Should President Obama be Impeached for Advertising Fraud?

I’m in the direct marketing business. My letters, ads, and websites have generated nearly $1 BILLION during my 24 years in the advertising field.

I know that if I make false claims in my ads, there’s a good chance I’ll be imprisoned for deceptive advertising or have to pay a hefty fine, plus restitudtion — or all of the aforementioned.

One of my favorite direct marketers was Don Lapre.

This guy was a marketing genius.

You might remember his infomercials which advertised a program to show you how to get rich by running classified ads.

I bought Lapre’s program because I loved his ads. I was not dissatisfied in the least by what arrived via UPS: a big box full of stuff, including DVDs, books and study guides.

I actually learned a lot a bit from his course.

I have not really put a strict dollar-figure on it. But I estimate I’ve made more than $1,000,000 from the ideas and information I learned from Don Lapre.

Lapre was subsequently indicted by the Obama Justice Department on 41 counts of mail fraud, I guess because of the stuff he shipped to customers like me. In October of 2011, Lapre committed suicide while in prison waiting for trial.

So Lapre was likely going to prison for a long time for selling me a product that I liked.

I’m sure some of his claims were deceptive, perhaps not completely true. Though I could not find any. His ads were full of hype. But I did not detect any clear falsehoods. I loved his ads.

These were great infomercials — some of the best infomercials ever created. Lapre was a marketing genius. Lapre was a Hall of Fame direct marketer. I was very sad to hear of his indictment, then suicide in prison.

Now compare to what Lapre did (for which he was prosecuted and imprisoned by Obama) to with how Obama sold ObamaCare to Congress and the American people.

Almost everything Obama told us about ObamaCare was a blatant lie.

ObamaCare passed by one vote in the Senate. ObamaCare never would have passed without all the lies Obama told America about ObamaCare.

Lie #1: Obama promised this: “If you like your health care plan, you’ll be able tokeep your health care plan, period.”

He repeated this lie over and over again, at least 50 times that I’ve counted.

He did not say: “You can keep your health insurance plan if it’s not a crappy plan.”

He did not say: “You can keep your health insurance plan if it’s a good plan.”

What Obama was promising was that ObamaCare would expand our options, not reduce them.

But now we know, while Obama was telling this lie, that Health and Human Services projected that 93,000,000 Americans would lose their health coverage because of ObamaCare regulations.

So Obama was not mistaken. He knowingly told a blatant lie to the American people — in order to pass ObamaCare into law.

Lie #2: Obama repeatedly promised we would all be able to keep our own doctor.

Now we know that we can only potentially keep our own doctor on the ObamaCare exchanges if our doctor agrees to be part of the ObamaCare exchange.

Most doctors are opting out of the ObamaCare exchanges. So far only 25 percent say they will be in the ObamaCare exchanges. And most doctors refuse to see Medicaid patients because the pay from Medicaid doesn’t cover the cost of the doctors visits and treatments.

Not only will those who enter the ObamaCare exchanges probably not get to keep their own doctor. It’s likely they won’t even be able to keep their own hospital.

Entire hospitals are refusing to enter the ObamaCare exchanges.

Lie #3: President Obama promised to Congress and the American people in a nationally televised address that ObamaCare would cost less than $1 TRILLION over ten years.

The CBO now projects the cost of ObamaCare to the federal treasury will be at least $2.3 TRILLION over ten years.

But even that’s not the true cost of ObamaCare because most of the costs of ObamaCare are passed onto the states, as well as individuals and businesses in the form of mandates.

When you add in all these costs, the price tag on ObamaCare goes up to more like $10 TRILLION over ten years. And I’ve probably underestimated the true cost by a factor of two or three.

Lie #4: President Obama promised the yearly premium for the average American household would drop by $2,500 per year.

Instead, the premium for the average American household is increasing by close to $5,000 per year — a $7,500 per year difference.

The reason is all the ObamaCare mandates on the type of health coverage we must have.

As a 55 year-old male with kids out of the home, I must now pay for health coverage that includes maternity care, contraception coverage, abortion, vasectomies, psychiatric care, substance abuse treatments — when what I really want is catastrophic coverage, which is cheap.

I want insurance for extended hospitalization in the event of debilitating accident, for cancer, for heart disease, and other horrendous illnesses. I want insurance that carries a $5,000 deductible. I then pay for my routine doctor visits and prescriptions out of pocket.

By the way, I find that if I tell the doctor that I can pay her with cash, I get all kinds of price breaks. I suddenly become that doctor’s favorite patient.

Doctors hate all the paperwork that comes with insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid. If you pay with cash, you can find wonderful doctors who will cut their bill in half.

But ObamaCare’s one-size-fits-all mandates require me to pay triple what I really need for perfectly good health insurance.

Lie #5: Obama promised that not one penny of ObamaCare money would ever be used to pay for an abortions — directly or indirectly.

You probably remember the hapless Congressman Bart Stupak.

What an idiot!

Stupak was the leader of a caucus of approximately 21 pro-life, mostly Catholic Democrats.

These pro-life Democrats were not going to vote for ObamaCare unless they could be assured that not one penny of ObamaCare money would be used for abortion — either directly or indirectly.

To assure these pro-life, mostly Catholic Democrats, President Obama issued an executive order that no funds from ObamaCare could be used for abortion, either directly or indirectly.

The Stupak Democrats bought the lie. And almost all of them voted to pass ObamaCare.

Stupak (the dope that he is) then lost his seat in the 2010 mid-term elections because of his vote for ObamaCare — as did other members of this caucus of pro-life Democrats.

ObamaCare would not have passed the House without these pro-life Democrats — who were lied to by Obama, who were assured that not one penny of ObamaCare funds would be used to pay for abortions, either directly or indirectly.

Not only has this not happened. But all Americans (including pro-life Americans) are required by regulations issued by HHS to have health coverage that includes coverage for the “morning after pill” — an abortion-inducing drug.

And big reason so many hospitals and doctors are opting out of ObamaCare is because of the HHS requirement that they perform abortions if they want to be part of the ObamaCare exchange.

These are the five big lies Obama told to pass ObamaCare into law.

ObamaCare passed because of fraud — exactly what many marketers (like Don Lapre) went to prison for.  But at least I wasn’t required by law to purchase Lapre’s product — which I actually loved.  What a great product that was! I spent something like $49.99 on a product that helped me make more than $1,000,000.

So Lapre’s product was valuable.  Obama’s is not.  Obama sold America a product that actually hurts most Americans — hurts Americans badly.

These lies Obama told to pass ObamaCare into law are just the tip of the iceberg. Obama told hundreds of lies to sell ObamaCare to Congress and the American people.

Almost nothing Obama promised ObamaCare would achieve is true.

He promised that the 40,000,000 uninsured Americans would be covered.

Not true. With ObamaCare in full force, CBO estimates that we will still have 30,000,000 uninsured Americans.  ObamaCare helps almost none of the uninsured.

Wasn’t that supposed to be the entire purpose of ObamaCare — to insure the uninsured?

Obama promised ObamaCare would bend the health care cost curve down.

Health care costs are skyrocketting more than ever for most Americans — because of all the ObamaCare mandates.

Obama’s many lies to sell ObamaCare amount to fraud.

Don Lapre and many markers have been prosecuted by the Obama Justice Department for making false advertising claims to sell their products.

But these marketers have not caused nearly the damage to the American people that President Obama has caused with his lies.

Bernie Madoff hurt some people with his lies, no doubt about it.  He was a fraud who deserves prison.

But Obama has caused so much more damage with his fraud.

No President in Americans history has told as many provable lies to sell his program as Barack Obama. Almost nothing Obama told us about his program is true.

Barack Obama makes Bill Clinton look like Honest Abe Lincoln by comparison.

If Don Lapre can be prosecuted by the Obama Justice Department for making exaggerated claims about a program that was pretty decent and that we were not required by law to buy, how much more serious is President Obama’s avalanche of lies to sell a program that we would be required by law to buy?

At least Don Lapre offered a money-back guarantee if we were not satisfied with his program. To my knowledge, Don Lapre honored this guarantee.

I even received a phone call from Don Lapre’s organization asking if I was happy with his product. I answered that I was. But he was prosecuted for fraud by Obama — the all-time world champion fraudster.

Why isn’t Obama being prosecuted by his own Justice Department for fraud?

Of course, we know the answer.

This fraud against the American people is 1,000-times worse than anything Bill Clinton did. And Clinton was impeached.
