Newly appointed White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew appeared on five news programs Sunday and made stunning statements during at least three of his appearances. In addition to making misleading remarks on NBC and CNN in regards to the law regarding filibustering a budget vote, despite once being the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, Lew also claimed that the Affordable Care Act (a.k.a. ObamaCare) gives the President the authority to tell a private company that they have to offer a product and offer it for free.
The stunning claim came during Lew’s appearance on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace. The White House Chief of Staff appeared to discuss the release of President Obama’s budget, but first fielded questions from Wallace regarding the President’s decision to revise part of his controversial decision on a birth control mandate.Fox News reports on the unbelievable admission:
“’The president has the authority under the Affordable Care Act to have these kinds of rules take effect,’ Lew said in response to the question of how the president can force a private company to provide a product free of charge.
In addition, Lew argued, that providing contraception will not cost insurance companies anything,
‘If you were looking at the actuarial projection, the cost of the plan, it costs more to provide a plan without than it does with.’
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops issued a sternly-worded statement Friday in response to the president’s revision to the new rule, which in part calls the decision, ‘unacceptable’ and says it ‘must be corrected.’
‘We didn’t expect to get universal support of the bishops or all Catholics. I think that what we have here is a policy that reflects bringing together two very important principles in a way that’s true to the American tradition. And that’s what the president is trying to do. There are others who want to have a clash over it. We want to bring these two principles together,’ Lew said.
Pointing to statements of support from Catholic Health Association and Catholic charities, Lew said that the policy put forward Friday, ‘is something that should put this issue to rest.’
Lew said despite protests from the bishops, the policy will be finalized in the rules.”
Lew took over for former Chief of Staff Bill Daley at the end of January. Daley, son and brother of former Chicago Mayors Richard J. Daley and Richard M. Daley, reportedly did not support the controversial contraception rule on both politics and policy. Lew’s full interview on Fox News Sunday:

Everybody blames their boss for not paying enough, when the problem is right next to them–their fellow employees! If there weren’t as many fellow employees, the boss would have to pay more to hire the talent he/she needs! It’s just that simple! If we want to see more cost-effective medicine, I can ASSURE YOU that single-payer is the WORST WAY TO GO! Duh! I guess Obama NEVER took an economics course in college! Exactly what did he take?

No to Ron Paul….unless he changes his stand on legalizing drugs and is willing to seriously hurt any country that tries to hurt Israel. If he makes those changes I could consider him. We cannot stand back and let Israel get wiped out. And it’s just foolish to allow drugs to be legal. We could stop most of the drugs that come into this country by securing the borders. If you would inquire of people who don’t like Ron Paul, you would learn that those two issues are what stands in his way to being President. Santorum would be a good President. That‘s who I’m voting for as of the present moment.

I dismissed your comment at first.

In fact, “oba” does mean “king” on various African dialects.
And “ma” or “mwa” means “the” or “our”!!!
So, I apologize for not believing you.
IT IS A FACT…
“OBAMA” translates “OUR KING” or “ THE KING”!!!
There is no way he couldn’t have known this, since he CHOSE the name.

They established a PRIVATE BANK to be the CORP’s central bank.

In 1913 the “Federal reserve act” was passed.
No more gold exchanges at the Banks and Income Tax begins.

All of the Corps gold was given to the Private bank. It was not enough.
The Government orders all it’s “citizens” turn in its gold. It was not enough.

Posted on February 13, 2012 at 2:02pm@Captain Crunch: I’ll second what previous blogger said about legalizing drugs. It’s a state issue, not something where Paul wants to have a federal law making them legal. Big difference, and if drugs were legalized, or at least states decided the issue, the Mexican drug cartels would be cut off at the knees. Users would have no need for their illegal drugs when they can just walk into Walgreens or the liquor store and buy them like alcohol, if it’s legal in their state.
When it comes to Israel, Ron Paul is probably the best friend Israel has and too many pro-war conservatives don’t even realize it. He’s in favor of leaving them alone and not telling them what to do. Us being joined at the hip with Israel may do them more harm than good with their situation. Oh, and back in the 1980′s, when Israel bombed one of Saddam’s weapons facilities, Congress condemned it, but there was Ron Paul, all by himself, defending Israel’s right to defend herself. Like Palin said, Ron Paul supports Israel, just not the same way as other politicians.
If anyone has dangerous policies it’s Santorum, who has no real plan to cut spending and wants to expand the wars in the middle east. That’s a recipe for disaster. Stretching our military thin and bankrupting the country so eventually we won’t be able to afford defending even our own soil. Now THAT is dangerous.

I don‘t believe anyone bought Obama’s “accomodation” last week. Essentially Obama has ordered the Church to pay a third party who in turn will pay the contraceptive company instead of the Church paying it directly. Obama continues to insult every American and this will hurt Obama at the polls in November.

Posted on February 12, 2012 at 10:05pmIt’s all about making health care costs cheaper in the long run?
Report Post »As an analogy, what about women who sit on the couch all day and eat potato chips. They will get fat and this unhealthy lifestyle will lead to higher health care costs in the future. What if the Government demanded that insurance companies pay the fitness club memberships for these victims because, of course, they have no choice.

Posted on February 12, 2012 at 10:47pmThe economic collapse will kill off all the fat useless people, it’s part of the plan. I’d guess they expect between 50/100 million Americans die off during the up- heave, of course most from lack of simple meds.

Report Post »Dude he wasn’t dissing fat people he was saying that fat people would die during the economic collapse as a part of the overall plan, culling the herd is exactly what the plan for obamacare is, why do you think that they started really lowering the boom on Sarah Palin after she started suggesting that the plan included death panels? She hit the nail right on the head and they didn’t want that part of bobamacare to be made public. Read something about Piven and Alinsky it is all there in black and white and it is being followed to the T. We are just lambs being led to slaughter unless we stand up and say no more right now.

Posted on February 12, 2012 at 9:54pmThe policy change is a distinction without a difference. The real issue is not about contraception or abortion. It is about whether the government can tell a private company that they must provide a good or service at no charge, and ordering religious organizations to conform to a government mandate. In the first instance, if government can compel a company to provide a good or service at no charge, then what is to prevent the government from directing, for example, Wal Mart to provide free groceries to everyone, or a utility to provide free power, etc. And if the government can dictate that a religion must violate it’s tenets in one instance, what is to prevent it from telling that religion what it can or must preach? It seems to me that requiring an insurance company to provide free coverage constitutes a deprivation of property without due process. It’s equally clear that requiring a religious organization to provide coverage, either directly or indirectly, violates the First Amendment’s separation of church and state.

Posted on February 12, 2012 at 11:57pmCorrect. The question is, why is the congress not moving on this? Why is the Supreme Court not moving on this? Why are the US companies that will be affected not moving on this? Why are the free people of the United States not moving on this? Why are the American people so ignorant? Why is the press allowing this to go unchallenged?
