Obama Argued Against Healthcare Mandate In 2008 In Debate With Clinton

In his own words- during a presidential debate in 2008 with Hillary Clinton in Ohio- then Senator Barack Obama argues against the healthcare mandate Clinton was pushing whereby individuals were to be fined for not purchasing insurance. This, as we know, is now part of Obama's Affordable Care Act.

Speaking of Clinton's mandate-which Obama claimed was the main difference between their healthcare plans:

"... she would force, in some fashion, individuals to purchase healthcare. If it was not affordable, she would still, presumably, force them to have it unless there is a hardship exemption as they have done in Massatusetts [sic]..."

Yes, he pronounced the "ch" in Massachusetts with a "t". And no, I'm not being petty, but the left skewered George W. Bush for mispronouncing nuclear, so fair is fair.

Obama's Lies and Failed Promises In His Own Words

I think I posted this before, but it warrants one last post. This is for all you independents and undecideds out there.

Obama's lies in his own words.

transparency, healthcare, taxes, fairness, energy and the national debt

Fail on all of these issues.

Obama's Epic Fail On His Campaign Promises, In His Own Words- Video

In his own words, with commentary from the media (oftentimes the mainstream), the video below shows us just how many times Barack Obama has lied about his various campaign promises, including:

Transparency
Healthcare security
Healthcare cost
Healthcare single payer system
Healthcare tax
Taxes
Fairness
Energy
National Debt

13 minutes long, it's worth every minute.

The video uses source material from WordsMatter2012, a website inspired by a 2008 Obama speech where he said "don't tell me words don't matter." Through his own words you get to decide if Obama has followed through with his promises or not.

In this video it's quite obvious.

"Will The Real Barack Obama Please Stand Up", Part Deux- Born In Kenya Bio Fiasco

Remember the TV show "To Tell The Truth" where one contestant and two imposters tried to convince a panel of celebrities that they were 'the' individual with the unusual occupation or experience? All 3 challengers claimed to be that same 'individual', the only caveat was that the imposters were allowed to lie whereas the real person  had "to tell the truth." After the panel decided who they thought was the actual 'person in question'  they were asked "Will the real (name) please stand up?"  Obama reminds me of that game, in as much as we don't know who the "real" Obama is.  It seems he has spent a lifetime pretending to be someone, and we really don't know who the 'real' Obama is.

In 2007, when he was stumping for president, I wrote a post entitled "Will the real Barack (Barry) Hussein Obama (Soetero) please stand up", there were so many fabrications and lies about his life, that I questioned who he was. Back then we had no clue, and we still don't. Did

I have never been a birther, but the latest news from Breitbart regarding a short 1991 promotional bio that states he was born in Kenya, is an eye-opener. Now I know these kinds of things can be easily photoshopped, Adobe is pretty darn amazing, but the information about his Kenyan birthplace was in a 2007 cached version of his agents' website. It was changed to 'born in Hawaii' 2 months before Obama announced his candidacy. Either he (or his reps) lied about being born in Kenya to make him more exotic and appealing, at the time, or he lied about not being born in Kenya, but either way, he's lied. About many things.

Not surprisingly, the mainstream media is now in full damage control mode saying that the agent "misidentified" his birthplace in 1991. It's highly unlikely that Obama was unaware for over 15 years that his reps were claiming he was born in Kenya, just as it is equally unlikely that he had no idea what Rev. Wright was preaching in that church all those years.

The Breitbart article brings up a few other questionable Obama issues.

I'm not sure we'll ever really know who the "real" Barack Hussein Obama is, since he will always be reinventing himself in some way or another.
