more than $4.5 million in current state and federal tax liens against him…”
According to the Times, Sharpton’s National Action Network appears to have been financed by not paying federal payroll taxes to its employees.
The Times said “Mr. Sharpton and the National Action Network have repeatedly failed to pay travel agencies, hotels and landlords.”
But Sharpton recently held a press conference where he denied that he owed the money.
Comment: Mr. Sharpton criticizes others for various reasons. Yet he has a lot of skeletons in his own closet. The Bible has a word for that.
President Obama’s Amnesty: Formula for Chaos
President Obama granted amnesty to some five million illegal aliens Thursday night.
In so doing, he became the Lone Ranger, violated the Constitution, and went against the will of the majority of the American people. The Constitution grants all matters concerning immigration to the Congress.
Erudite Washington Times columnist Wesley Pruden said this may be good news for the illegals in this land but “it’s not good news for anyone who appreciates law and order on the border.”
Pruden said the President’s action is like a golden ticket to millions of others in Mexico, and in Central and South America. “Come on in, I’ll find a way to make you legal later,” is the message the President sent to millions of others who want to come to the United States.
Pruden said “But all his declaration of amnesty will do is guarantee that “hell on the border will continue, probably get worse.”
Comment: As I watched the President’s amnesty declaration Thursday evening, as always, he was smooth as silk as he tried to build his case for the action he was taking.
But what he didn’t say was more important than what he said. And, a couple of times, he really stretched the truth as he often does.
For instance, he said deportations of illegals are down lower than they have been in years.
Of course they are! He ordered the Department of Homeland Security to stop most deportations.
Also, he said that there are not as many aliens crossing into this land as in earlier years.
But Mr. President, what about the 68 million children? And what about reports from the Border Patrol agents that the influx of aliens is increasing so fast they can hardly control the border any longer?
Commentary
Why Did He Do It?
Recently Peggy Noonan, veteran columnist for the Wall Street Journal, noted that President Obama is the loneliest president since Richard Nixon.
Noonan wrote in her column “The Republicans don’t like him…The Democrats don’t like him, for their own reasons plus the election loss…Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid …clearly doesn’t like him at all.”
Noonan is certainly correct since President Obama has made more enemies — and fewer friends — than any President in recent history.
He betrayed the Eastern Europeans when he removed the missile shield that protected them from Russia’s missiles. He infuriated the Israelis by siding with the Palestinians. Some in his administration compared Israel to an apartheid nation like the former South Africa.
China pulled the wool over his eyes in a climate change agreement whereby the American people are expected to do everything. But the Chinese do nothing until 2030.
He abandoned this country’s hard-won victory in Iraq by going against all of his military advisors as he removed all troops from that land.
He promised to intervene in the mass killing Syrians by Syrian President Assad, then backed out.
Interestingly, from the beginning of his presidency, he reached out to the Muslim nations and now they make fun of him.
Noonan pointed out that in the Beijing summit last week “there was no sign the leaders of the world had any particular regard for him.”
Then, the November 4 election. All of his policies were firmly rejected by the voters as they handed both houses of Congress over to the Republicans. His supporters basically didn’t even have enough confidence in him to turn out to vote.
Not one single democrat running for the U.S. Senate campaigned on Obama’s record, Obamacare or amnesty for millions of aliens in this land.
Also, Obamacare is becoming more and more unpopular each day with the American people. The final nail in the Obamacare coffin was when Jonathan Gruber, chief architect of the law, said it was necessary to lie to the American people to get the law passed because the voters are too “stupid” to understand it.
When he was running for President, Obama told the American people he planned to do three things: redistribute the wealth, pass nationalized healthcare and completely transform America.
What he didn’t understand was that the American people didn’t want the nation transformed at least not into his image of what America should be. Neither did they want him to destroy the best health care system in the world.
It took the people six years to grasp the immensity of what he was trying to do. But they finally understood on November 4.
Hence, the President realizes that, to some degree, he is no longer relevant. And, with his larger-than-life self image, he had to get back in the news. Amnesty seemed to be a partial answer for him. But what will he do next?
