Uncommon Commentary #377: "The President Is a Liar. Period."
It's
been said that actions speak louder than words.
Similarly, an apology (even a genuine one) usually means nothing unless
it is accompanied by correction of behavior.
President Obombast's "apology" to the millions of persons
drowning in the deluge of health-insurance cancellations was just an expression
of regret for their misfortune; he neither confessed personal responsibility for the
situation nor admitted that he had repeatedly lied in denying that such a
situation would develop (or, later, that it had developed). If he were
sincerely sorry for those affected adversely by his legislative monstrosity, and
if his ego were not larger than his country, he would ask Congress to repeal
the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (known informally as ObamaCare and to me as ObamaCareless), before it claims any more victims.
