An interesting law - will it be enforced?

[Little-Acorn]

Did you know that when Obama said, "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. Period.", while knowing it wouldn't be true for a great many people, but saying it anyway because he needed to trick people into supporting his health care scheme.....

...he was committing a Federal crime???

(1) falsifies, conceals, or covers up by any trick, scheme, or device a material fact; or
(2) makes any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statements or representations, or makes or uses any materially false writing or document knowing the same to contain any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or entry,

I'm sure that will be enforced, just as rigorously as our border laws have been enforced.

I have to wonder.

If someone actually brought suit in a Federal court against Barack Obama under this law...

...on what grounds would it be dismissed?

 

[Freewill]

Obama didn't need support for Obamacare the dems were bought off. What he wanted was affirmation that he was right. His narcissism drove him to repeat a lie. Kind of like saying "love me" I know what is good for you. His "lie" made no difference in the vote, in my opinion. The moderate democrats were bought off to support the bill. Remember the "corn husker kickback?" Buying off people for votes, now that is something that needs to be made unlawful. But if that happened our government would grind to a stop.

give it up

you have no idea what your talking about.

Why wasn't Bush prosecuted under that law for lying us into war?

 

[Truthmatters]

because its bullshit

 

[Truthmatters]

Oh its a healthcare only law huh?


dear idiot Obama is not an insurance provider

 

[Jackson]

Wow, Little Acorn! Have you found the golden egg?! What is it the president can be impeached upon? High Crimes and Misdemeanors?

shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both.


What do the posters think of this? I would say that this lie he continued to use to get elected certainly qualifies.

And that sums up the response to all liberal lies from liberals.

 

[rightwinger]

I'm thinking impeachment here

 

[martybegan]

I'm thinking impeachment here

Probably not, but it is interesting that this is actually a law.

 

[Jackson]

LMAO... That code looks as if it was written with Obama's lies in mind! Read it carefully!

I think we have a winner. And Obama could finally be crowned the loser. Someone call Issa! It has been well established that Obama lied and he even apologized.

 

[Truthmatters]

one more dream of a fake scandal

Maybe someday you will actually find a REAL scandal huh.


Maybe that is why you vote for Rs

Actually, the only people Obama did lie to (other than the American people) is the Democrats. Not a single Republican bought his lies or voted for the law.

Truthy...will you at least admit your hero president lied about everyone's ability to keep their policies and doctors if they liked them?

Is anyone not afraid of the black man enough to actually make this an issue?

I doubt that.

A congressman was just caught with cocaine. Cocaine! The laws do not apply to these people. Any regular guy walking around with cocaine would be booked and in prison right now.

the law he signed required them to drop the policies. If the law wasnt signed by him, they wouldnt have had to do it.
