Merry Christmas: a (partial) list of Obamacare taxes, fees

Starting in 2014, President Barack Obama’s health care law will expand coverage to some 30 million uninsured people. At the same time, insurers no longer will be allowed to turn away those in poor health, and virtually every American will be required to have health insurance — through an employer or a government program or by buying it on their own.

For the vast majority of people, the health care law won’t mean sending more money to the Internal Revenue Service. But the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans will take the biggest hit, starting next year.

And roughly 20 million people eventually will benefit from tax credits that start in 2014 to help them pay insurance premiums.

Audacious: Obama fabricates story about Inouye

When President Barack Obama spoke at the funeral of Sen. Daniel Inouye, the Democrat and World War II hero who had represented Hawaii, he audaciously told a tale about when Inouye first inspired him that directly contradicted another fib from his memoir, Dreams From My Father.

In essence, Obama fibbed about watching the Watergate hearings with his mother in his composite memoir. And then used the false–and debunked–timeline from his memoir to conveniently tell another tall tale about when Inouye inspired him.

And Obama did this as he was honoring Inouye at his funeral.

And the biggest lie of 2012 is …

Information surrounding the Sept. 11 attacks against the U.S. mission in Benghazi has been so distorted by the Obama administration and so misreported by the news media that the issue was selected as WND’s “Biggest Lie of the Year.”

Immediately following the attacks, President Obama and other White House officials notoriously blamed supposed anti-American sentiment leading to the violent events on an obscure anti-Muhammad video on YouTube they claimed was responsible for supposedly popular civilian protests that they said took place outside the U.S. mission in Benghazi – protests, they claimed, that devolved into a jihadist onslaught.

However, vivid accounts provided by the State Department and intelligence officials later made clear no such popular demonstration took place. Instead, video footage from Benghazi reportedly shows an organized group of armed men attacking the compound, the officials said.

Media coverage of the events has been so dismal that even the most basic understanding of what happened is being distorted. The vast majority of all news media coverage worldwide refer to the U.S. facility that was attacked as a “consulate,” even though the government itself has been careful to call it a “mission.”

On our national debt

As our debt climbs, the anxiety climbs and the options to solve our fiscal crisis shrink. The nation has watched the Executive and Legislative branch become more and more dysfunctional in the past 20 years, now it is reaching a fever pitch.  The frustration across the country matches the frustration in Washington.

What we are experiencing as a nation is similar to what a marriage experiences when the couple is heavily in debt.  Millions of marriages fail because the husband and wife constantly fight over money.  Without question, a marriage is more likely to succeed when the family is not in debt.
