The whimsical aspect of this vid is that this poor bastard, by being put in the position of having to defend the Regime, can only possibly succeed in proving every word Senator Cornyn said.
See?
Republicans haven't been "rooting" for the failure of ObamaCare - we predicted it. It was inevitable, both because socialism does not and never has worked at anything except destroying liberty, freedom, and human lives, and because it was designed to fail, so as to facilitate....the destruction of liberty, freedom, and human lives. And since honesty and candor were never going to sell ObamaCare to the public, the Regime had to flagrantly lie about it. Deception was baked into that cake. And even then the public didn't buy it, which is why it had to be shoved down our throats anyway in the biggest orgy of corruption and tyranny in the history of the now-defunct Republic.
I don't know that I can agree with Senator Cornyn's assertion, however. I don't think O has lied more voluminously or shamelessly than Bill Clinton did back in the day. Nor has The One done so with anything approximating Sick Willie's prevaricating skill. Rather, it's the subjects of his lies that are separate and distinct from those of Mr. Bill. Clinton's lies were mostly about his own personal scandals; his attempt to nationalize health care failed and brought about a GOP Congress for the last three-quarters of his presidency, so he didn't have the opportunity to either (1) anger the public against him or (2) pursue any more grand statist expansions. Barack Obama has "accomplished" what even Hillary Clinton could only dream of, and in the process has caused grave, even terminal damage to the nation. Consequently, his are the lies not of a "lovable rogue," but of a totalitarian dictator for whom constant deception is the systemic coin of his tyrannical realm.
It is, in short, the stakes that are at a level never before seen in American history, as Andrew McCarthy summarized thusly over the weekend:
In real life, the guy who looks you in the eye and promises that “if you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan, period” can be expected to tell you, cross his heart, the Benghazi massacre was caused by an anti-Muslim video, and that everything possible was done to save Americans under siege. He can also be expected to run an administration that assures you, even as things fall apart, that the Muslim Brotherhood is a moderate, largely secular organization committed to democracy; that Obamacare is not a tax and will dramatically reduce your premiums while cutting spending; that we are experiencing the most transparent administration in history; that the criminally reckless Fast and Furious program was begun by the Bush administration; that the president has cut spending and debt even as he piles trillions more on our tab; that he has excluded lobbyists from policymaking jobs; or that an “interim agreement” that explicitly allows Iran to enrich uranium — and that anticipates a final accord establishing a permanent uranium “enrichment program” for Iran — somehow does not recognize an Iranian right to enrich uranium and so portend a revolutionary jihadist regime possessed of nuclear bombs.
Though never desirable, presidential fraud might be tolerable if this were 1995 again. But it is not — our times are grave. Unlike the days of the Clinton bender, the question is not how the president is going to survive another fine mess he’s gotten himself into. The question is how we are going to survive this president.
