(CNSNews.com) - Rep. Bart Stupak (D.-Mich.) told CNSNews.com that President Barack Obama told him in a telephone conversation that when he said in his Sept. 9 speech to a joint session of Congress that “under our plan no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions” he was not talking about the actual bill drafted in the House but about the president’s own health care plan—which has never been written.

“I don’t know if it is a game of semantics or what,” Stupak said of Obama’s nationally televised declaration to Congress that the health-care plan will not allow federal funding of abortion.

Yeah.... that's the ticket

[Da Coyote]

Does anybody believe the village idiot any more?

[GOPPachyderm]

similar to the meaning of “is” dialog of a few years back....

[Houghton M.]

Depends what the meaning of is is, I suppose.

[WHBates]

I guess there may be some but I don’t run into many.

[smonk]

[The Comedian]

He was for it, before he was against it...

Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

From the text of his spewage............

And one more misunderstanding I want to clear up – under our plan, no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions, and federal conscience laws will remain in place.

Pretty soon there will be no one who trusts this guy.

[hole_n_one]

Go back to sleep.

'And when I pointed this out, he (Obama) said: ‘Go back and work with the people on your committee and get this matter worked out. Work with the speaker. Work with us, would you?’ And I said: Yes, I would. And we have tried. But we haven’t been able to resolve our differences because we do not want public funds going for abortion.”

For a Democrat this guy is seems better than most. A little naive but not evil.

[Bullish]

Every time Obama opens his pie hole it’s a game of semantics.

[Bullish]

Hey, you owe Earl Scheib a big apology.

[kittymyrib]

Bart Simpson would know by now that BO is a liar. Bart Stupak is still guessing.

[norton]

Not sure this is worth reporting.
It was apparent when he made the statement that his plan ... etc.
It has also been apparent that the plan was to come from congress' left wing(s).

Years from now he'll be telling people that it was out of his hands.

[Lorianne]

They’ve playing that game for months now with a lot of issues. People who question/protest certain aspects are told, “there isn’t even a bill yet” (Sebelius) ... and then they turn around and ask “where is the Republican bill” ... as if they don’t have a 2 dozens “bills” rambling around.

It’s all a game to confuse the citizenry.

And they won’t post various bills for review and discussion.

Transparency my @ss.
