because of Obamacare's medicaid expansion.

Obama’s claim that 7 million got ‘access to health care for the first time’ because of his Medicaid expansion

"In any case, no matter how you slice it, it does not add up to 7 million. It is dismaying that given all of the attention to this issue, the president apparently does not realize that the administration’s data are woefully inadequate for boastful assertions of this type."


He really is a shameless liar if nothing else.

From the linked article:


The Fact Checker has written several times about the fuzziness of the Medicaid numbers issued by the Obama administration. But it is like playing whack-a-mole. Every time we rap someone for getting it wrong, the same problem pops up someplace else.

But here is the ultimate authority — the president of the United States — making the problematic claim that everyone counted under the administration’s Medicaid math is getting “access to health care for the first time.”


Obama and his cohorts are simply putting to good use a rule explained by one of their ideological forebears, Josef Goebbels: "If you tell a big enough lie, often enough, people will believe it, and then it will become 'The Truth'."

A prime example of another lie by this cretin in his rush to proclaim himself emporer of the world.

Pure ego from the liar in chief at this point.

It must reach across the Atlantic by now if you add in the Fast & Furious, Bangassi

At least he goes for it when he lies.....no one or two Pinocchio's. When he lies he goes all out.

Maybe that is giving him too much credit. I think it comes naturally to him. It doesn't take any thought or effort.
