Obama Mounting Lies

How low will Obama go? Turns out he fabricated a story of how his late mother struggled with the health care system while she was battling cancer in an attempt to bolster Obamacare. The man knows no shame.

From an editorial in The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review:
The president of the United States has been caught in a lie. It's no small matter. And it should lead reasonable people to raise serious questions about the veracity of every word Barack Obama utters.

During the 2008 campaign, then-Sen. Obama said on more than one occasion that his late mother, Ann Dunham, waged a death-bed fight with her insurance company over whether the uterine and ovarian cancers that would claim her life were pre-existing conditions that disqualified her from medical coverage.

Mr. Obama employed the anecdote to press his case for health care reform. ObamaCare does not allow for such disqualifications for children under 19. The provision extends to adults in three years.

But a new book about Obama's mother by New York Times reporter Janny Scott refutes the president's story and uses his mother's own correspondence to do so. Ms. Dunham's health insurance covered most of her medical expenses and without argument. Only disability coverage, designed to replace lost wages, was denied and that by another carrier, Ms. Scott writes.
