On October 24, 2013, the Daily Caller reported:

409) Obama falsely blamed insurance companies for canceling policies that did not meet Obamacare's minimum requirements

Obamacare requires all insurance policies to cover pre-existing conditions, maternity care, treatment for heroin addiction, and certain other things.

Therefore, based on simple logic, any policies that do not cover these things are rendered illegal by Obamacare, and must be canceled.

The Washington Post said of this:

"Beginning Jan. 1, the new plans must cover 10 essential benefits including pediatric care, prescription drugs, mental-health services and maternity 
care. In general, policies that don't offer those can't be sold after 2013."

However, after insurance companies canceled these policies, Obama blamed the cancellations on the insurance companies instead of on Obamacare.

"Nothing in Obamacare forces people out of their health plans."

of people said to be buying insurance under the new Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare.

415) Kathleen Sebelius said the Obamacare website "has never crashed" at the exact same time that it was crashing

419) Threatened to prosecute someone for selling "Department of Homeland Stupidity" coffee mugs

Merchant Dan McCall sells items that parody the U.S. government, such as coffee mugs that say "Department of Homeland Stupidity." Although such 
parody speech is protected by the first amendment, the Obama administration sent him a "cease and desist" letter, and threatened to prosecute him if 
he did not stop selling the products.

423) Obama "puts a chill on what is really a healthy discourse between journalists and their sources"

In October 2013, New York Times executive editor Jill Abramson said:

"... the Obama administration has initiated seven criminal leak investigations... these seven leak investigations are more than double, all of the 
criminal leak investigations in all administrations before the Obama administration. And it puts a chill on what is really a healthy discourse 
between journalists and their sources. And it's our sources who mainly risk going to prison."

424) Obamacare website sent some people the eligibility letters of other people

In November 2013, it was reported that the Obamacare website had sent some people the eligibility letters of other people - people who were total 
strangers, who lived in other states.

425) Falsely said that his promise of letting people keep their insurance had included the words "if it hasn't changed since the law passed"

On June 15, 2009, Obama said:

"That means that no matter how we reform health care, we will keep this promise to the American people: If you like your doctor, you will be able to 
keep your doctor, period. If you like your health care plan, you'll be able to keep your health care plan, period. No one will take it away, no 
matter what."

However, on November 4, 2013, Obama said:

"Now, if you have or had one of these plans before the Affordable Care Act came into law and you really liked that plan, what we said was you can 
keep it if it hasn't changed since the law passed."

428) Denied saying that people could keep their insurance even though it was on video from more than 20 different occasions

Obama denied saying that people could keep their insurance even though it was on video from more than 20 different occasions. The video of him saying 
it more than 20 different times can be seen at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCUpJDzyRnY

429) Broke his promise to "call out" people who lie about Obamacare

In September 2009, Obama said:

"If you misrepresent what's in this plan, we will call you out."

However, as of November 2013, Obama has not "called himself out" for lying about what was in Obamacare. He has not "called himself out" for falsely 
saying that people could keep their insurance. He has not "called himself out" for falsely saying that families' premiums would fall by $2,500 by the 
end of his first term. He has not "called himself out" on any of his many Obamacare lies that are on this list.

On November 7, 2013, NBC News reported:

President Obama said Thursday that he is "sorry" that some Americans are losing their current health insurance plans as a result of the Affordable 
Care Act, despite his promise that no one would have to give up a health plan they liked.

"I am sorry that they are finding themselves in this situation based on assurances they got from me," he told NBC News in an exclusive interview at 
the White House.

tough position as a consequence of this."

On November 8, 2013, the White House website still said, "If you like your plan you can keep it"

433) Obama used fraudulent accounting to overstate the number of people who had "enrolled" in Obamacare

In November 2013, the Washington Post reported:

Who counts as an Obamacare enrollee? The Obama administration settles on a definition.

The fight over how to define the new health law's success is coming down to one question: Who counts as an Obamacare enrollee?

Health insurance plans only count subscribers as enrolled in a health plan once they've submitted a payment. That is when the carrier sends out a 
member card and begins paying doctor bills.

When the Obama administration releases health law enrollment figures later this week, though, it will use a more expansive definition. It will count 
people who have purchased a plan as well as those who have a plan sitting in their online shopping cart but have not yet paid.

434) In June 2010, the Obama administration estimated that 93 million people would lose their insurance because of Obamacare

440) "4 Things The US Government Accomplished In Less Time Than A Working Obamacare Website"

In November 2013, camharris.us reported:

4 Things The US Government Accomplished In Less Time Than A Working Obamacare Website

From the day that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act went into effect to the morning that the federal healthcare exchange went live, 1288 
days passed. 3 years, 6 months, and 8 days. In all that time, our federal government could not construct a website that actually worked, and we are 
still waiting for a final product.

Here are 4 things the United States government accomplished in less time than it has taken to build a working website:

A)	We Fought World War I - April 6, 1917-November 11, 1918

	1 years, 7 months, 6 days

B)	We Fought A Bigger War

	December 7, 1941-May 8, 1945

	3 years, 5 months, 2 days

C)	We Built The Bomb

	June 17, 1942-July 16,1945

	3 years, 1 month

D)	We Orbited A Man Around The Earth

	October 7, 1958-February 20, 1962

	3 years, 4 months, 13 days


441) Falsely claimed credit for the increase in domestic oil production

During Obama's Presidency, domestic oil production increased, and the Obama administration claimed credit for it. However, this increase only 
happened on privately owned land and state owned land, which Obama had no control over. On land that is owned by the federal government, oil 
production actually went down.

442) Falsely said "I actually respect the Constitution."

In 2007, Obama said:

"I actually respect the Constitution."

However, this list contains a huge number of examples which prove that Obama's statement is false.

443) Senator Obama repeatedly voted in favor of funding the Iraq War

In March 2007, the Boston Globe reported:

Obama defends votes in favor of Iraq funding

Senator Barack Obama yesterday defended his votes on behalf of funding the Iraq war

Obama has voted for all of the president's war funding requests since coming to the Senate

444) Banned Navy SEALs from wearing the "Don't Tread on Me" Navy Jack patch on their uniforms

For more than 200 years, the "Don't Tread on Me" Navy Jack flag has been a well respected symbol of the U.S. Navy.

However, in October 2013, the Obama administration banned Navy SEALs from wearing a patch of it on their uniforms.

445) Gave 655 "tax refunds" to a single address in Lithuania, and 343 to a single address in Shanghai

In 2012, the Obama administration gave 655 "tax refunds" to a single address in Lithuania, and 343 to a single address in Shanghai.

446) Banned the linking of terrorism to radical Islam during training of anti-terrorism agents

Although the Fort Hood shooter, the shoe bomber, and underwear bomber, and 100% of the 9-11 terrorists were all radical Muslims, the Obama 
administration enacted a ban on associating terrorism with radical Islam during training exercises of anti-terrrorism agents.

447) During Obamacare's first month, only 106,185 people enrolled

On November 12, 2013, it was reported that during October 2013, only 106,185 people had enrolled in Obamacare. And even this pathetically low number 
is fraudulently overstated, because it includes people who had left insurance policies in their shopping cart without paying for them. No legitimate 
online retailer counts unpaid items left in the shopping cart as a sale.

448) Less than 1% of Massachusetts citizens who lost their insurance because of Obamacare have signed up for a new policy at the Obamacare website

On November 9, 2013, the Boston Herald reported:

Just weeks before a Jan. 1 enrollment deadline, state officials admitted yesterday that just 1 percent of the 150,000 Bay Staters facing canceled 
heath insurance under Obamacare rules have signed up for new plans.

Massachusetts Health Connector officials told the Herald that only 549 applicants - out of the 150,000 Bay Staters forced to switch their health 
plans to comply with Obamacare rules - are poised to receive insurance through the new system.

449) "The Obamacare Exchange Scorecard: Around 100,000 Enrollees And Five Million Cancellations"

On November 12, 2013, Forbes reported:

The Obamacare Exchange Scorecard: Around 100,000 Enrollees And Five Million Cancellations

HHS has released the official numbers here. The HHS report states that only 26,794 people enrolled in the federal exchange-which amounts to 23 per 
state per day-and 79,391 enrolled in the state-based exchanges, for a total of 106,185.

In the market for individually-purchased health insurance, more than 4.8 million Americans have received notices that their preexisting plans are 
soon to be illegal, and will be cancelled. Many more cancellation notices are imminent.

450) Obama told insurance companies to break the law

On November 14, 2013, after insurance companies had canceled policies that did not meet the minimum requirements of Obamacare, Obama told them to 
restore these policies. However, he did this without Congress voting to approve these changes to Obamacare. The President does not have the legal 
authority to change a law that was passed by Congress, without those changes first being approved by Congress.

451) Obama falsely said "In the first month alone, we've seen more than 100 million Americans already successfully enroll in the new insurance plans"

On November 18, 2013, Obama said:

"In the first month alone, we've seen more than 100 million Americans already successfully enroll in the new insurance plans."

In reality, the actual number was 106,185.

452) Jessica Sanford, whom Obama had cited as an Obamacare success story, later said she could not afford to buy an Obamacare policy

Jessica Sanford  is a a self-employed single mother from Washington state, who earns slightly less than $50,000 a year, and has not had health 
insurance for 15 years.

On October 21, 2013, Obama cited Sanford as an Obamacare success story, because she would be able to purchase an Obamacare policy for herself and her 
son for only $169 per month.

However, a month later, it was reported that the Obamacare website had quoted the wrong price for Sanford. Her true, actual price was $621. She said 
that she could not afford this, and that she would just pay the penalty instead.

453) Video shows students at historically black college complaining that Obamacare caused them to lose their insurance

454) "Obama brings chilling effect on journalism"

In October 2013, Associated Press reported:

Obama brings chilling effect on journalism

A report finds the U.S. government's aggressive prosecution of leaks and efforts to control information are having a chilling effect on journalists 
and government whistle-blowers.

The Committee to Protect Journalists released its first examination of U.S. press freedoms Thursday, focusing on changes under the Obama 
administration.

Leonard Downie Jr., a former executive editor of The Washington Post, wrote the 30-page analysis entitled "The Obama Administration and the Press." 
Downie interviewed reporters and editors who described a chilling effect in which "government officials are increasingly afraid to talk to the 
press."

Those suspected of discussing classified information are subject to investigation, lie-detector tests and scrutiny of telephone and email records.

455) Sued a trucking company that fired Muslim truck drivers for refusing to drive trucks carrying alcoholic beverages

458) "White House blocks access to Obama events, news groups say"

In November 2013, McClatchy reported:

White House blocks access to Obama events, news groups say

The nation's largest news organizations lodged a complaint Thursday against the White House for imposing unprecedented limitations on 
photojournalists covering President Barack Obama, which they say have harmed the public's ability to monitor its own government.

The organizations accuse the White House of banning photojournalists from covering Obama at some events, and then later releasing its own photos and 
videos of the same events.

"Journalists are routinely being denied the right to photograph or videotape the president while he is performing his official duties," according to 
a letter the organizations sent to the White House. "As surely as if they were placing a hand over a journalist's camera lens, officials in this 
administration are blocking the public from having an independent view of important functions of the executive branch of government."

"You are only seeing what they want you to see," said Lucy Dalglish, the dean of the Philip Merrill College of Journalism at the University of 
Maryland.

the news organizations stressed that they're referring only to presidential activities of a "fundamentally public nature," not private or restricted 
events, including ones that may affect national security.

Examples cited in the letter are Obama's meetings with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus on July 10, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on 
July 29 and Pakistani human rights activist Malala Yousafzai on Oct. 11.

In each case, journalists weren't allowed - and sometimes were unaware - of the event. The White House later released written summaries of the 
events, along with photos taken by a government photographer.

On Thursday, the presidents of the American Society of News Editors and the Associated Press Media Editors sent a letter to their members urging them 
to stop using handout photos and video from the White House.

"We must accept that we, the press, have been enablers," the letter says. "We urge those of you in news organizations to immediately refrain from 
publishing any of the photographs or videos released by the White House, just as you would refuse to run verbatim a press release from them."

Harry Walker, the director of the McClatchy-Tribune Photo Service, said opening access to events was "the foundation for journalism, not just 
photojournalism."

The letter was signed by 38 news organizations, including all the major broadcast and cable networks, wire services, online services and newspapers, 
including The New York Times, The Washington Post and the McClatchy Co., which owns 30 daily newspapers across the nation.

459) Three days after the Egyptian government murdered dozens of Egyptian civilians, the Obama administration announced it would give military aid to 
the Egyptian government, which, soon afterward, murdered hundreds of additional Egyptian civilians

On April 12, 2013, it was reported that the Obama administration had just given four F-16 fighter jets to Egypt, and that it had also given them 
eight others on earlier dates.

On July 8, 2013, it was reported that the Egyptian government had murdered at least 51 Egyptian civilians who had been protesting against the 
Egyptian government.

Three days later, it was reported that the Obama administration would be giving four additional F-16 fighter jets to the Egyptian government.

On July 27, 2013, it was reported that the Egyptian government had murdered at least 72 additional Egyptian civilians who had been protesting against 
the Egyptian government.

On August 15, 2013, it was reported that the Egyptian government had murdered more than 600 additional Egyptian civilians who had been protesting 
against the Egyptian government.

461) "NSA broke privacy rules thousands of times per year, audit finds"

In August 2013, the Washington Post reported:

NSA broke privacy rules thousands of times per year, audit finds

The National Security Agency has broken privacy rules or overstepped its legal authority thousands of times each year since Congress granted the 
agency broad new powers in 2008, according to an internal audit and other top-secret documents.

Most of the infractions involve unauthorized surveillance of Americans or foreign intelligence targets in the United States, both of which are 
restricted by statute and executive order.

The NSA audit obtained by The Post, dated May 2012, counted 2,776 incidents in the preceding 12 months of unauthorized collection, storage, access to 
or distribution of legally protected communications.

462) Announced plans to illegally regulate greenhouse gas emissions without approval from Congress

In August 2013, the Obama administration announced that it planned to regulate greenhouse gas emissions without approval from Congress. Without 
approval from Congress, Obama's actions would be illegal.

463) Refused to answer question about whether or not people who don't buy insurance should be put in jail

The Obama administration argued in front of the Supreme Court that the Obamacare mandate was a tax. Obama hired 16,500 new IRS agents to run 
Obamacare. In this video, ABC News asked Obama whether or not he thinks that people who don't buy insurance should be put in jail. Obama refused to 
answer the question. Even after the interviewer asked Obama the question a second time, Obama still refused to answer it.

464) An estimated 70% of California doctors will not participate in Obamacare

In December 2013, the California Medical Association estimated that 70% of California doctors would not be participating in Obamacare.

465) California's Obamacare website gave out the contact information of tens of thousands of people without their permission

In December 2013,  it was reported that California's Obamacare website had given private insurance agents the names, addresses, phone numbers, and 
email addresses of tens of thousands of people without their permission.

466) Made it easy for a future Republican President to give every U.S. citizen a permanent Obamacare waiver, without approval from Congress

The President does not have any legal authority to change the law without those changes first being approved by Congress. However, this list contains 
many examples of Obama making changes to Obamacare without approval from Congress. Some of these changes involve Obama giving Obamacare waivers to 
unions who supported the passage of Obamacare. Other changes include Obama delaying certain parts of Obamacare. Obama made these changes illegally, 
because they were not approved by Congress. With a small number of exceptions, Democrats have not criticized Obama for doing this.

Therefore, in the future, if a Republican President were to give permanent Obamacare waivers to every U.S. citizens without approval from Congress, 
the vast majority of Democrats would be hypocrites if they objected to it.

467) Obamacare encourages patients to rig the system to rip off doctors, repeatedly, year after year after year

In November 2013, Forbes reported:

Obamacare has... a 90-day grace period. This means people can buy an Obamacare policy, have costly procedures done and then cancel the policy within 
90 days. If the cancellation comes during the first 30 days, the insurer is responsible for trying to collect payment, but after that, doctors are on 
their own. They would have to spend time and money chasing patients for payments. California Healthline reported that deadbeats "would not receive a 
fine, a premium rate increase or a repayment order. They also would not be barred from purchasing another subsidized plan during the next enrollment 
period." No other type of health insurance has a 90-day grace period like this.

468) Tech experts said that a properly working Obamacare website should not have cost more than $10 million, whereas the defective version built by 
Michelle Obama's incompetent Princeton classmate had actually cost $634 million

Instead of hiring competent programmers to create the Obamacare website, Obama hired CGI Federal, a company that was run by Toni Townes-Whitley, who 
attended Princeton University with Michelle Obama. When the defective Obamacare website went online on October 1, 2013, it had already cost $634 
million.

However, David Kennedy, president of the technology firm TrustedSec, said that even if the Obamacare website had worked properly, it should not have 
cost more than $10 million. Luke Chung, president and founder of the technology firm FMS, said he agreed with Mr. Kennedy.

469) Harry Reid, Barbara Boxer, and several other Democratic Senators who voted for Obamacare, have exempted their own staff from Obamacare

In December 2013, Yahoo News reported:

Harry Reid exempts some of his Senate staff from Obamacare exchanges

One of the biggest public supporters of the Affordable Care Act has reportedly decided that some of his staff should be exempted from the new law.

CNN reports that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is the only top congressional leader to exempt some of his staff from having to buy insurance 
through the Affordable Care Act exchanges.

Yahoo News has reached out to the offices of all 100 U.S. senators to see if any other members have exempted committee staff from the federal 
exchange. So far, the offices of 42 senators have responded to our inquiry, with 37 saying that the senator and their entire staff will switch over 
to the exchanges in January.

The offices of Ron Wyden, Tim Johnson, Barbara Boxer, Patty Murray and Thomas Carper, all Democrats, said they were exempting some of their staff. 
Reid, a Democrat from Nevada, has not responded.

However, on December 1, 2013, the New York Times reported:

Insurers Claim Health Website Is Still Flawed

The problem is that the systems that are supposed to deliver consumer information to insurers still have not been fixed. And with coverage for many 
people scheduled to begin in just 30 days, insurers are worried the repairs may not be completed in time.

"Until the enrollment process is working from end to end, many consumers will not be able to enroll in coverage," said Karen M. Ignagni, president of 
America's Health Insurance Plans, a trade group.

The issues are vexing and complex. Some insurers say they have been deluged with phone calls from people who believe they have signed up for a 
particular health plan, only to find that the company has no record of the enrollment.

472) Democratic aides who supported the passage of Obamacare said their new Obamacare premiums are "simply unacceptable"

In December 2013, Politico reported:

Older Hill aides shocked by Obamacare prices

Veteran House Democratic aides are sick over the insurance prices they'll pay under Obamacare, and they're scrambling to find a cure.

"In a shock to the system, the older staff in my office (folks over 59) have now found out their personal health insurance costs (even with the 
government contribution) have gone up 3-4 times what they were paying before," Minh Ta, chief of staff to Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Wis.), wrote to fellow 
Democratic chiefs of staff in an email message obtained by POLITICO. "Simply unacceptable."

In the email, Ta noted that older congressional staffs may leave their jobs because of the change to their health insurance.

473) Members of Congress and their staff are exempt from the income limits for Obamacare subsidies that apply to everyone else

Most people are eligible for Obamacare subsidies only if their income is no more than 400% of the poverty level. For a family of four, 400% of the 
poverty level is $94,200. A family of four with income higher than that amount it not eligible for an Obamacare subsidy.

However, members of Congress and their staff are exempt from this limit. Members of Congress are paid $174,000 a year. Because of their special 
exemption, a middle aged member of Congress who is married and has children, will get a special Obamacare subsidy of $10,000.

474) Obamacare website often doesn't tell insurance companies about customers who "bought" insurance

On December 1, 2013, the New York Times reported:

Some insurers say they have been deluged with phone calls from people who believe they have signed up for a particular health plan, only to find that 
the company has no record of the enrollment.

475) Obama's nominee to head the IRS has "little tax experience"

In December 2013, Reuters reported:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A Senate panel hearing on President Barack Obama's nominee to head the Internal Revenue Service was set to resume Wednesday 
after it was abruptly halted on Tuesday at a Republican senator's request, committee aides said.

John Koskinen, a 74-year-old lawyer with little tax experience chosen by Obama to take over the beleaguered IRS, traveled up to Capitol Hill to face 
the Senate Finance Committee, but the session did not last long.

476) Obama said we should raise the minimum wage, but barackobama.com advertised for "unpaid" interns

In February 2013, Obama said:

"Tonight, let's declare that in the wealthiest nation on Earth, no one who works full-time should have to live in poverty, and raise the federal 
minimum wage to $9.00 an hour. This single step would raise the incomes of millions of working families. It could mean the difference between 
groceries or the food bank; rent or eviction; scraping by or finally getting ahead. For businesses across the country, it would mean customers with 
more money in their pockets. In fact, working folks shouldn't have to wait year after year for the minimum wage to go up while CEO pay has never been 
higher. So here's an idea that Governor Romney and I actually agreed on last year: let's tie the minimum wage to the cost of living, so that it 
finally becomes a wage you can live on."

However, barackobama.com advertised for "unpaid" interns. The bolding is mine:

477) Falsely said that he had never lived with his drunk driving, illegal alien uncle

In 2011, the Obama administration said that Obama had never lived with his drunk driving, illegal alien uncle. However, in December 2013, it was 
reported that Obama actually had lived with him.

478) In New York City, thousands of Obama voting, well educated, upper class professionals complained about losing their insurance because of 
Obamacare

In December 2013, the New York Times reported:

With Affordable Care Act, Canceled Policies for New York Professionals

Many in New York's professional and cultural elite have long supported President Obama's health care plan. But now, to their surprise, thousands of 
writers, opera singers, music teachers, photographers, doctors, lawyers and others are learning that their health insurance plans are being canceled 
and they may have to pay more to get comparable coverage, if they can find it.

"I couldn't sleep because of it," said Barbara Meinwald, a solo practitioner lawyer in Manhattan.

Ms. Meinwald, 61, has been paying $10,000 a year for her insurance through the New York City Bar. A broker told her that a new temporary plan with 
fewer doctors would cost $5,000 more, after factoring in the cost of her medications.

Roy Lyons, managing director of Marsh U.S. Consumer, an insurance brokerage, said he had heard complaints from physicians, lawyers, pharmacists and 
optometrists.

Among those affected are members of the Authors Guild; the Advertising Photographers of America; the Suzuki Association of the Americas, a music 
teachers organization; the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators; the New York City Bar Association; and the New York County Medical 
Society.

It is not lost on many of the professionals that they are exactly the sort of people - liberal, concerned with social justice - who supported the 
Obama health plan in the first place. Ms. Meinwald, the lawyer, said she was a lifelong Democrat who still supported better health care for all, but 
had she known what was in store for her, she would have voted for Mitt Romney.

It is an uncomfortable position for many members of the creative classes to be in.

"We are the Obama people," said Camille Sweeney, a New York writer and member of the Authors Guild. Her insurance is being canceled, and she is 
dismayed that neither her pediatrician nor her general practitioner appears to be on the exchange plans. What to do has become a hot topic on 
Facebook and at dinner parties frequented by her fellow writers and artists.

"I'm for it," she said. "But what is the reality of it?"

479) Washington state's Obamacare website stole money from people's checking accounts

In December 2013, KGW reported that the Obamacare website for Washington state had stolen money from people's checking accounts.

480) Illegally ordered insurance companies to cover "customers" who had never paid any premiums

In December 2013, Obama ordered insurance companies to cover "customers" who had never paid any premiums. Obama's action was illegal because it 
violated the takings clause of the Fifth Amendment. It was also illegal because he did not have approval from Congress.

481) Millennials who voted for Obama and supported the passage of Obamacare did not want to purchase Obamacare insurance for themselves

In December 2013, it was reported that most of the Millennials who had voted for Obama and had supported the passage of Obamacare did not want to 
purchase Obamacare insurance for themselves.

482) Obamcare website violated federal security laws

In December 2013, it was reported that the Obamacare website was in violation of federal security laws.

483) Refused to answer questions about how many of Obamacare's so-called "enrollees" had actually paid their first month's premium

On December 11, 2013, more than two months after the Obamacare website had gone online, the Obama administration still refused to answer questions 
about how many of Obamacare's so-called "enrollees" had actually paid their first month's premium. Instead, the Obama administration was still 
fraudulently counting as "enrollees" people who had put Obamacare policies into their shopping cart without actually paying for them. No legitimate 
online retailer counts unpaid items left in the shopping cart as sales.

484) Illegally delayed Obamacare's online SHOP enrollment by one year

In November 2013, it was reported that Obama had delayed Obamacare's online SHOP enrollment by one year. Because Obama did this without approval from 
Congress, his action was illegal.

485) Ten different Obamacare "customer service" representatives refused to let cancer survivor Lynn Baklor sign up for Obamacare

Lynn Baklor lives in Maryland, and is a survivor of breast cancer. Over a period of two months, she spoke on the phone with ten different "customer 
service" representatives from Obamacare, and none of them allowed her to sign up for Obamacare. The Obamacare website was not working either. A WBAL 
news report on her situation can be seen at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F79acewkZ78

486) Obama's nominee to head the defense department said he did not know much about the military

In January 2013, Chuck Hagel, Obama's nominee to head the defense department, said he did not know much about the military.

487) Federal judge said Obama's bulk collection of phone records was unconstitutional

In December 2013, U.S. District Court Judge Richard Leon said that Obama's bulk collection of phone records violated the fourth amendment's 
prohibition against unreasonable searches. It was Edward Snowden, a former NSA employee, who had first revealed to the public that Obama had been 
engaging in this unconstitutional activity.

488) Gave out even more illegal Obamacare waivers

On December 19, 2013, Obama gave exemptions from the Obamacare mandate to people whose insurance had been canceled due to Obamacare. Because Obama 
gave out these exemptions without approval from Congress, his action was illegal.

489) Obamacare creates a new 2% tax on every insurance plan

Obamacare creates a new 2% tax on every insurance plan. This breaks Obama's promise that he would not raise taxes on families making less than 
$250,000 per year.

490) Obamacare requires some people to pay 19% of their income for premiums

In December 2013, the New York Times reported:

A 60-year-old living in Polk County, in northwestern Wisconsin, and earning $50,000 a year, for example, would have to spend more than 19 percent of 
his income, or $9,801 annually, to buy one of the cheapest plans available there.

491) Six Democratic Senators who voted for Obamacare complained that it was causing voters in their districts to lose insurance

In December 2013, six Democratic Senators who had voted for Obamacare wrote a letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, 
complaining that Obamacare was causing voters in their districts to lose insurance.

492) Admitted that the so-called "Affordable" Care Act was actually "unaffordable" for some people

In December 2013, the Obama administration admitted that the so-called "Affordable" Care Act was actually "unaffordable" for some people.

493) 53% of people without insurance disapprove of Obamacare

In December 2013, the New York Times reported:

Americans who lack medical coverage disapprove of President Obama's health care law at roughly the same rate as the insured, even though most say 
they struggle to pay for basic care, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.

Fifty-three percent of the uninsured disapprove of the law, the poll found, compared with 51 percent of those who have health coverage. A third of 
the uninsured say the law will help them personally, but about the same number think it will hurt them, with cost a leading concern.

494) Under certain circumstances, Obamacare recipients between the ages of 55 and 64 can have their homes seized by the government after they die

Under certain circumstances, when someone between the ages of 55 and 64 participates in Obamacare, then after they die, the government can seize 
their home, preventing their children from inheriting it.

495) PolitiFact repeatedly changed its rating of Obama's promise that people could keep their insurance, based on how many Presidential elections he 
still had left

PolitiFact is a left wing organization that rates the truthfulness of statements made by politicians. Regarding Obama's promise that people could 
keep their insurance, PolitiFact has given out three different ratings.

In October 2008, when Obama still had two Presidential elections coming up, PolitiFact rated his statement as "true."

In June 2012, when Obama only had one more Presidential election coming up, PolitiFact rated his statement as  "half true."

In December 2013, when Obama could no longer run for President ever again, PolitiFact rated his statement as "lie of the year."

In all three of these cases, PolitiFact was rating the exact same statement. So why did they keep changing their rating? The best explanation that I 
can think of is that as Obama had fewer and fewer Presidential elections coming up, they were willing to be more and more accurate in their ratings. 
So only when he was no longer able to run for President again, were they finally willing to admit the truth about his statement.

496) Obamacare supporters at Democratic Underground later complained about it

For some really hilarious displays of shock and outrage by supporters of Obamacare at how it's harming people, check out these threads at Democratic 
Underground: one, two, three, four,  five,  six, and seven.

497) Commander-in-Chief Obama adopted lower military standards so unqualified women could serve in combat

In December 2013, NPR reported:

Starting Jan. 1, every woman in the Marines Corps was supposed to meet a new physical standard by performing three pullups. But that has been put 
off.

The three pullups is already the minimum required for all male Marines. Now the Marine Corps has postponed the plan, and that's raising questions 
about whether women have the physical strength to handle ground combat, which they'll be allowed to do beginning in 2016.

Why does this matter?

Well, the same NPR article continued:

The Marine Corps has been using it to test upper body strength for men for more than 40 years. And that upper body strength, they say, is necessary 
to serve in ground combat: to pull yourself out of a canal in Afghanistan, to climb over a mud wall, to carry an ammunition box.

And a CNS News article on the subject stated:

Pull-ups have been used to test Marines' upper body strength for over 40 years. The ability to pull-up one's own body weight over a bar shows the 
upper body strength that, in combat, is needed to lift fallen comrades, pull one's self over a wall, and carry heavy munitions. Combat Marines also 
carry a pack that weighs around 90 pounds, with gunners carrying an additional 50 or 60 pounds.

In other words, this qualification is by no means trivial. On the contrary, this involves skills that are necessary in combat - necessary for saving 
the soldier's own life, as well as for saving the lives of other soldiers.

Obama, who is Commander-in-Chief of the military, is saying that he's perfectly OK with allowing unqualified women to go into combat, even if it 
means that their lack of qualifications could end up killing them, as well as killing other U.S. soldiers who depend on them.

498) Had double standard for hate crime laws

When someone participated in the so-called "knockout game," the Obama administration filed hate crime charges when a white person attacked a black 
person, but not when a black person attacked a white person.

499) Tried to prevent federal judge from ruling on NSA surveillance

In December 2013, the Obama administration tried to prevent a federal judge from ruling on NSA surveillance efforts.

500) Illegally tried to avoid disclosure of a foreign aid directive that he had signed

In December 2013, a federal judge ruled that Obama's attempt to avoid disclosure of a foreign aid directive that he had signed in 2010 was illegal.

501) Forced a woman to undergo a strip search, an observed bowel movement, and a CT scan without a warrant

In December 2012, federal agents forced a New Mexico woman to undergo a strip search, an observed bowel movement, and a CT scan, all without a 
warrant.

Laura Schauer Ives, the legal director for the New Mexico ACLU, said of this:

"What is truly frightening about this incident is that it could have happened to anyone... The failed drug war and militarized border region have 
created an environment in which law enforcement officials increasingly inflict extreme and illegal searches on innocent Americans."

502) Spent $914,000 to study fictional romance

In December 2013, it was reported that the Obama administration had spent $914,000 to study "romance as told in novels, films, comics, advice books, 
songs, and internet fan fiction."

503) Spent $65 million on television ads to promote tourism in New York and New Jersey

In December 2013, it was reported that the Obama administration had spent $65 million on television ads to promote tourism in New York and New Jersey

504) Spent $1.5 million per year to tell the movie industry how to portray the FBI in movies

In December 2013, it was reported that the Obama administration had spent $1.5 million each year to tell the movie industry how to portray the FBI in 
movies.

505) Threatened to fine Catholic nuns over Obamacare's birth control mandate, all the way to the Supreme Court

Little Sisters of the Poor is a group of Catholic nuns that runs hospice care, i.e., medical care for people who are dying.

Obama doesn't like letting these nuns practice their freedom of religion. He threatened to fine them for violating Obamacare's birth control mandate, 
and planned to take his meddling all the way to the Supreme Court.

506) Michelle Snyder, the Obama official who oversaw the building of the defective Obamacare website, announced her retirement soon after the 
website's defective rollout

In December 2013, Michelle Snyder, the Obama official who oversaw the building of the defective Obamacare website, announced her retirement. Obama 
did not fire her. By retiring, she will be allowed to collect her full pension and benefits.

507) AmeriCorps "volunteers" support Obamacare but want an exemption for themselves

AmeriCorps is a federal agency that pays so-called "volunteers" to do "charity" work.

In December 2013, it was reported that the insurance that AmeriCorps provided to its "volunteers" did not meet Obamacare's minimum standards, and 
that, as a result, these "volunteers" may have to pay the Obamacare tax penalty for not having insurance.

Abby Grosslein, an AmeriCorps "volunteer" who lives in New Orleans, said:

"It would be nice if the government waived the penalty."

Note she she did not say that the penalty was wrong, or that the penalty should be repealed. Instead, she merely wants certain people to be exempt 
from the penalty. This is typical of the huge number of examples on this list of liberals who support Obamacare for everyone else, but want 
exemptions for themselves.

508) Falsely said that he had never set a target of 7 million Obamacare enrollees by March 31, 2014

In June 2013, the Obama administration said that its goal was to have 7 million Obamacare enrollees by March 31, 2014.

However, in December 2013, the Obama administration claimed that it had never said such a thing.

509) May force thousands of volunteer firefighter departments to close

In Janaury 2014, it was reported that thousands of volunteer firefighter departments might be forced to close because they could not afford the cost 
of Obamacare.

510) Falsely said that 2.1 million people had signed up for private insurance under Obaamacare by the end of 2013

At the end of December 2013, the Obama administration claimed that 2.1 million people had signed up for private insurance under Obamacare. However, 
this number included people who had left the insurance in their shopping cart without actually paying for it. No legitimate online retailer counts as 
sales items that people had left in their shopping cart without paying for.

511) Self described "cheerleader" for Obamacare says she can't afford it for her and her son

In January 2014, CBS News reported:

One Oregon mother says that she is unable to afford health insurance for her and her 18-month-old son because it's too expensive.

The woman - who wishes to remain anonymous - tells KOIN-TV that she originally championed President Barack Obama's signature health care law because 
she thought it would help people in her situation.

"I've been a cheerleader for the Affordable Care Act since I heard about it and I assumed that it was designed for people in my situation," she told 
KOIN. "I was planning on using the Affordable Care Act and I had done the online calculator in advance to make sure I was going to be able to afford 
it."

512) Obamacare website can't handle it when someone has a new baby

In January 2014, Associated Press reported:

For now, the HealthCare.gov website can't handle new baby updates

513) Supports bailouts for private insurance companies

In January 2014, it was reported that Obamacare includes bailouts for private insurance companies.

514) Wal-Mart's insurance was better and cheaper than Obamacare

In January 2014, it was reported that the insurance that Wal-Mart had been giving its employees was better and cheaper than Obamacare.

515) Made it far more expensive for parents of disabled children to pay for their health care

The Davert family lives in Bay City, Michigan. They have twins with brittle bone disease.

Under their children's old insurance, the combined expenses for the two children were capped at $2,500 per year. However, Obamacare forced their old 
insurance to be canceled. Under their new Obaamacare insurance, the combined expenses for the two children are capped at $10,200 per year.

516) Illegally extended the Obamacare enrollment deadline for people with preexisting conditions

In January 2014, Obama delayed the Obamacare enrollment deadline for people with preexisting conditions. Because Obama did this without approval from 
Congress, his action was illegal.

517) Gave illegal Obamacare subsidies to people in the 36 states that did not set up their own state exchanges

Only 14 states created their own Obamacare exchange.

As the Obamacare law was written, it says that Obamacare subsidies are to be given out

"through an Exchange established by the State."

Despite the wording of the Obamacare law, Obama illegally gave Obamacare subsidies to people in the 36 states that did not set up their own 
exchanges.

518) Caused Bill Clinton's favorite Washington D.C. restaurant to shut down its buffet

Filomena is Bill Clinton's favorite Washington D.C. restaurant. On January 1, 2014, it shut down its buffet because of Obamacare.

519) Illegally delayed Obamacare's rules on equal coverage

Obamacare prohibits private employers from giving better insurance to top executives than to other employees. In January 2014, Obama delayed this 
provision of Obamacare. Because Obama did this without approval from Congress, his action was illegal.

520) Told reporters to stop reporting his low poll numbers

In Decmember 2013, Joel Benenson, Obama's pollster, told reporters to stop reporting Obama's low poll numbers.

521) Falsely said that he had met his half brother only recently

Obama first met Mark Obama Ndesandjo, his half bother, in the 1980s. However, in 2013, Obama said that the two had recently met for the first time.

522) Spent $544,338 for an "Enhanced Company Profile" on LinkedIn

In January 2013, it was reported that the Obama administration had spent $544,338 for an "Enhanced Company Profile" on LinkedIn.

523) Illegally tried to force private businesses to post pro-union notices

In January 2014, two federal appeals courts struck down Obama's attempt to force private businesses to post pro-union notices.

524) In 2013, Obamacare caused a net reduction in the number of people who had insurance

On January 1, 2014, the Daily Caller reported that during 2013, Obamacare had caused a net reduction in the number of people who had insurance.

525) Criticized the Daily Caller for truthfully reporting that in 2013, Obamacare had caused a net reduction in the number of people who had 
insurance

On January 1, 2014, the Daily Caller reported that during 2013, Obamacare had caused a net reduction in the number of people who had insurance. On 
January 2, 2014, the Obama administration criticized the Daily Caller for truthfully reporting this information.

526) Obamacare website had such horrible security that it was hacked by one person in less than four minutes with nothing but a regular web browser

In January 2014, hacking expert David Kennedy was able to hack into the Obamacare website in less than four minutes, using nothing but a regular web 
browser. During that time, he was able to access the private information of 70,000 people.

527) Obamacare website is exempt from laws that require other websites to report security breaches to their customers

The Obamacare website is exempt from laws that require other websites to tell their customers when their private information has been breached.

528) Less than one third of Obamacare enrollees were previously uninsured

In January 2014, it was reported that less than one third of the people who had enrolled at the Obamacare website were previously uninsured.

529) Gave early release to a lawyer who had been convicted of aiding Islamic terrorists

In December 2013, the Obama administration gave early release to Lynne Stewart, who had been convicted of aiding Islamic terrorists.

530) Forced U.S. taxpayers to bailout Fiat, an Italian company

In January 2014, it was reported that some of the money that Obama had used to bailout Chrysler ended up being used to bailout Fiat, an Italian 
company.

531) U.S. Supreme Court ruled 9-0 against Obama administration's attack on religious freedom

The Obama administration tried to force Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School in Redford, Michigan, to hire someone whom it did not 
want to hire. In January 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 9-0 against the Obama administration's attack on religious freedom.

532) Revoked trademark protection for the Washington Redskins' name because some people thought it was offensive

In June 2014, the Obama administration revoked trademark protection for the Washington Redskins' name because some people thought it was offensive.

This sets a horrible precedent.

Just about every R-rated movie includes content that someone would consider offensive, whether that content be violence, sex, profanity, etc. The 
same can be said for the content of many books, the lyrics of many songs, the content of many paintings, etc. If any copyright, patent, trademark, 
etc., can be revoked because someone finds it offensive, then I can't even begin to imagine how much damage this would cause to the concept of 
intellectual property, as well as to the arts, sciences, music, literature, movies, etc.

There is no such thing as a right to not be offended. The whole point of protecting free speech in the first place is to protect speech that some 
people might find offensive. If we only protected speech that was dull, bland, and non-controversial, there wouldn't be much point to having such 
protection in the first place.

533) Said Osama bin Laden's former bodyguard was no longer a "significant threat" to the United States, and planned to release him

In January 2014, the Obama administration said that Mahmoud Abd Al Aziz Al Mujahid, Osama bin Laden's former bodyguard, was no longer a "significant 
threat" to the United States, and planned to release him.

534) Lied about his involvement with ACORN

During a 2008 debate with John McCain, Obama falsely said that the only time he had ever been involved with ACORN was when he had represented them in 
a lawsuit where they tried to get Illinois to adopt a "motor-voter" law.

In realty, there were several other times that Obama had been involved with ACORN.

For example, Obama had taught leadership training sessions for ACORN.

In addition, Obama had also worked as an organizer for Project Vote, an ACORN offshoot. The New York Times quoted Obama as saying:

"Even before I was an elected official, when I ran Project Vote voter registration drives in Illinois, Acorn was smack dab in the middle of it."

Furthermore, Obama had been on the board of directors of the Woods Fund when it gave ACORN $75,000 in 2001, and $70,000 in 2002.

Also, during the 2008 primary campaign, Obama's campaign had given Citizens Services Inc., an ACORN affiliate, more than $800,000 for "get out the 
vote" efforts. However, Obama's campaign had falsely told the FEC that the money was for "staging, sound, lighting."

535) Although Obama complains about income inequality, his own policies have made income inequality even worse

In January 2014, President Obama complained about income inequality, Wall St., wealthy investors, and bankers.

However, while Senator, Obama had voted for the $700 billion TARP bank bailout bill, which worsened the problem of income inequality, and forced poor 
and middle class taxpayers to bail out the very same Wall St., wealthy investors, and bankers that Obama had complained about.

Obamacare has also worsened the problem of income inequality because it has caused many employers to replace full time jobs with part time jobs in 
order to avoid the Obamacare employer mandate.

536) Accused lenders of "racism" without actually knowing the races of the people who had been "discriminated" against

In January 2014, it was reported that the Obama administration had accused lenders in the auto industry of "racism." However, the auto industry does 
not report or keep track of the race of the people whom it lends money too, and the Obama administration's accusation of "racism" was based on 
guessing the races of the people who had borrowed money.

537) Illegally gave out private info of farmers and ranchers

In July 2012, the Obama administration illegally gave out the home addresses, phone numbers, GPS coordinates, and medical histories of up to 100,000 
agricultural workers.

538) Proposed giving wind farms 30 year permits to kill bald and golden eagles

Federal law prohibits the killing of bald and golden eagles, regardless of whether the killing is done on purpose or by accident. However, in January 
2014, the Obama administration proposed giving wind farms 30 year permits that would allow them to kill these birds.

539) Allowed members of the Muslim Brotherhood, a terrorist organization, to skip TSA screening

The Muslim Brotherhood is a terrorist organization. In April 2012, the Obama administration allowed members of the Muslim Brotherhood to skip TSA 
screening.

Meanwhile, the Obama administration gave a very invasive patdown to a three-year-old boy in a wheelchair, which caused the boy to tremble in fear. 
The Obama administration gave an aggressive patdown to a seven-year-old girl with cerebral palsy. The Obama administration said that a four-year-old 
girl was a "high security threat." The Obama administration placed an 18-month-old girl on its no fly list. The Obama administration gave a patdown 
to Henry Kissinger. The Obama administration forced a 95-year-old cancer patient to remove her adult diaper and fly without it. The Obama 
administration ripped open the urostomy bag of a 61-year-old bladder cancer survivor, and forced him to fly covered in his own urine. The Obama 
administration harassed a sick 3-year-old boy, and caused him to miss his flight.

540) Obama's nominee for ambassador to Norway "displayed total ignorance" about Norway, but he did raise more than half a million dollars for Obama's 
2012 campaign

In January 2014, the Norway edition of The Local reported that George Tsunis, Obama's nominee for ambassador to Norway, had "displayed total 
ignorance" about Norway during a U.S. Senate hearing.  At the same time, the Huffington Post reported that Tsunis had raised more than half a million 
dollars for Obama's 2012 campaign.

541) Obamacare encourages employers to limit the size of their workforce to no more than 49 employees

Obamacare's employer mandate only applies to employers with 50 or more employees. This gives employers an incentive to limit the size of their 
workforce to no more than 49 employees.

542) Spent $2,797,979 so people in Veitnam could watch television

In January 2014, it was reported that the Obama administration had spent $2,797,979 so people in Veitnam could watch television.

543) Obama had anti-Obama filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza arrested for violating campaign finance laws, even though Obama himself had violated campaign 
finance laws three different times without being arrested

In August 2012, Dinesh D'Souza released 2016: Obama's America, a movie that was critical of Obama.

In January 2014, D'Souza was arrested for violating campaign finance laws.

In May 2014, D'Souza pled guilty to violating campaign finance laws.

In September 2014, D'Souza was sentenced to live in a halfway house for eight months, pay a $30,000 fine, perform 260 days of community service, and 
receive counseling.

However, even though Obama himself had violated campaign finance laws on three different occasions (see here, here, and here), Obama never had 
himself arrested.

Numerous legal experts have said that D'Souza's arrest was politically motivated.

Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz said of D'Souza's arrest:

"This is clearly a case of selective prosecution for one of the most common things done during elections, which is to get people to raise money for 
you...If they went after everyone who did this, there would be no room in jails for murderers."

"This is an outrageous prosecution and is certainly a misuse of resources. It raises the question of why he is being selected for prosecution among 
the many, many people who commit similar crimes... This sounds to me like it is coming from higher places. It is hard for me to believe this did not 
come out of Washington or at least get the approval of those in Washington."

Former Federal Election Commissioner David Mason said of D'Souza's arrest:

"What struck me first was that it is unusual in cases like these for the FBI to go out and actually arrest someone, simply because it is not 
necessary... And even less so in this case because [D'Souza] has enough prominence that it is fairly obvious that he is not a flight risk. White-
collar indictments are made lots of times without an arrest being made."

Commenting on D'Souza's arrest, former acting U.S. attorney general George Terwilliger of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius said that there were

"legitimate questions that could be asked about the political motivation for bringing the case."

Dominic Gentile of Gordon Silver, an expert on the enforcement of campaign finance law, conducted extensive research on other people who had done the 
same thing as D'Souza, and concluded:

"Twenty thousand dollars?"I've never heard of a $20,000 criminal case for campaign finance violations."

Those legal experts are correct. The real reason D'Souza was arrested was because he made an anti-Obama movie. As long as Obama never makes an anti-
Obama movie, Obama will never be arrested for this three violations of campaign finance law.

544) Obamacare makes it harder for patients to get knee replacements, hip replacements, angioplasty, bypass surgery, and cataract operations

In January 2014, it was reported that Obamacare makes it harder for patients to get knee replacements, hip replacements, angioplasty, bypass surgery, 
and cataract operations.

545) Obama's administration is "the most secretive White House that I have ever been involved in covering"

In January 2014, New York Times executive editor Jill Abramson said that Obama's administration

"is the most secretive White House that I have ever been involved in covering, and that includes - I spent 22 years of my career in Washington and 
covered presidents from President Reagan on up through now, and I was Washington bureau chief of the Times during George W. Bush's first term."

546) Made even more illegal changes to Obamacare

In February 2014, the New York Times reported:

The "employer mandate," which was originally supposed to take effect last month, had already been delayed to Jan. 1, 2015, and now the administration 
says that employers with 50 to 99 employees will not have to comply until 2016 - allowing Democrats to placate business concerns and pushing the 
issue well beyond this year's midterm elections.

In addition, the administration said the requirement would be put into effect gradually for employers with 100 or more employees. Employers in this 
category will need to offer coverage to 70 percent of full-time employees in 2015 and 95 percent in 2016 and later years, or they will be subject to 
tax penalties.

Because Obama did this without approval from Congress, his action was illegal.

547) Illegally banned employers from firing any of their employees to avoid the Obamacare mandate

In a February 2014 article about Obamacare's employer mandate, the Washington Post reported that Obama had banned employers from "cutting back on 
positions just to fall below the threshold." Because Obama did this without approval from Congress, his action was illegal.

548) Obamacare caused sick children in Seattle, Washington, to lose access to doctors

In February 2014, CBS News reported that Obamacare had caused sick children in Seattle, Washington, to lose access to doctors.

In the report, Dr. Sandy Melzer said:

"The exclusion of a major provider like Seattle Children's from a major insurance network in this market is unprecedented... We're seeing denials in 
care, disruptions in care. We're seeing a great deal of confusion, and at times, anger and frustration on the part of these families who bought 
insurance, thinking that their children were going to be covered, and they've in fact found that it's a false promise."

The report can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0FHI0vFNgY

549) Falsely said that Obamacare "will cover every American"

In June 2007, Obama said

"I will sign a universal health care bill into law by the end of my first term as president that will cover every American."

However, in September 2013, the Washington Post reported

"The Congressional Budget Office estimated back in 2012, before the Supreme Court even gave states the option of opting out of the Medicaid 
expansion, that there would be 27 million people who lacked health insurance coverage under the Affordable Care Act."

550) Obamacare's tax on tanning salons applies to gym members who never use the gym's tanning salons

Obamacare includes a tax on tanning salons, and this tax applies to gym members who never use the gym's tanning salons.

551) Although Obama sued states for their "racist" requirement of voter ID, Obamacare requires ID

Obama's Justice Department blocked Texas's voter ID law, claiming that it was "racist."  Obama also sued North Carolina for requiring voter ID.

However, Obamacare requires people to provide ID.

552) Falsely said, "When I'm president, I will go line by line to make sure that we are not spending money unwisely"

In September 2008, Obama said,

"When I'm president, I will go line by line to make sure that we are not spending money unwisely."

However, if you search this list for the word "spent," you will find many examples of Obama wasting the taxpayers' money.

553) Obama refused to file charges against Hilda Solis, his Secretary of Labor, for illegally avoided reporting thousands of dollars worth of free 
private jet travel

In February 2014, it was reported that during conformation hearings in 2009, Hilda Solis, Obama's Secretary of Labor, had illegally avoided reporting 
to the Federal Election Commission the thousands of dollars worth of free private jet travel that she had been given by the International Union of 
Operating Engineers. Obama refused to file any charges against her.

554) Obama falsely said, "That's the good thing about being president, I can do whatever I want."

In February 2014, Obama said:

"That's the good thing about being president, I can do whatever I want."

Obama was lying. In truth, the powers of the President are defined and limited by the U.S. Constitution. Obama does not have the legal authority to 
do whatever he wants. Unfortunately, that hasn't stopped him from doing a huge number of illegal things that are on this list.

555) Obama's nominee for ambassador to Argentina has never been to Argentina, but did raise more than $500,000 for Obama's re-election campaign

In February 2014, it was reported that Noah Mamet,  Obama's nominee for ambassador to Argentina, had never been to Argentina, but that he had raised 
more than $500,000 for Obama's re-election campaign.

556) Falsely claimed he never said he wanted to "fundamentally transform the United States of America"

Five days before the 2008 election, Obama said:

"We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America."

You can see and hear him saying those exact words in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrefKCaV8m4

However, on February 2, 2014, Obama told Bill O'Reilly that he never said those words. Here is the transcript from the interview:

O'Reilly: OK. I got a letter from Kathy LaMaster, Fresno, California. I said I would read one letter from the folks, all right?

Obama: All right.

O'Reilly: "Mr. President, why do you feel it's necessary to fundamentally transform the nation that has afforded you so much opportunity and 
success?"

Obama: I don't think we have to fundamentally transform the nation.

O'Reilly: But those are your words.

557) Spent $464,272 to find out why gay men in Peru get Syphilis

In February 2014, it was reported that the Obama administration had spent $464,272 to find out why gay men in Peru get Syphilis.

558) Obamacare may cause the government to seize homes from the estates of poor people

Between 1993 and 2013, the state of California seized $978.5 million worth of assets from the estates of medicaid recipients.

Obamacare requires everyone in the U.S. whose income is less than 138% of the poverty level to enroll in medicaid.

Based on those two pieces of information, it seems likely that Obamacare will result in the homes of quite a few poor people being seized by the 
government.

In February 2014, the Los Angeles Times reported:

One thing the ACA didn't change was Medicaid's estate recovery rule. Under a law enacted in 1993, states are required to seek recovery from the 
estates of deceased enrollees for the costs of long-term care, such as nursing-home care. The recovery rule applied to those who received that care 
when they were 55 and older, or who were permanently institutionalized at any age.

Medicaid eligibility for the expanded programs is based on income alone, which means there might be some new members with low incomes but sizable 
illiquid estates, such as homes worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The prospect of asset seizures raises people's hackles, especially since under the Affordable Care Act, those earning less than 138% of the poverty 
level may be offered no choice for subsidized health insurance except Medicaid.

On the whole, the estate recovery program hasn't been a big moneymaker for government at any level. Since 1993, California has collected $978.5 
million

559) Contradicted his own advice that everyone in California should conserve water during the drought

In February 2014, when there was a drought in California, Obama said:

"It can't just be a matter of there's going to be less and less water so I'm going to grab more and more of a shrinking share of water... Instead 
what we have to do is all come together and figure out how we all are going to make sure that agricultural needs, urban needs, industrial needs, 
environmental and conservation concerns are all addressed."

However, during this very same drought, Time magazine reported:

On Saturday, Obama played at the Sunnylands estate, built by the late billionaire Walter Annenberg, which features a nine-hole course that is played 
like 18 holes. The following day he golfed at billionaire Oracle founder Larry Ellison's 19-hole Porcupine Creek. On Presidents' Day, Obama hit the 
links at Sunnylands once again.

The 124 golf courses in the Coachella Valley consume roughly 17% of all water there, and one-quarter of the water pumped out of the region's at-risk 
groundwater aquifer... Each of the 124 Coachella Valley courses, on average, uses nearly 1 million gallons (3.8 million L) a day because of the hot 
and dry climate, three to four times more water per day than the average American golf course.

560) Falsely claimed to have increased the number of deportations of illegal immigrants

In April 2013, it was reported that the Obama administration had falsely claimed to have increased the number of deportations of illegal immigrants.

561) Illegally changed the immigration laws to allow entry into the U.S. by immigrants who had supplied "limited material support" to terrorists

In February 2014, Obama changed the immigration laws to allow entry into the U.S. by immigrants who had supplied "limited material support" to 
terrorists. Because Obama did this without approval from Congress, his action was illegal.

562) Falsely said Obamacare would not cover illegal aliens

In September 2009, Obama said:

"There are also those who claim that our reform effort will insure illegal immigrants. This, too, is false - the reforms I'm proposing would not 
apply to those who are here illegally."

However, in February 2014, the Spanish version of California's Obamacare website said:

"No temas si eres indocumentado/a y quieres inscribir a tu familia en un seguro médico."

In English, this means:

"Fear not if you are undocumented and want to enroll your family in health insurance."

563) A judge who was nominated by Obama confused the Declaration of Independence with the U.S. Constitution in one of her rulings

In December 2010, Obama nominated Arenda L. Wright Allen to be on the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.

In a February 2014 federal court ruling, judge Allen wrote

"Our Constitution declares that 'all men' are created equal"

Those words are in the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution.

It's perfectly understandable why a person with no legal training might make this mistake. But for a federal judge, there's no excuse.

564) Although Obama has always supported the U.S. income tax, he complained about the fact that U.S. Olympic athletes had to pay income taxes on 
their winnings

Obama has always supported the U.S. federal income tax. However, during the 2012 summer Olympics, and then again during the 2014 winter Olympics, 
Obama complained about the fact that U.S. Olympic athletes had to pay income taxes on their winnings.

565) Planned to illegally put government bureaucrats inside TV stations and newspaper offices to monitor their activities

In February 2014, Ajit Pai, a commissioner of the Federal Communications Commission, wrote the following in the Wall St. Journal:

Last May the FCC proposed an initiative to thrust the federal government into newsrooms across the country. With its "Multi-Market Study of Critical 
Information Needs," or CIN, the agency plans to send researchers to grill reporters, editors and station owners about how they decide which stories 
to run.

... the FCC's queries may be hard for the broadcasters to ignore. They would be out of business without an FCC license...

... why does the CIN study include newspapers when the FCC has no authority to regulate print media?

Also in February 2014, the Washington Examiner wrote:

The First Amendment says "Congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press..." But under the Obama administration, the 
Federal Communications Commission is planning to send government contractors into the nation's newsrooms to determine whether journalists are 
producing articles, television reports, Internet content, and commentary that meets the public's "critical information needs." Those "needs" will be 
defined by the administration, and news outlets that do not comply with the government's standards could face an uncertain future. It's hard to 
imagine a project more at odds with the First Amendment.

If the FCC goes forward, it's not clear what will happen to news organizations that fall short of the new government standards. Perhaps they will be 
disciplined. Or perhaps the very threat of investigating their methods will nudge them into compliance with the administration's journalistic agenda. 
What is sure is that it will be a gross violation of constitutional rights.

566) Illegally raised the minimum wage for employees of federal contractors

In February 2014, Obama raised the minimum wage for employees of federal contractors. Because he did this without approval from Congress, his action 
was illegal.

567) Obamacare requires pizza restaurants to post the calorie counts for 34 million different combinations of pizza toppings

In February 2014, it was reported that Obamacare requires pizza restaurants to post the calorie counts for 34 million different combinations of pizza 
toppings.

568) Commander-in-Chief Obama allowed U.S. soldiers to wear Islamic beards, turbans, and hijabs as part of their military uniform

In January 2014, Commander-in-Chief Obama began allowing U.S. soldiers to wear Islamic beards, turbans, and hijabs as part of their military uniform.

569) Illegally gave Massachusetts another Obamacare waiver

In February 2014, Obama gave Massachusetts a three month extension to fix its defective Obamacare website and get people enrolled in Obamacare. This 
was illegal for two reasons. First, Obama did it without approval from Congress. And second, the Constitution requires that federal law apply equally 
to every state.

570) Obamacare prevented Chris Dunn, who was in terrible pain, from getting back surgery

In February 2014, it was reported that Obamacare had prevented Chris Dunn, of Sonora, California, who was in terrible pain, from getting back 
surgery.

571) Obamacare caused leukemia patient Julie Boonstra to lose her insurance

In February 2014, it was reported that Obamacare had caused leukemia patient Julie Boonstra, of Michigan, to lose her insurance. A video of her can 
be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kpjyr1x7mC0

572) Obamacare caused lupus patient Emilie Lamb to lose her insurance

In February 2014, it was reported that Obamacare had caused lupus patient Emilie Lamb to lose her insurance, and that her new insurance was costing 
her an extra $6,000 a year in higher premiums and co-pays. A video of her can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxImgr13N1k

573) More than 12,000 Congressional staffers enrolled in Obamacare's "small-business" exchange even though they did not own or work for a small 
business

In February 2014, it was reported that more than 12,000 Congressional staffers had enrolled in Obamacare's "small-business" exchange even though they 
did not own or work for a small business.

574) Obamacare caused cancer patient and Republican U.S. Senator Tom Coburn to lose his oncologist

Tom Coburn is a Republican U.S. Senator from Oklahoma. He voted against Obamacare. He has prostate cancer. In January 2014, it was reported that 
Obamacare had caused his insurance coverage to be reduced, and his oncologist was no longer covered. Coburn started paying out of his own pocket to 
continue seeing the doctor who was treating his cancer.

575) Obamacare's 29 hour work week disproportionately hurt women

In January 2014, the New York Times wrote:

A "29er" refers to someone working 29 hours per week, the maximum that an hourly employee can work and still be considered part time by the federal 
government, as defined under the Affordable Care Act.

Part-time employees do not create a health-insurance requirement or a penalty for their employer, which gives large and small employers an incentive 
to reduce at least some employees' hours to 29 hours.

I used the Census Bureau's data to put together a sample of people likely to be 29ers over the next couple of years, based on working 30 to 37 hours 
per week before this year and not having health insurance available through a spouse (if married). Women outnumber men more than 2 to 1 among likely 
29ers. The 29ers are also likely to be less than 30 years old.

Naturally, working fewer hours means less pay. By disproportionately reducing women's work hours, health reform may have the unintended consequence 
of increasing the gap between men's and women's wages and salaries.

576) Some Obamacare "navigators" had been previously convicted of identity theft

In January 2014, it was reported that some Obamacare "navigators" had been previously convicted of forgery. In August 2013, it had been reported that 
the Obama administration would not be doing background checks on Obamacare "navigators," despite the fact that these "navigators" would have access 
to people's personal, private, and financial information. Obama considers background checks to be "racist."

577) WTAE shows small business employees complaining about the high cost of Obamacare

WTAE is the ABC TV station in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In this video, they show small business employees complaining about the high cost of 
Obamacare: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuA2_P-m4Sk

578) "Public Sector Cuts Part-Time Shifts to Bypass Insurance Law"

In February 2014, the New York Times reported:

Public Sector Cuts Part-Time Shifts to Bypass Insurance Law

Cities, counties, public schools and community colleges around the country have limited or reduced the work hours of part-time employees to avoid 
having to provide them with health insurance under the Affordable Care Act, state and local officials say.

Among those whose hours have been restricted in recent months are police dispatchers, prison guards, substitute teachers, bus drivers, athletic 
coaches, school custodians, cafeteria workers and part-time professors.

In Medina, Ohio, about 30 miles south of Cleveland, Mayor Dennis Hanwell said the city had lowered the limit for part-time employees to 29 hours a 
week, from 35. Workers' wages were reduced accordingly, he said.

Lawrence County, in western Pennsylvania, reduced the limit for part-time employees to 28 hours a week, from 32. Dan Vogler, the Republican chairman 
of the county Board of Commissioners, said the cuts affected prison guards and emergency service personnel at the county's 911 call center.

In Virginia, part-time state employees are generally not allowed to work more than 29 hours a week on average over a 12-month period. Thousands of 
part-time state employees had been working more than that

To hold down the work hours of school bus drivers, Vigo County has reduced field trips for children and cut back transportation to athletic events. 
School employees who had two part-time jobs totaling more than 30 hours a week - for example, bus driver and basketball coach - were required to give 
up one of the jobs.

The Obama administration says "there is absolutely no evidence" of any job loss related to the Affordable Care Act.

The American Federation of Teachers lists on its website three dozen public colleges and universities in 15 states that it says have restricted the 
work assignments of adjunct or part-time faculty members to avoid the cost of providing health insurance.

The University of Akron, in Ohio, has cut back the hours of 400 part-time faculty members who were teaching more than 29 hours a week, said Eileen 
Korey, a spokeswoman for the school.

579) Kathleen Sebelius falsely said "There is absolutely no evidence - and every economist will tell you this - that there is any job loss related to 
the Affordable Care Act."

In February 2014, Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius said:

"There is absolutely no evidence - and every economist will tell you this - that there is any job loss related to the Affordable Care Act."

However, in November 2012, in response to the Obamacare's medical device tax, some medical device manufacturers announced plans to layoff employees, 
including Welch Allyn (275 planned layoffs), Stryker (1,170 planned layoffs), and Medtronic (1,000 planned layoffs).

In February 2014, it was reported that Obamacare's medical device tax had destroyed 14,000 jobs, and prevented an additional 19,000 new jobs from 
being created.

In December 2012, Al Franken, Elizabeth Warren, John Kerry, and 15 other Democratic hypocrites who supported the passage of Obamacare wrote a letter 
to Harry Reid, asking him to delay the tax on medical devices, claiming that the tax would hurt job creation in their districts.

580) "Labor union officials say Obama betrayed them in health-care rollout"

In January 2014, the Washington Post reported:

Labor union officials say Obama betrayed them in health-care rollout

Leaders of two major unions, including the first to endorse Obama in 2008, said they have been betrayed by an administration that wooed their support 
for the 2009 legislation with promises to later address the peculiar needs of union-negotiated insurance plans that cover millions of workers.

Their complaints reflect a broad sense of disappointment among many labor leaders, who say the Affordable Care Act has subjected union health plans 
to new taxes and mandates while not allowing them to share in the subsidies that have gone to private insurance companies competing on the newly 
created exchanges.

After dozens of frustrating meetings with White House officials over the past year, including one with Obama, a number of angry labor officials say 
their members are far less likely to campaign and turn out for Democratic candidates in the midterm elections.

"We want to hold the president to his word: If you like your health-care coverage, you can keep it, and that just hasn't been the case," said Donald 
"D." Taylor, president of Unite Here, the union that represents about 400,000 hotel and restaurant workers and provided a crucial boost to Obama by 
endorsing him just after his rival Hillary Rodham Clinton had won the New Hampshire primary.

Taylor and Terry O'Sullivan, president of the Laborers' International Union of North America, laid out their grievances this week in a terse letter 
to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.), saying they are "bitterly disappointed" in the 
administration.

581) Illegally seized more than one million dollars in tip money from a stripper

582) Part of the Obamacare website was created by a "repressive dictatorship" in Eastern Europe

In February 2014, it was reported that part of the Obamacare website was created by Belarus, a "repressive dictatorship" in Eastern Europe.

583) 70% of California doctors boycotted Obamacare, but California's Obamacare website falsely said they were participating

In December 2013, it was reported that 70% of California doctors were boycotting Obamacare. However, many of these doctors were falsely listed on 
California's Obamacare website as participating in Obamacare.

584) A self described "complete fan of the Affordable Care Act" who had cancer complained that Obamacare had caused her to lose coverage for her 
oncologist

Danielle Nelson lives in Aliso Viejo, California. She has non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a type of blood cancer. After she found out that Obamacare had 
caused her to lose coverage for her oncologist, she said:

"I'm a complete fan of the Affordable Care Act, but now I can't sleep at night."

585) Caused U.S. ranking in the World Press Freedom Index to fall by 14 places in just one year

The World Press Freedom Index in an annual ranking of countries created by Reporters Without Borders. During just one year of Obama's presidency, 
from 2013 to 2014, the U.S. ranking on the list fell by 14 places, dropping from #32 to #46.

586) During Obama's first five years as President, marketable U.S. debt more than doubled

During the five year period that ended at the end of January 2014, marketable U.S. debt increased from $5.7 trillion at to $11.8 trillion.

587) Obama gave Oregon $304 million to build its defective Obamacare website that enrolled zero people

Obama gave Oregon $304 million to build its defective Obamacare website. As of February 28, 2014, exactly zero people had signed up at Oregon's 
Obamacare website.

588) Illegally shut down a privately owned farm in Tehama County, California

In early 2013, the Obama administration shut down Duarte Nursery in Tehama County, California, without due process.

589) Obamacare's medical device tax destroyed or prevented the creation of 33,000 jobs

In February 2014, it was reported that Obamacare's medical device tax had destroyed 14,000 jobs, and had prevented an additional 19,000 new jobs from 
being created.

590) A convicted terrorist who murdered two people was hired as an Obamacare "navigator"

In Israel, Rasmieh Yousef Odeh was convicted of putting a bomb in a box of candy on a grocery store shelf, which killed two people. In 2013, she was 
hired as an Obamacare "navigator." Obamacare "navigators" are not subject to federal background checks, because Obama considers them to be "racist."

591)  Harry Reid falsely said that "all" Obamacare horror stories were "untrue"

In February 2014, Senate majority leader Harry Read said:

"There's plenty of horror stories being told. All of them are untrue."

You can see him saying it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSJOLivL-NU

He was lying. This list contains many true Obamacare horror stories.

592) Congressman Gary Peters threatened to revoke the licenses of TV stations if they continued airing an anti-Obamacare ad

In February 2014, Congressman Gary Peters (D-Michigan) had his lawyers sent a letter to TV stations, threatening to revoke their licenses if they 
continued airing an anti-Obamacare ad. The ad can see seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kpjyr1x7mC0

593) Obamacare caused Catherine Blackwood to lose coverage for her cancer medications

Catherine Blackwood lives in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and manages the Family Medicine Center. She has cancer. In November 2013, Obamacare caused her 
to lose her insurance policy that had been paying for her cancer medications. Her new Obamacare policy does not cover her cancer medications.

594) Approved giving 200 Abrams tanks to a Shariah dictatorship

Obama approved giving 200 Abrams tanks to Egypt, which is a Shariah dictatorship.

595) Obamacare won't let people switch from one Obamacare plan to another

Andrew Robinson lives in Orlando, Florida. In early 2014, after he enrolled in one Obamacare plan, he changed his mind and decided that he wanted a 
different plan. Over a period of several weeks, he spent 50 hours on the phone trying to cancel his original Obamacare plan, but was not allowed to 
do so.

596) Falsely said "You can't say the Affordable Care Act has killed job growth"

In February 2014, White House health care adviser Phil Schiliro said:

"You can't say the Affordable Care Act has killed job growth."

However, in November 2012, in response to the medical device tax that is part of Obamacare, some medical device manufacturers announced plans to 
layoff employees, including Welch Allyn (275 planned layoffs), Stryker (1,170 planned layoffs), and Medtronic (1,000 planned layoffs).

In February 2014, it was reported that Obamacare's medical device tax had destroyed 14,000 jobs, and prevented an additional 19,000 new jobs from 
being created.

In December 2012, Al Franken, Elizabeth Warren, John Kerry, and 15 other Democrats who supported the passage of Obamacare wrote a letter to Harry 
Reid, asking him to delay the tax on medical devices, claiming that the tax would hurt job creation in their districts.

597) A doctor summed up Obamacare in one sentence

In August 2012, Dr. Barbara Bellar of Chicago, Illinois, summed up Obamacare with the following sentence:

 "So, let me get this straight (this is a long sentence), we're going to be gifted with a healthcare plan we are forced to purchase, and fined if we 
don't, which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written 
by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a congress that didn't read it, but exempted themselves from it, and signed by 
a president who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, for which we will be taxed for four years before any 
benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is 
obese, and financed by a country that's broke... so what the blank could possibly go wrong?"

598) Tried to shut down organic farms that had not done anything wrong

In February 2014, the Los Angeles Times reported:

Now, farmers are discovering that the FDA's proposed rules would curtail many techniques that are common among organic growers, including spreading 
house-made fertilizers, tilling cropland with grazing animals, and irrigating from open creeks.

Suddenly, from small family operations nestled in the foothills of Appalachia to the sophisticated organic-grower networks that serve Los Angeles and 
San Francisco, the farms that celebrity chefs and food-conscious consumers jostle to buy from are facing an unexpected adversary.

They're fighting back. Even though full enforcement of the rules is still years away, they are warning customers that some farms would have to close.

"They are going to drive farms out of business," said Dave Runsten, policy director for Community Alliance with Family Farmers in Davis, Calif.

"The consumer groups behind this don't understand farming," Runsten says. "They talk out of both sides of their mouth. They demand these one-size-
fits-all regulations, then say, 'I don't want to hurt those cute little farmers at the farmers market. I shop at the farmers market.' It is 
frustrating."

Many farmers who take part in the locally grown food movement argue that contamination is a problem of industrial-sized farms and that some of the 
practices the FDA might ban actually make consumers safer.

599) Illegally put the medical and financial information of more than 5,000 veterans on the internet, after ignoring warnings about problems with 
security

In February 2014, it was reported that the Obama administration had illegally put the medical and financial information of more than 5,000 veterans 
on the internet, after ignoring warnings about problems with security.

600) New York Times and Ralph Nader criticized Obama for illegally seizing private property and violating disclosure laws

In February 2014, the New York Times and Ralph Nader criticized Obama for illegally seizing assets from shareholders of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, 
and for illegally avoiding disclosing this information to shareholders.

The fifth amendment requires that compensation be given for such seizures, but Obama did not do this.

Federal disclosure laws require that shareholders be informed of this information immediately, but Obama waited more than three years to tell them.

In February 2014, the New York Times wrote:

Would you buy stock in a company that barred you from sharing in its future earnings? Of course not. Participating in the upside is what stock 
ownership is all about.

And yet, as of December 2010, holders of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac common stock were subject to such a restriction by the United States government. 
They didn't know it at the time, though, because the policy was not disclosed.

This month, an internal United States Treasury memo that outlined this restriction came up at a forum in Washington.

The memo was addressed to Timothy F. Geithner, then the Treasury secretary, from Jeffrey A. Goldstein, then the under secretary for domestic finance. 
In discussing Fannie and Freddie, the beleaguered government-sponsored enterprises rescued by taxpayers in September 2008, the memo referred to "the 
administration's commitment to ensure existing common equity holders will not have access to any positive earnings from the G.S.E.'s in the future."

The memo, which was produced in a lawsuit filed by Fannie and Freddie shareholders, was dated Dec. 20, 2010. Securities laws require material 
information - that is, information that might affect an investor's view of a company - to be disclosed. That the government would deny a company's 
shareholders all its profits certainly seems material, but the existence of this policy cannot be found in the financial filings of Fannie Mae. 
Neither have the Treasury's discussions about the future of the two finance giants mentioned the administration's commitment to shut common 
stockholders out of future earnings.

In February 2014, Ralph Nader wrote:

"What legal authority does the Administration have, as this section of the memo intimates, to completely wipe out shareholders - even after taxpayers 
have been repaid (as is likely to happen soon)?"

"Contrary to this statement, neither the memo - nor Treasury's actions by unilaterally amending the PSPAs - leaves one with the impression that this 
point in the memo is meant to highlight the importance of repaying the taxpayers. It seems to be setting a precedent for using and abusing the GSEs' 
shareholders."

"Taxpayers should recoup their investment in the GSEs; but the Administration does not have to wipe out shareholders in order for this to happen."

"This need not be an issue of choosing taxpayers over shareholders. The federal government has similarly recouped taxpayer money used to bailout 
other corporations (A.I.G., Citigroup, etc.) involved in the financial collapse, but has allowed the shareholders of those companies to share in 
their recovery. The same should be the case with the GSEs."
