White House caught in lie about Obama's past
Now admits president's link to
illegal-alien relative
The Obamacare lies have been all
over the news lately. Particularly the one about “If you like your health care
plan, you can keep your health care plan” that millions of American have
learned was a falsehood through cancellation notices.
Today, the White House changed yet
another story in a move Fox News described as “at best a misrepresentation” and
“at worst a big lie.”
It surfaced when Obama’s
illegal-alien uncle, who came to the attention of authorities when he was
arrested for allegedly driving drunk, appeared in court this week. A judge
eventually granted Omar Onyango Obama permission to stay in the U.S. because he
had been in the country so long.
The uncle testified during the
hearing that his famous nephew had stayed at his Cambridge apartment for about three weeks. At
the time, Onyango Obama was in the U.S. illegally and fighting
deportation.
He’s the second sibling of the
president’s father to face deportation to Kenya since he took office.
Zeituni Onyango, the president’s
aunt, won asylum in 2010 after a federal official disclosed days before Barack
Obama’s historic election in 2008 that she was living illegally in Boston public housing.
President Obama had written in his
memoir, “Dreams from My Father,” that he had met Zeituni Onyango.
But his relationship with his
uncle, nicknamed Omar, was less clear.
In November 2011, a White House
spokesman said he had no record of the two ever meeting. The Washington Post
had also reported that scholars believed the two had never met.
But the story changed Thursday.
A White House official said the press
office had not fully researched the relationship between the president and his
uncle before telling the Boston Globe it had
no record of the two meeting. This time, the press office claims to have asked
the president directly, which it said it had not done in 2011.
“The president first met Omar
Obama when he moved to Cambridge
for law school,” said White House spokesman Eric Schultz. “The president did
stay with him for a brief period of time until his apartment was ready. After
that, they saw each other once every few months, but after law school they fell
out of touch. The president has not seen him in 20 years, has not spoken with
him in 10.”
The White House said Obama’s
immigration case was handled “without any interference from the president or the
White House.”
Commented Peter Kirsanow at at the
National Review blog “The Corner”: “The White House never attempted to correct
the record until now, claiming that in 2011 the press office hadn’t actually
asked the president himself whether he’d lived with Uncle Onyango.”
Kirsanow quipped: “Before
“‘misspeaking’ (to use the New York Times stylebook) about the president’s
relationships, it might be a lot easier if the White House Press Office simply
confirmed them with his composite girlfriends.”
The media found various ways to
describe the falsehood in headlines.
“WH admits Obama briefly stayed
with uncle,” said The Hill.
“After denial, White House now
says Obama lived with uncle,” said the Washington Post.
“President Obama acknowledges
having lived with his uncle,” said a Boston
report.
“White House makes big admission
about Obama’s uncle,” said The Blaze.
“White House changes story on
Obama’s uncle,” said USA Today.
And the Globe said, “In reversal,
Obama says he lived with uncle.”
Regarding Obamacare, besides the Obama’s lie about Americans being able to
keep their coverage and their doctors, WND reported a Gallup poll showed the entire premise for
Obamacare was false, documenting that most Americans were happy with their
health-care and their insurance and didn’t believe the system was broken and
unfixable
would be that the health-care
system in the U.S.
was disintegrating and needed to be rebuilt by Obama.
on Gallup Politics that showed
Americans “remain generally positive about the quality of health care they
personally receive, their health-care coverage and what they pay for health
care.”
That means, talk radio host Rush
Limbaugh explained, that the stated reason for Obamacare – the claim that the
whole health-care system is broken and unfixable – was wrong.
“Everybody’s been sold a bill of
goods,” he said. “Most people are and have been very happy with the current
health-care system.”
Limbaugh said there was “not a
massive national problem with health care in America.”
“Seventy percent of the American
people were happy with the American health-care system,” he noted.
He said the false information was
spread – and repeated – because the administration “wanted to control it, take
it over and reform it.”
If such circumstances had
developed among private enterprise, he said, it would constitute “fraud.”
WND previously reported on Obama’s uncle, who was arrested in Framingham, Mass.,
after allegedly driving under the influence and nearly slamming his SUV into a
police car.
According to the MetroWest Daily
News, Onyango Obama failed a sobriety test after the crash, registering a
blood-alcohol level of .14, while the state limit it .08
Onyango had “red and glassy eyes,”
was wobbly legged and was “slurring” his speech, according to police reports.
He was ordered held without bail
on a federal immigration warrant
after his arraignment.
The arrest revealed Onyango’s
outstanding deportation orders and his relationship to the president.
Shortly after his arrest, he told
an officer, “I think I will call the White House.”
