PRESIDENT OBAMA: Now, if you have or had one of these plans before the Affordable Care Act came into law and you really liked that plan, what we said was you can keep it if it hasn’t changed since the law passed.

Obama: "What We Said Was You Can Keep It If It Hasn't Changed Since The Law Passed" | RealClearPolitics

The man moves his lips and he lies.

I hope he continues moving his lips, because some people just might figure out the man has no morals. Obama will lie, deceive and weasel about everything and anything. Dead Americans in Benghazi, The Red Line, and this abortion he threw at the country... ObamaKare...

Lies, lies and more lies.

It is probably good for him that he cannot stand for election again. But, of course did not say: "Read my lips".

But tell me about the abortion thing. Does everyone now have to pay for abortions?

My wife said the same thing about the news, "why do theykeep reporting this over and over". It's called "legs". A lie this big does not go away.

Here's what else I don't want: As a 60-something, relatively healthy person, I don't want lactation and maternity services, abortion services, speech therapy, mammograms, fertility treatments or Viagra. I don't want it. So why should I have to tear up my existing health-care plan, and then buy a plan with far more expensive premiums and deductibles, and with services I don't need or want?

Why? Because Team Obama says I have to. And that's not much of a reason. It's not freedom.

Kudlow: Liberal entitlement-state dream is crumbling

Read my lips... cost Bush 41 dearly. That's what happens when you try to get along with Socialists.

They pushed for tax increases, they got them, and then they turned and used it against him.
You cannot trust Socialists. They lie, and lie and lie.

It's amazing how naive that statement is... and it is why Ted Cruz is such a blessing. Finally someone who doesn't want to play the usual games, but is willing to fight in an effort to defeat the Socialist ooze.
 
Re: Obama: "What We Said Was You Can Keep It If It Hasn't Changed Since The Law Passe

GOOD!

No... GREAT! So not even the most blind Socialist can escape the crap bomb Obama and the Socialist of Amerika Partei (SAPs) dropped on the nation.

I'm looking forward to 50 or 100 more until this bit of ObamaKrap is flushed and is heading to the political sewage treatment plant.

Nice you're doing secretarial services for one stop shopping of all the threads.

Keep up the good work!

It goes to the heart of party credibility. That's why so many of the Democrats are in reelection trouble.

Day-by-day, as more folks sign up in the South, you'll see a blue streak moving over Red America..

I see a brown streak running through the shorts of Senate Demokrats.
First Harry Reid's government shutdown, and now a nation filled with ObamaKrap.

Why is there a tide of Demokrats wanting the Ted Cruz Solution?
Ugh... why is there talk about it in... other places?
 
Re: Obama: "What We Said Was You Can Keep It If It Hasn't Changed Since The Law Passe


I would say, Obama and the Dems have to lie to get elected. All the Pubs are doing is pointing out this fact.
 
Re: Obama: "What We Said Was You Can Keep It If It Hasn't Changed Since The Law Passe


That really should be enough. And now we are seeing Democrats talking delay too. Of course, those are just the ones up for election...

But have no feel, as the elections approach we will be certain to remind you who voted for what.
 
Re: Obama: "What We Said Was You Can Keep It If It Hasn't Changed Since The Law Passe

Even the PPACA law has changed since it was passed but that gets little attention now. The number of folks that get screwed in round PPACA one, those that lose their current individual coverage, is tiny compared to the impact that the employer mandate will have. The decision to delay the PPACA employer mandate means that "crap" policies (with their lower cost) may continue for 95% of those currently insured. Imagine what will happen when millions more are forced into the exchanges as employers reduce work hours to avoid the PPACA benefit requirements. At least those that lose their jobs completely can get UI benefits, but those that simply get a pay (work hours) reduction will get nothing except a higher medical insurance bill taken from their reduced earnings.

Dems offer Vitter an Obamacare vote but now Vitter will filibuster his own amendment when it is brought up..Another McConnell jewel..And the Louisville and Lexington papers are trashing their plagiarizing Senator..Rank Paul should come home and see the good news from the ACA with a cooperative GOV

LOL The article fails to mention all the incumbent republicans that are under seige in their own party. If the last election was any indictation, the GOP running extremist candidates is almost a sure win for Democrats in a general election.

Watch the Virginia governor's election today....it's going to be a referendum on the tea party and just a taste of what's coming in 2014.

What he should have said, what an honest man would have said, is:

Now, if you have or had one of these plans before the Affordable Care Act came into law and you really liked that plan, what I should have said was you can keep it if it doesn't change.

See how easy that is? It's not particularly difficult to be honest, but it takes strength of character sometimes.
 
Re: Obama: "What We Said Was You Can Keep It If It Hasn't Changed Since The Law Passe


I, on the other hand, think it's interesting that President Obama had an opportunity to set the record straight and still chose to mince words. Typical human character flaw . . . can't admit he made a mistake. Not the end of the world, of course, but when a "gotcha moment" plays out, one shouldn't keep digging the hole.
 
Re: Obama: "What We Said Was You Can Keep It If It Hasn't Changed Since The Law Passe

So now "Fearless Leader" says to our country "you don't need the internet. You can use mail or walk to the office, there did not used to be an internet" !!!!!! Yeah, that's the ticket prez, but after we walk to the office and stand in line for 28 days then fill out the application doesn't the office person then GO ON THE INTERNET TO FILE IT??!! When GWB was in office as a conservative I was at times embarrassed to hear his words but Obammy makes him look like a genius.

He would have gotten voted out had he been honest
 
Re: Obama: "What We Said Was You Can Keep It If It Hasn't Changed Since The Law Passe

The faithful are already believing his excuses of what he said, and what he meant.
So, all is good in liberal land.
Its not a lie if you can cover it with some fancy back peddeling. Period.

That's my thoughts on it too Maggie. Obama had a chance at real damage control, but he took the "play on words" route instead.

I think the reason he didn't do it is he felt the Republicans would just hammer him on it, but they are going to hammer him no matter what he says or does so he should have just done the right thing. It won't matter to some that are hardline supporters because like some Bush followers they have the "Us is better than them" mentality.

The same exact things happens when a Republican is president. There will ALWAYS be supporters that will support a president no matter what happens. This isn't exlusively a liberal thing, the right did the same thing with Bush when they voted for him a second time. They used the excuse "Well he is better than Kerry" totally ignoring the actions of the president.

Wow, you libs are still on that Bush trip. Cant defend Obama's actions and lies. But can go back in history to what some other president did or didnt do.
Your president flat our lied over and over about this health care law and now its catching up to him and he is lying to smooth it over.
Not even caring that what he said is on tape. Just lie some more.

Not a play on words, that is a Clinton move.
Obama straight up lied.
