(NewsBusters) Imagine if a former Republican presidential candidate and U.S. Senator had called a current president a delusional liar who programs are wasteful–the dinosaur media would be all over that story. Such a person would be interviewed on MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS and NBC, the media buzz would be red hot for days and this topic analyzed over and over, extending into weeks.
There is such a person but because he is a Democrat saying these things about President Obama, the media is all but silent.
It likewise should be no surprise that Kerrey’s criticism’s of Obama appeared in the Daily Mail in Great Britain and not in the United States where the shunning has already begun.
Former Nebraska Sen Bob Kerrey said that Obama isn’t up to the job of bringing Liberals and Conservatives to the table–likewise Obama knew that he was lying when he promised the ACA would allow Americans to keep the health insurance plans they liked.
“He (Obama) had to know that he was misleading the audience,” Kerrey said quietly recalling the newly minted president’s countless promises as Congress and the public debated his signature health insurance overall. “On the other hand, he may have said it so many times,” Kerrey added, “that the spell-checker, the fact-checker–somebody who says ‘Excuse me Mr President but I hope you know this…’
The worst lie Democrats told about ObamaCare Kerrey reasoned, “is not, ‘if you want to keep your health care plan…’ the worst one is, everybody deserves high-quality, affordable health care.”
Another of Obama’s failings according to Kerrey, is an inflated sense of Americans appetite for programs to correct what the White House calls “income inequality” through new taxes and other income shifting initiatives. Obama’s reelection 17 months ago wasn’t a mandate to conduct class warfare–later calling Obama “self delusional.”
