Obama runs afoul of his own Trojan Horse

It’s looking like the President is getting desperate.

In response to the inconvenient video making the rounds on the internet, the Obama Administration proposed a KGB-style campaign of intimidation against those who are opposed to nationalized health care.

ManBehindTheCurtainWhite House Office of Health Reform communications director Linda Douglass tried to countermand the President’s own words, claiming those who notice the inconsistency (between what he said on the campaign trail and what he says now) are “taking sentences and phrases out of context, and they’re cobbling them together to leave a very false impression.” Politico reports on the Freudian projection:

The White House on Tuesday posted a three-minute video punching back at an old clip of President Barack Obama that was featured on the Drudge Report with the headline “Uncovered Video: Obama Explains How His Health Care Plan Will ‘Eliminate’ Private Insurance.”

The White House response features Linda Douglass, formerly an ABC News correspondent and now a White House official, showing Drudge’s homepage on the screen of her office computer.

Dan Pfeiffer, the White House deputy communications director, said: “We intend to use a lot of the grassroots viral Internet techniques from the campaign to beat back the campaign of misstatements and outright falsehoods about the president’s efforts to reform health insurance.”

Obama knows he’s been caught in a lie: saying that their “public option” is not a Trojan Horse to “single payer” (e.g. government takeover of the entire health care industry). Because the video shows him saying that is his goal.

Ok, just for the sake of argument, let’s make sure we’re not taking things out of context. Let’s look at the entire phrase in context, shall we?

I happen to be a proponent of a single payer universal health care program. I see no reason why the United States of America, the wealthiest country in the history of the world, spending 14 percent of its Gross National Product on health care cannot provide basic health insurance to everybody. And that’s what Jim is talking about when he says everybody in, nobody out. A single payer health care plan, a universal health care plan. And that’s what I’d like to see. But as all of you know, we may not get there immediately. Because first we have to take back the White House, we have to take back the Senate, and we have to take back the House.”

It doesn’t get much more clear than that. They’ve taken all three branches of government. And like he said in 2003, they’re now putting forth a plan to create the single payer Marxist health care system.

Obama’s greatest strength is his ability to give a good speech. And ironically, his own words are now tripping him up.

The only “misstatements and outright falsehoods” in this ongoing discussion about America’s health care are the ones being perpetrated by the Democrats and the Obama administration against the American people. And from what I’m seeing, they’re operating from a very old playbook:

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” ~Joseph Goebbels

I know that dances dangerously close to violating Godwin’s Law, but it does explain a lot. Especially why we’re continually hearing Obama say, almost verbatim, “If you like your current insurance, you keep that insurance. Period. End of Story.”

“The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly – it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over.” ~Joseph Goebbels
