Midknight Review -- new and revised: $700 million dollars later, and 4500 campaign events in just 30 days, all needed to make the goal of 7.1 enrollees - and now we are learning that number was a lie.

42 share

Free Beacon: President Barack Obama contended that the government did not “make a hard sell” for Obamacare, despite his administration spending nearly $700 million to promote the law.

“We didn’t make a hard sell,” Obama said in the Rose Garden on Tuesday, praising the 7.1 million sign ups for the Affordable Care Act. “We didn’t have billions of dollars of commercials like some critics did.”

*******

Editor's note: First, $700 million is a full court press, in anyone's book, especially when you couple that to 150 events (donated commercials, interviews, OFA and SEIU local and community canvasing, and all those stupid cartoons) advertising ObamaCare, every day for the 30 days before April Fools Day, the day ObamaCare sign-ups ended and the program officially began.

That's $700 million, and I'll wager the truth is closer to a billion dollars, money taxpayers had to shell out for this idiot's bill. Question: if "everyone" is so excited about this bill, why did they have to work so hard, coming up with the lie of "7.1 million ?"

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."

How much longer can you keep lying and ankle biting? Is that the way you want to be remembered ... a lying ankle biter?
Maybe its a pathological denial.
