Politifact’s rating of the famous Obama promise “if you like your plan you can keep it” has gone through a heck of an evolution in the past five years.

In October of 2008 “if you like your plan you can keep it” was totally true:

Less than four years later, in June of 2012 it was downgraded to “half true” (“true,” but only for the people who could manage to keep their plans):

Now, “If you like your plan you can keep it” has been deemed 2013′s “Lie of the Year”:

When Obama had two elections coming up, they rated his statement as "true." When he only had one election coming up, they rated his statement as "half true." Now that he can't run for any more elections, they finally admit that his statement was "false."

HA! How funny! An amazingly obvious example of leftist bias on display, even more clear than is usually seen.

No points for eventually getting it right here, Politifact. You have been exposed as the fraud shill you are.

They also rated Palin’s “Death Panels” as the lie of the year, but today even Lib’s talk about the Death Panels created under Obamacare. The leftist activists who control Wikipedia have prevented the article on Death Panels from reflecting anything except their propaganda.

They “got it right” only after “getting it right” wouldn’t stop it dead in its tracks.

Politifact had two choices:

1. Pick "If you like your plan . . . " as Lie of the Year or,

2. Destroy all of their credibility.

I wonder how much it hurt them to do that.

Politifact is saying “mission accomplished”. Their lies held up their messiah long enough to keep the communist in power.
