Despite our political and philosophical differences, one of the most touching and humanizing aspects of Barack Obama was his mother’s tragic death of uterine and ovarian cancer in 1995. Obama frequently stated his self-employed mother spent her last days frantic, desperately trying to assure the insurance industry would not deny her coverage, instead of resting and preparing to meet her Maker (Whom she apparently did not believe in). As it turns out, the entire story was, at best, greatly exaggerated and at worst calculated fabrication. Unlike so many of the president’s scandals, this lie has been reported not simply in conservative outlets like The Washington Examiner and The Blaze but in major Establishment media sources like Politico, and the New York Times.
Candidate Obama took little shame in cashing in on his dead mother’s lingering illness on the campaign trail. Byron York collected a few examples:
“I remember in the last month of her life, she wasn’t thinking about how to get well, she wasn’t thinking about coming to terms with her own mortality, she was thinking about whether or not insurance was going to cover the medical bills and whether our family would be bankrupt as a consequence,” Obama said in September 2007.
“She was in her hospital room looking at insurance forms because the insurance company said that maybe she had a pre-existing condition and maybe they wouldn’t have to reimburse her for her medical bills,” Obama added in January 2008.
“The insurance companies were saying, ‘Maybe there’s a pre-existing condition and we don’t have to pay your medical bills,’” Obama said in a debate with Republican opponent Sen. John McCain in October 2008.
It turns out, like much of what Obama says, this is a lie. The truth is embedded in New York Times reporter Janny Scott’s glowing biography of Stanley Ann Dunham entitled, A Singular Woman: The Untold Story of Barack Obama’s Mother.
In fact, in the months before her death Dunham worked for Development Alternatives, itself under contract to the Indonesian government, which furnished her with health insurance, a housing allowance, and transportation. After an appendectomy failed to relieve her pain, she decided to fly from Jakarta, Indonesia, first to New York’s Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center then to Honolulu for treatment. Her boss told her: “You’ve got health insurance, that’s taken care of. We can cover the airfare.” Scott writes, “the hospital billed her insurance company directly, leaving Ann to pay only the deductible and any uncovered expenses, which, she said, came to several hundred dollars a month.”
However, CIGNA refused her claim for disability insurance to cover her deductible and the remainder of her medical bills and living costs, arguing she had a pre-existing condition when she took the job in Indonesia.
When confronted, Obama spokesman Nick Papas repeated the misleading claim that Dunham “was refused coverage.”
If the remaining health bills covered “several hundred dollars a month,” it seems unlikely his mother was wondering “whether our family would be bankrupt as a consequence.” It is shameless enough to exploit one’s dead mother for political gain; it is worse yet to lie about her in the process.
Obama lied about his mother’s insurance coverage to create support for ObamaCare, cashing in on the sympathy of those who thought if America had socialized medicine, perhaps she would have been saved. Obama has now been caught — three years after the fact. If the media had done their job during the 2008 campaign instead of leading a cheering section for his historic election, perhaps it would have caught a hefty number of additional lies in the process. To this day, their support for his radical policies render them incapable of double-checking his assertions or verifying his claims.
This sorry spectacle raises two questions: What is Obama lying about now, and how long will the media be able to cover it up for him?
How many more lies does this man have to be caught in before the people of this great nation see him for what he is? He has no shame! Someboby in the House, PLEASE grow the gonads to start impeachment proceedings!
I am with you!!!!! Why in the heck is he still there???? C’mon!!!
The Mystery is….How and Why an Intelligent Nation Reach This Point ? A Nation that thrives on Higher Intellect in the Main Stream Media. And Now, this M.S.M. will be Considered NO more than a Webb of Fiction ! How much, in this Period of American History, will now be Considered Nothing More than “Cover My Ass” mentality !!
Because the government has been systematically dumbing down its citizens for decades, that why.
I can not believe that it’s come to this. This country is in ruins and anyone who can’t see that needs to look again.
Someone needs to put this Fraudulent BASTARD out of his misery!!!

Someone needs to put this fraudulent bastard (literally a bastard since his parents were never legally married) out of OUR misery.
very well said…thank you, wish all the people would just understand, the s.o.b. is just jerking us around…
I would not doubt that Obama is a pathological liar. He is truth challenged. His presence in the White House is one of the greatest deceptions ever. There is no need to give this charlatan any benefit of any doubt. He has now made it clear with his latest forged “birth certificate.”
Also take note that no one in the mainstream media asked him what KIND of communities he ‘organized’. Something wicked this way comes……
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck…this man is an abomination on the face of this great nation.
I WONDER IF THE SLEEZY SENATORS AND PEPOSTEROUS PEOPLE IN THE HOUSE HAS THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THEIR JOB IF THIS INFIDEL GETS THE POSITION HE WANTS (DICTATOR). WE ARE PAYING THEM HUGH AMOUNTS OF MONEY TO DO A JOB THEY ARE NOT DOING (IMPEACHING THIS IDIOT) AND HE CERTAINLY IS NOT GOING TO NEED THEM. IF THEY WOULD GET THEIR HEADS OUT OF THE SAND AND LOOK AND CHECK AROUND, HE HAS HIS CABINET ALREADY PICKED. HE IS UNAMERICAN, THAT IS PLAIN TO SEE, AND HIS LIES ARE UNFORGIVEABLE. HE NEEDS TO BE OUT OF AMERICA PERIOD.
Maybe it hasn’t occurred to anyone that Obama does not have one drop of African blood in his veins. If Barack Obama Sr, was his biological father he would have had at least one feature of resemblance. There is not one because Obama’s mother didn’t know who the father was of her child. Take a picture of the Pres. of Indonesia and place a picture of Obama along side and you will two men who could pass for father and son. Barack Hussein Obama is incapable of telling the truth. He only knows to lie, and continue to commit one crime after another. Obama is guilty of: fraud, corruption, ‘Treason’, ‘Sedition’, lying to Congress and the American people, refusing to produce any legal documents which would prove where he came from, making laws, which only Congress can do, etc; Obama is a criminal and must be arrested and brought to answer for his crimes. America has never been a Communist Nation, but this Narcissist hates America with a vengenience and is doing everything in his evil mind to completely destroy what we the people hold dear. Obama is determine to stay in power for the rest of his life, just like Chavez, Castro,etc. You will never be able to remove this evil dictator because the House and Senate are a bunch of cowards afraid of this cry baby bully who wouldn’t know how to run a hot dog stand. If Obama doesn’t get his way, he runs away and cries like the coward he is. Stop letting this dictator get away with breaking the law.
No President in the History of these United States of America would have been allowed to break the law, like this dictator has, and have gotten away with it. Nixon and Clinton never committed ‘Treason”, Obama continues to commit “Treason” and the worse crime of all
“Sedition”. Either arrest him, or America will be no more.
Obama is the POTUS because he won the vote for that position. You may not like it but it’s a fact.
I redict he’ll be elected also.
Dee
Dee… The “I redict he’ll be re-elected also” is clever If obama is re-elected we will get “RE-Dicked” alright!
Screw me once, but not twice!
Obama is an illegal and he should be kicked out of office and shipped back to Kenya.He can take all his Muslim lies with him.He probably will get reelected when he gives amnesty to all his illegal brothers so that they will vote for him.I think the problem is that he is black and the welfare scammers will riot and further destroy this country if he does get impeached.It would probably be considered “racist”.
Chuck if the welfare scammers do as they have in the past, then let it happen. They usually burn their own homes cars and loot their own “hood” and that is fine by me. Because they know the working class have the police and guns on to protect us.
There is a “Birther Summit” scheduled in Washington, D.C.
March 28-30th.
3 day event
So…the best solution is to wait 8 months & then have a rally in D.C.?
Do youi really want to give this traitor/usurper 240+ more days to screw the
United States? Apparently Comgress is going to kiss Obama’s ass into a
second term. Nobody gives a shit about O being born in Mobassa, Kenya.
It’s an American tragedy that our elected officials are supporting a fraud.
The trifecta fraud…fake BC, Fake SS#, Fake sective service records. Yadayada.
To the one who said to compare a picture of an Indonesian president with Obama, try Malcom X just for kicks. Momma attended a meeting held by the X in New York City in the fall of 1960.
