Obama health care promise named 'Lie of the Year'


Source: NBC News

Fact-checking organization Politifact has named their “Lie of the Year,” and it’s bad news for the White House and the Affordable Care Act.
 
President Barack Obama’s often-repeated assertion that “If you like your health care plan, you can keep it,” won the ignominious honor for 2013, the group announced.
 
In a blog post, Politifact– which is affiliated with the Tampa Bay Times – said Obama’s promise was “impossible to keep” and has resulted in a “real hit to his credibility.”

2. Politifacts gets lots of things wrong

they are a corporate run outfit. thus, they are not unbias.

Really? Because I see it being cited over and over at the Hive when it confirms what you believe.

3. Why is it when a Democrat says something that ultimately doesn't happen it's a "lie"???

Um, because it is?

5. I'm curious why you would post this.

It sounds like something that would be a headline at freerepublic. Maybe we should have a thread about his poll numbers and scowling Michelle?

Don't you already have those?

If he's really been on 12 years, the 'bogus' no doubt refers to W.  Of course the bulk of the DUmmies are too stupid and reactive to do anything but assume it's a reference to the current figurehead immediately started flinging poo.

When there's nothing in the head to begin with, there's little chance of it exploding.

DUmmies fit this category perfectly.

If you Proglodytes are so worried about Obama being called a liar support passing a law that forbids forcing insurance policies to add on coverage people don't want

Orwell touched on it a little bit in 1984. In the DUmmies case instead of Doublethink we can call it DUhblethink.

0 lied about WMDs also?

I know the DUmmie has to be talking about 0 and not W because it is my understanding that WMDs were indeed found in Iraq. Maybe not the quantity and quality expected, but they were there.

32. What "promise"? I don't see where he used that word.

 I welcome their hatred

Barry would have had to have said If you like your health care plan, you can keep it, I promise for it to be a promise according to L0oniX .  It's too bad Barry didn't hook pinkies with Dingy Harry and Stretch Pelosi and make a pinky swear, then we'd have them all busted in a lie.
