Obama in 2008: If government can mandate healthcare, it could mandate buying a house

barack obama in 2008

Candidate Barack Obama appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres Show back in in February 2008.

Here’s a clip from that show in which he uses the same argument against the individual mandate that Judge Robert Vinson used to overturn ObamaCare.

Here’s another clip from the same show. In this one, Obama dances – much like he will have to tap dance around this inconsistency in his core beliefs.

  • Why that was the Old Barry, we now have the New Barry. The fresher more communist Barry.

    A communist will lie to you until you are dead from them.

    I believe Janis Joplin had a song called " Lord want you buy me a Merceedes Benz" Barry's version is You will buy what I tell you to Lord Obama.

  • Not according to Robin Roberts of ABC, who made fun of a scrambling Danny Marino when he ran out of bounds and tripped trying to jump over bench.

    • Yeah, but Dan the Man is not a Larry Bird either! Just like Bart Starr was no "Pistol Pete" Maravich. I didn't say all white boys could jump nor did I say all black men can dance. I would be a liar if I made such a statement and I don't lie.

      • How in the world do I get a "thumbs down" for pointing out a BAD joke that Robin Roberts made while she was on ESPN?

        She said it, not me.

  • So it is true. We just needed Obama to prove it so.

    Not ALL Black men can play hoops, nor can they all dance!

  • a shinning example of the obama's never ending campaign, making promises, explaining his lies and continuing with his incoherent rhetoric while attempting to be all things to all people while lacking ability, experience, ethics, morality or even the smallest seeds of patriotism to America. He is a stooge, purchased outright by the unions, big business and outside investors. His redistribution of wealth is well on its way to destroy the economics of our country. He is the greatest threat to the constitution and freedom that has ever faced the United States.
