The lies keep coming: Even as President Obama issued a weak-kneed apology for his lie about keeping your health plan, he added a whole bunch of new lies and misstatements.
Update: Meanwhile, even today the White House official website still claims “if you like your insurance plan, your doctor, or both, you will be able to keep them.”
Readers!
Every February I run a fund-raising drive during my birthday month. This year I celebrate my 72nd birthday, and hope and plan to continue writing and posting on Behind the Black for as long as I am able.
I hope my readers will support this effort. As I did in my November fund-raising drive, I am offering autographed copies of my books for large donations. Donate $250 and you can have a choice of the hardback of either Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8 or Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space. Donate $200 and you can get an autographed paperback copy of either. IMPORTANT! If you donate enough to get a book, please email me separately to tell me which book you want and the address to mail it to.
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. My analysis of space, politics, and culture, taken from the perspective of an historian, is almost always on the money and ahead of the game. For example, in 2020 I correctly predicted that the COVID panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Every one of those 2020 conclusions has turned out right.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

Slick Willy was impeached for much less, this congress and senate are the must useless that I can remember.
I like my country…can I keep it?
Well, it is nice to know that the President is sorry that he lied to us and will do everything in his power to make us whole again.
Wait. He didn’t apologize that he lied, he only said that he was sorry that we misunderstood his clear promise. Period. He is only sorry that he finally got caught in his lie.
He is laughing directly at us that we fell for his Hitlerean lie, telling a lie so colossal that no one would believe that a world leader “could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously.” If you tell a big lie over and over, people will believe it. Even Goebbels believed this philosophy: “The English follow the principle that when one lies, one should lie big, and stick to it. They keep up their lies, even at the risk of looking ridiculous.” Now that Obama has been caught in his lie, he looks so ridiculous that he had to pretend to apologize.
And while he laughs at us, he gives us new lies, such as “We’re gonna do everything we can to get [it] fixed.” (Is that the royal “we” or are others going to get involved in whatever he means by “fix?”)
He continues bragging about his fooley by saying that only a mere 5% of the population are adversely affected (but will end up with “better” insurance, but he does not say for whom the insurance is “better,” but it clearly is not better for those of us who liked our insurance as it is/was). This is yet another big lie. His own administration has written that a much larger portion of the population (93 million, or about 33%) will lose its current insurance, so Obama is risking looking ridiculous again.
We may be able to determine other lies of his by seeing which other statements he has said over and over again, such as: “I will not rest until …” whatever problem is fixed, then we find him relaxing on the golf course that afternoon.
Even though we remember the past, Hitlerean/Goebbelean history, it is repeating itself right in our back yard. George Santayana was not entirely correct. There is more to it than just remembering the past.
Of course you could keep your present plan.
As long as it qualifies as good enough.
And as long as you never change anything like loose your job, get married or claim a dependent.
