I recently came across a statement that Mike Huckabee made as he was commenting on President Obama's reaction to the Benghazi attack and the explanation given about what caused the attack.Mr. Huckabee said our "trust" as a nation is built on our ability to know that when our "president", whoever he is, Democrat or Republican, looks us straight in the eye and tells us something, we ought to know he is telling us the truth. There has been numerous times when President Obama has appeared on TV promoting Obamacare that he said, " if you like your insurance plan you can keep your insurance plan, if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor, PERIOD". It has now come to light that the President knew as early as December 2010 that those statements to the American people were not true .We try to teach our children that lying is not acceptable and not condoned, however, it is OK for our President to lie to mislead and gain approval for Obamacare which the American people don't want. If we let the Government and the Supreme Court get away with forcing us to " buy" insurance, there is " nothing" they cannot force us to do. The Constitution says that our Government is supposed to be "of the people, for the people, and by the people". We have let people like Harry Reid, and the like, represent themselves instead of "we the people". Why else do they always "exempt" themselves from the laws they pass for "we the people". It is apparent they consider themselves "better" than "we the people". It is high time that "term limits" be imposed on members of Congress. Why do they deserve to have a job for life regardless of their performance? I don't have any sympathy for anyone who pass laws on someone else, and then "exclude" themselves from the same laws.
