Obama delegate lies, claims to be physician at town hall meeting

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009 | Health Care, Politics |

Roxana Mayer identified herself as a “pediatric primary care physician” at a Houston town hall meeting on government healthcare and that’s how the press reported it. She now admits she is not and never has been a doctor. Instead, she was Obama’s registered delegate in Texas.

Patterico’s got the story. Me, I’ve got a prediction.

During the Bush years we saw lots of phony anti-war soldiers - people like Micah Wright and Jesse Macbeth who lied about their service and made up atrocities to fit an anti-war narrative. With healthcare front and center I expect to see more fake doctors shilling for Obamacare. Roxana Mayer is just the first.

LATER: Patterico found the video.

After Mayer says she’s a primary care physician, Rep. Sheila Jackson (D-TX) leads a round of applause, thanking her for being a primary care physician and hugging her. Jackson asks Mayer how long she’s been practicing. Answer: “Four years.”

Roxanna Mayers also attended college for a very long time where Rep. Lee’s husband works. If she was a delegate for Obama, did she attend any functions or celebrations that Lee was at? Mayers is also a social worker, I wonder which district she works in?
Just wondering in writing.

Is this the kind of fishy thing Obama wants us to report to the white house? LOL

I’m aware Texas has a law against this and I’m sure this is also frowned upon in the rules for social workers. Does anyone out there know how and where to file a complaint against this liar?

Under the heading of FYI:Just heard Obama is going to hold a couple more campaign rallies, I mean town hall meetings. Robert Gibbs has said they will be using the same ticket method again. He has said 70% of tickets will be issued through the web site and the remaining 30% will be going to other democratic politicians and democratic supporters of the bill. In my opinion this is stacking the deck in his favor. Even IF they split 70% of the tickets 50/50 that still would result in 65% of those attending would be supporters of his plan.
