Hi. I’m Wayne Allyn Root for Personal Liberty. Let me read you the definition of “fraud” straight from the dictionary:
Fraud:
Act or course of deception, an intentional concealment, omission, or
perversion of truth… Willful fraud is a criminal offense which calls for
severe penalties, and its prosecution and punishment (like that of a
murder) is not bound by the statute of limitations.
Now let’s take a look at how Obamacare was sold. Almost one year ago, I asked right here at Personal Liberty:
“Is President Obama Too Big to Jail?”
I was referring primarily to the crime of fraud and misrepresentation used by Obama and his socialist cabal to sell Obamacare.
Right here
at Personal Liberty months ago, I compared the fraud and deception used
by Obama to sell Obamacare to the fraud committed by TV infomercial
scam-artist Kevin Trudeau. I suggested Obama committed the crime of
consumer fraud.
Trudeau was convicted earlier this year for using
lies and misrepresentation to sell his products on television. The U.S.
government rightfully claimed Trudeau couldn’t have sold his product (a
book about weight loss) without lying to consumers. The government
claimed without Trudeau’s lies, deception and misrepresentation, no one
would have bought his book. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison. I
said at the time this was
exactly how Obamacare was sold.
Lo
and behold, we now have proof that Obamacare was sold by Obama and his
socialist cabal with the same kind of lies, fraud and misrepresentation
used by Trudeau. The words of none other than
Jonathan Gruber, the MIT professor and architect of Obamacare, have come back to haunt the Obama administration (clear as a bell on video).
I’m
no lawyer (although I play one on TV), but it’s clear the selling of
Obamacare was built on fraud. Gruber admits (actually brags) that
Obamacare could never have passed if the American people knew what was
in it.
Gruber brags that the bill was saved by a “lack of transparency.” Isn’t that a nice way of saying lying?
He calls American voters “stupid.” Isn’t that what con men like Trudeau and Bernie Madoff think of their victims?
He
then admits the bill was written in a “tortured way” to hide the truth:
that Obamacare was always designed as a big, fat tax to redistribute
money. He says if the Congressional Budget Office “scored it” as a tax,
it could never have passed into law. If a businessman says something in a
tortured way to hide the truth, that’s the definition of fraud. Period.
Gruber doesn’t
mention the biggest whopper of all: “If you like your insurance you can
keep it.”
Obama told this lie while his own internal White House
reports showed that up to 93 million Americans would lose their
insurance because of Obamacare. Yet Obama kept repeating that famous
line to the media and at speeches and rallies across the country. Isn’t
that the very definition of fraud? Obama lied to sell Obamacare to
“stupid American voters.”
