Keep your doctor and your health plan? Not likely.
"All we've been hearing the last three years is if you like your policy you can keep it.... I'm infuriated because I was lied to," one woman told this newspaper, as part of a story on how some middle-class Californians have been stunned to learn the real costs of Obamacare.
And that lie looks like the biggest lie about domestic policy ever uttered by a U.S. president.
The most famous presidential lies have to do with misconduct (Richard Nixon's "I am not a crook" or Bill Clinton's "I did not have sexual relations") or war. Woodrow Wilson campaigned on the slogan "He kept us out of war" and then plunged us into a calamitous war. Franklin D. Roosevelt made a similar vow. "I have said this before, but I shall say it again and again: Your boys are not going to be sent into any foreign wars."
Roosevelt knew he was making false promises. He explained to an aide: "If someone attacks us, it isn't a foreign war, is it?" When his own son questioned his honesty, FDR replied: "If I don't say I hate war, then people are going to think I don't hate war.... If I don't say I won't send our sons to fight on foreign battlefields, then people will think I want to send them…. So you play the game the way it has been played over the years, and you play to win."

It’s called Obonics. You take what he says and turn it around 180 degrees and you have the truth.
“I’m infuriated because I was lied to...?” Really? Who did you vote for? Anybody with a pea brain knew what this whack radical ex-aclu lawyer would pull!!! I’m guessing all the idiots who voted for him will yell the loudest because they belived his BS...Elections have consequences and unfortunately this lying Chicago dog turd has been unleashed in your wallet!...Good luck America!
Sheesh. Obamaturd lied again? That’s the 1000th for the week now.
I thought the LAT said they wouldn’t allow any editorials contrary to their POV. I hope this is wrong, but that’s what I thought we read here last week.
I'm infuriated because this woman was too lazy to use her brain and figure out what the rest of us knew three years ago, and went to the polls to vote for Obama again a full two years after this train wreck became law.
My question is: why wouldn’t he? He keeps getting away with it. And Republicans can’t do anything to stop him no matter what he does.
That's my prayer every night, that He will open the minds of the people, our leaders, and the media. And that we will stay free and turn back to Him.
The MSM jumped all over Bush’s “Read my lips, no new taxes”, but, they give Obama multiple passes every week.
Sooo, dutiful hacks from the Dim party announce “important” crap about other issues and their minions in the MSM print that drek on the front page and relegate the news about Obama to the 4th page of the Home section.
I think the vast majority of RINOs don't really want to stop him. They are in on it.
It’s been scrubbed.
“Obonics”. Excellent. Excellent. Added to my lexicon.
Really?..I'm thrilled!....lol..
it takes a couple of muggings to convert a liberal, but convert they will..when it affects “THEIR” wallet
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
I always said the LIVs will have to feel pain before they wake up.
Yep.
Burn baby burn.
This woman is upset because she was lied to. Ha! If she could, she’d vote for him again. I know people who will bitch but still vote for him. I also know people who are just plain in love with him. And I know people who just plain hate conservatives.
