Judge Jeanine Pirro Rants About Obama Lies During Opening Statement

Transcribed from Justice with Judge Jeanine Pirro - Opening statement from her program on 11-23-2013. Ann Coulter was the special guest that appeared right after Judge Pirro's statement. Ann was very impressed after hearing Judge Jeanine's words and so was I;  enough that I stayed up late to transcribe it so that I could share it with you. Enjoy!

Begin transcription:

 "Hello, I'm Judge Jeanine Pirro. Thanks for being here tonight.

 He did it again. President Obama, who knew for three years, that Americans, even if they liked their health care plan, would not be able to keep it, continued to lie - saying that they could. And he just did it again.
 And although he said that he truly believed that Americans could keep their heath care plans, he now admits he was 'inaccurate'. So why was he inaccurate?


 Why can't we keep our health care plans if we like them? Why?

 Because Mr. 'Transparency' himself changed the fine print. And made believe that he didn't know anything about it.

 (Saturday Night Live Video Clip of Used Car salesman inserted) He (President Obama) changed the rules so that we could NOT keep our health care plans. Shock ... he lied again!

He lied about that awful video in Benghazi. He lied about getting to the truth about the IRS. And he lied to us about what most of us consider sacred - our family's health.

Now, how do I know this? I know it because his own justice department, in legal papers filed in federal court, admitted most health plans would lose their grandfather status by the end of 2013.

(Slide showing government quote: "Even under the grandfathering provision, it is projected that ... A majority of group health plans will have lost their grandfather status by the year 2013")

So, Mr. President, we finally know where you draw the line on lies. Lie to the American people? No problem. Lie to congress? No Problem. Lie to an oversight committee? Not a problem. But even you know no to lie to a federal judge in federal court.

And mind you - it's not only the five percent, as you say, who have their own plans, that you now admit will lose coverage, but all of us. Including well over 100 million American workers who get coverage through their employers who will lose their grandfather protection status. Except, of course, you Mr. President, your staff, congress, their staff and those union friends of yours.

But you say that we should welcome the new mandate. That it will bring better health care and lower premiums to us. Now how could that possibly be? There is no way that these plans could be cheaper. Why? Because they have to include stuff that we don't need.

Now - I'm guessing - if you're a senior citizen, you probably do not need pediatric dental care. False teeth - maybe. But not pediatric dental care. And I'm guessing that if you're a gay man you probably don't need labor room and delivery benefits. And if you're a post-menopausal women, I'm guessing that you probably don't need maternity benefits. Maybe a few fans or air conditioners - but not maternity benefits.

 And the depths that you, Mr. President, went through to perpetuate this lie is only outdone by the ineptitude of your administration to even make good on your signature legislation. Now what do I mean by that? How do you spend more than 600 million dollars on website that doesn't work? Why do you hire a Canadian company that even Canada fired - with a French name that nobody can pronounce - through a NO BID CONTRACT. Why would you even go out of the United States - the home of Amazon and Google and hire a foriegn company?

And this week, we find out that your own FBI has been investigating one of your website contractors for fraud. The same contractor repeatedly written up in trade journals and exposes' for low balling bids to win contracts - only to have the final cost balloon exponentially. But I'll bet that you're going to get to the bottom of this and you're going to hold people accountable.

 But why would I believe that since you permitted navigators with criminal convictions to gather our personal, private information to put on a website that doesn't work? Why would you do this?

Why lie about something that you know will ultimately be exposed as blatantly untrue? Why lie about a video in Benghazi? Why lie about your IRS targeting your political opponents? Why?

So that you, Mr. President, can win an election.

This week an ABC/Washington Post poll found that had the health care lie been exposed before Nov 2012, Romney would have won the election 49% to 45%.

And Benghazi? Of course you had to say that it was a video. If you admitted that you knew Al Quida had killed four Americans then I guess your Osama Bin Ladin narrative wouldn't have been so ... 'compelling'.

 And if the IRS hadn't targeted your political enemies during your election which, by the way, was pretty close, we might have also had a completely different result. So now that you've been forced to admit the lie, even your own party is panicked. They are scared.

The sycophants who touted your health care bill, including Senator Mary Landrieu, Congressman Nick Rahall - they're jumping ship.

What to do going forward?

Now yesterday you gave us an extra month next year to sign up for Obamacare. You say it's 'good news' for consumers because we'll have more time to learn about the plans before enrolling.

 You know, my Dad, rest in peace, always told me there are two reasons for doing things: A good reason and the real reason. The real reason? The one month would move the start of the 2015 enrollment and the inevitable increase in premiums to after the 2014 mid-term elections. Now isn't that special?

Mr. President, with all due respect, you have done nothing but pull the wool over American's eyes in your relentless pursuit of power. Whether it was the nuclear option this week in the senate or trying to convince the American public that we couldn't have saved those four Americans that we now know that were begging for help in Benghazi.

You came into office claiming that you would give the American people the most transparent administration in history. That's one of the few things that maybe you didn't lie about. Except the transparency is about you. You are the one that's transparent. And Americans now see right through your lies."
