Barack Obama didn’t know how to govern, nor did he know how to be an effective leader. Now that he’s out of office, America is learning how much taxpayer money he wasted to promote the failed Obamacare program.
Obama and his cohorts spent over $75 million dollars of your money to promote his Obamacare disaster, while Americans lost homes and jobs and families split because of finances.
The way Obama did it was even more sinister. Not only did the company contracted to promote this program received a huge payday, but the Chairman also got a much larger perk.

The Obama administration doled out more than $77 million to promote the former president’s signature health-care legislation in what could be its final full year of existence, contracts obtained by The New York Post showed.
They show the federal government contracted with Democratic-leaning public relations firm Weber Shandwick to spend $74.15 million on July 28, 2016, and another $3.69 million on Sept. 9, 2016, promoting the plan.
The Weber Shandwick contract was signed by Pam Jenkins, president of the firm. Its chairman, Jack Leslie, was picked by Obama in 2009 to be chairman of the US African Development Foundation.
Leslie donated $1,000 to Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign and $2,700 in December 2015 to Hillary Clinton’s failed presidential campaign.
Cronyism like this is always discovered after the smoke clears, and it’s too late to do anything. Americans then feel cheated of justice, so when this happens again, the sting won’t be as hard, and sooner or later, a lot of these exposures are placed into the “I don’t care” department.
How do you feel about Obama using American millions to finance the advertisement and push of his idea which cost employees and families their livelihood?
