Obama lies in both domestic and foreign policy
If anyone is paying attention, it seems that President Barack Obama views lies as legitimate political tools. He uses lies strategically to accomplish through mendacity what he could never achieve through honest means.
Obama lies in both domestic and foreign policy. On the domestic front, despite Obama's repeated promises that ObamaCare would not threaten anyone's existing health insurance policies, over the past two weeks, millions of Americans have received notices from their health insurance companies that their policies have been cancelled because they don't abide by ObamaCare's requirements.
Last night on the Fox News Channel, several left wing contributors were saying that the couple of million who were losing their insurance, was only a drop in the bucket, compared to the "ten's of millions who would be better off with Obamacare. To that I say, "hog wash."
Joe Trippi, a long-time American Democratic campaign worker and consultant, along with Juan Williams a Panamanian-born American journalist and political analyst for Fox News Channel, both said it was a "mis-understanding of the American people; Obama didn't really lie, he was just mis-informed about the facts. And to this, I also say "hog wash".
I kinda felt sorry for Juan when he was let go from PBS, but the more I hear from him, the more stupid he sounds, and the darker "brown" his nose is becoming.
In several Wall Street Journal's articles I have read, the
editorial board explained that Obama's repetition of this lie was not an oversight. It was a deliberate means of lulling into complacency these Americans, who opted to buy their insurance themselves on the open market in order to stick them with the burden of underwriting ObamaCare.
In the editorialist's words, "The healthcare exchanges need these customers[whose private policies are being cancelled to pay for ObamaCare's balance sheet and stabilize its risk pools. On the exchanges, individuals earning more than $46,000 or a family of four above $94,000 don't qualify for subsidies and must buy overpriced insurance. If these middle-class ObamaCare losers can be forced into the exchanges, they become financiers of the new pay-as-you-go entitlement."
So, where is the "freedom to choose" your health care insurance.
Sure there is an outcry now about Obama's dishonesty and the way he has used lying to take away from an unwilling public a right they would never have knowingly surrendered, but it is too late at the present moment.
There is no chance of revoking the law until at 2017, when Obama leaves office. And by then, everyone will have been forced to accept what they consider unacceptable or be fined and lose all health coverage.
But, Obama's untruthfulness is not limited to domestic policy. He operates the same way in foreign affairs as well.
Several news agencies this week recalled Democratic Senator Robert Menendez's angry response to the Obama administration's attempt to block Senate passage of sanctions against Iran in December 2011. Expressing disgust at the administration's bad faith to the Senate, Menendez noted that before the White House tried to defeat the legislation it first forced senators to water it down, making them believe that the White House would support a weaker bill. In the end, despite the White House's opposition, the Senate and House passed the watered down sanctions bills with veto proof majorities. Obama reluctantly signed the bill into law and then bragged about having passed "crippling sanctions," on Iran.
As was the case with ObamaCare, the White House knows that most Americans won't support its policy of doing nothing to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. So the White House never says that this is its policy. Obama and his advisors insist that preventing Iran from becoming a nuclear power is a central goal of the administration. But their actions move US policy in the opposite direction. And if they get caught on the lies after Iran gets the bomb, well, Obama won't be facing reelection so he will pay no price for his duplicity.
The mendacity at the heart of Obama's political playbook is something that Israel needs to understand if it to survive his presidency without major damage to its strategic viability.
This past week should make it clear that the stakes in understanding and exposing Obama's game couldn't be higher.
For example, this past Sunday, Israel Today reported that PLO officials leaked to the media a position paper that Palestinian chief negotiator Saeb Erekat presented to Justice Minister Tzipi Livni outlining the PLO's position on a final peace settlement. In a nutshell, the paper requires Israel to destroy itself demographically, democratically, militarily, legally and politically and that it relinquish its water supply.
If Israel agrees to all these things, then six months down the road, the Palestinians will agree to sign a peace treaty with it.
The Palestinian document claims not only all of Judea and Samaria, (except for 1.9 percent of the territory that Israel can keep in exchange for money and more land within sovereign Israel), and eastern, northern and southern Jerusalem. It demands the northern Negev, the Huleh Valley, Latrun and the Elah Valley. And it demands them all free of all Jewish presence.
They demand that Israel relinquish its rights under international law to Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem by agreeing that they are "occupied."
They demand full control over the airspace over Judea, Samaria, Gaza, and Jerusalem, and the waters off the Gaza coastline. They demand an end of Air Force over flights of those areas.
They demand control over all the underground aquifers, and the electromagnetic spectrum.
Moreover, the Palestinians are demanding that Israel allow five million foreign born Arabs the right to freely immigrate to its remaining territory. They refuse to accept Israel's right to exist and claim they have sovereign rights over all of Israel.
This, my friend, is what Obama is agreeing to in "his" foreign policy.
We, as Americans, may not be able to stop him, Obama, and all his domestic and foreign policy rhetoric, but my Heavenly Father is going to intervene for Israel, and I believe that it may be very soon. God warns in His Word, "woo be unto those who try to divide My Land".
I personally would not want to be on that side of the fence, would you?
