Obama, The Master of the Lie

Obama, The Master of the Lie

By Mark Alexander

No president since Franklin Roosevelt has mastered the art of the "Big Lie" as effectively as Barack Hussein Obama. In my last Memo to Demos, I outlined Obama's litany of lies to win passage of ObamaCare, or as an increasing number of Democrats now prefer to call it, the "Affordable Care Act." Having supported this catastrophic behemoth, they now hope that their refusal to utter the word "ObamaCare" will provide them a measure of political protection. The truth, however, is that they are now irrevocably linked to Obama's repeated bald-faced lies.

I concur with the assessment of political analyst Jonah Goldberg that Obama's lies are "the biggest lies about domestic policy ever uttered by a U.S. president."

As politically vulnerable Demos in the Senate are scurrying away from the ObamaCare train wreck, their intrepid leader, Sen. Harry Reid, yet again repeated Obama's Big Lie: "What he said was true. If you want to keep the insurance you have you can keep it. The problem is, we did not put the bill into effect that way."

In other words, you can keep your insurance and doctor, except "we did not put the bill into effect that way." This must be why he exempted some of his staff from ObamaCare.

I was as stupefied by Reid's reiteration of this now-infamous lie as was the reporter who asked him about it. Is Reid suffering from acute dementia? Has he been imprisoned in some sensory deprivation tank for the last two months? Or is he, like Obama, thoroughly accomplished in the art of the Big Lie? Recall that this audacious technique is a staple of the biggest deceptions propagated by Leftist cadres since the rise of Marxism and its murderous manifestations in successive regimes, most notably the National Socialist German Workers' Party from the 1930s through the end of World War II.

Some reading this will question: Really Alexander? Obama and Hitler? Is this another histrionic example of Godwin's Rule of Nazi Analogies: "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1"?

If you're among those who'd rather dismiss such associations because they seem too strident -- or because you want to help maintain Obama's deception -- then your answer is yes. But the fact is, Obama's lies fit neatly into the Big Lie framework defined by another pathological narcissist, Adolf Hitler.
