On the recordNovember 17, 2014
In yesterday's Charleston Post and Courier, Charles Krauthammer points out the President's deceit when misrepresenting ObamaCare before shoving it through a Democratic Congress. According to the column, an ``October 2013 video has surfaced that shows MIT Professor Jonathan Gruber, a principal architect of ObamaCare, admitting that, in order to get it passed, the law was made deliberately obscure and deceptive. It constitutes the ultimate vindication of the charge that ObamaCare was sold on a pack of lies.'' As more is revealed about the truth behind the President's manipulation when passing ObamaCare, ``It's refreshing that `the most transparent administration in history' . . . should finally display candor about its signature act of social change. Inadvertently, of course. But now we know what lay behind Obama's smooth . . . arrogance . . . that rules in the name of the citizenry it mocks, disdains, and deliberately, contemptuously deceives.'' It is sad Democratic elitists believe their voters are stupid. In conclusion, God bless our troops. The President should take action to never forget September the 11th and the global war on terrorism. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair must remind all Members that remarks in debate may not engage in personalities toward the President. ____________________
