When I listen to Obama as he continues his never-ending campaign to sell ObamaCare to the American people, I can’t help but feel like I’ve entered an alternate universe where reality does not matter and brainwashing is welcomed with open arms. Obama’s prime target audience should disturb people as much as his message. He tends to prey upon a young audience of low information voters encouraging them to sell their parents on his lies as fact.
Obama’s target audience today was at a community college in Largo, MD. As is typical with him, the speech was filled with partisan attacks, snide comments about the right, and another attack of FOX News accusing them of spreading lies. The speech and its delivery were not just unpresidential, they were not even based on truth. But, one thing we have come to expect with Obama is this – the truth does not matter. Simply rattle off your lies in a mocking tone, getting the audience to laugh and clap at your antics, and the focus will be on what a ‘cool guy’ you are, not whether or not what you’re saying is true.
As we have seen many times during the Obama presidency, his audience will laugh and clap like sheep being led to a slaughter. They will accept as truth the words that he says despite any evidence to the contrary. After all, such evidence is, as he has begun to say lately, an attempt to ‘mess with him’.
During his speech to these young skulls full of mush, as Rush Limbaugh describes the young, impressionable mind, Obama made such a blatantly false lie that it even shocked me and I’m accustomed to hearing him lie. He claimed that there is no widespread evidence that Obamacare is hurting jobs. Seriously?
Over the last year, we have heard story after story of businesses cutting worker hours to 29 hours or less a week in order to escape the employer mandate that requires businesses with 50 or more full-time employees to provide health care. Regal Entertainment, Land’s End, Trader Joe’s, and Wal-Mart offer just a small example of larger companies who have begun to cut hours to avoid the employer mandate. Smaller companies have taken similar moves as the train wreck of Obamacare looms. This week, there have been countless stories of universities and school districts that are cutting the hours of staffers. These business and more are documented in a report by Investor’s Business Daily. In addition, Senator Ted Cruz, during his epic nearly 21 hour and 20 minute filibuster, brought to the limelight the letter from the Teamsters president to top Democrats that detailed the tremendous negative impact that Obamacare will have on their workers.
That letter from the Teamsters opened up with a clear and scathing statement regarding the impact of Obamacare.
When you and the President sought our support for the Affordable Care Act (ACA), you pledged that if we liked the health plans we have now, we could keep them. Sadly, that promise is under threat. Right now, unless you and the Obama Administration enact an equitable fix, the ACA will shatter not only our hard-earned health benefits, but destroy the foundation of the 40 hour work week that is the backbone of the American middle class.
The facts don’t lie, even though Obama does. He cannot escape the realities of his ‘signature legislation’. It is a train wreck. It is a direct assault on our freedom. It is poorly crafted piece of legislation that was deemed ‘constitutional’ by an activist Supreme Court after the judges changed language to ‘make it legal’, something that they cannot do.
The Orwellian act of accepting lies as truths because it makes you feel good. Is that what this country has come to? That’s what happens when you pass a bill to see what’s in it. That’s what happens when you allow yourself to be lied to by the president. That’s what happens when you elevate a man to a godlike status, excusing away any and all falsehoods of his rhetoric. You get a people suckered into lies who simultaneously cheer for tyranny.
