The White House on Wednesday declined to challenge an account in a new book that suggests that President Obama, in his campaign to overhaul American health care, mischaracterized a central anecdote about his mother’s deathbed dispute with her insurance company.
During his presidential campaign and subsequent battle over a health care law, Mr. Obama quieted crowds with the story of his mother’s fight with her insurer over whether her cancer was a pre-existing condition that disqualified her from coverage.
In offering the story as an argument for ending pre-existing condition exclusions by health insurers, the president left the clear impression that his mother’s fight was over health benefits for medical expenses.
But in “A Singular Woman: The Untold Story of Barack Obama's Mother,” author Janny Scott quotes from correspondence from the president’s mother to assert that the 1995 dispute concerned a Cigna disability insurance policy and that her actual health insurer had apparently reimbursed most of her medical expenses without argument.

No shocker here.
It’s par the course for sociopaths to lie even about the most easily verified things.
The bigger the lie...
*yawn* Fake but accurate. Move along, nothing to see...
The kenyan lied about his own mother and using her death to sell one of his commie programs. That’s how much of a lowlife this POS P-resident is..
Everything you have been told about Obama has been a lie.
When the first executive order he signed upon taking office was an executive order to hide his records, you should have taken notice.
We have a fraud holding the office of Presdident of the Unitied States.
It has to end after one term.
He has done enough damage.
It doesn’t matter because the lie was for a good cause. /s
I remember similar arguments were made for Clinton - i.e. his perjury didn’t matter because he was for “a woman’s right to choose” (to murder her baby).
If that Marxist POS told me the sun just rose in the east,I’d go check for myself.
I had to look twice when I saw MSNBC gave this story press coverage.
there are those who don’t even believe that the mother of Barry Soetoro is really dead - never any funerals or viewings for Barry’s relatives - just quick cremations...or not...
Remember Al Gore telling the story of tobacco killing his sister... holding her in his arms... promising he’d go after the tobacco industry. Except he was some 1000 miles away at a dinner or something. It’s the EMOTION that matters, not the truth.
When You ccan lie about your dying other, I guess you can and will lie about eveything else that suits your agent.
Doesn’t the means justify the ways?
From your lips/fingers to God’s ear.
Of course, he lies. He lied about his birthplace, his education and just about everything else personal. And as president, he has lied about his so-called health care reform, the stimulus, the budget, on and on ad nauseum.
I guess when you are the Gangsta-in-Chief you have to develop skills as a liar.
I can’t wait for the 60 Minutes segment on this filthy lie that helped get him elected.
Oh wait.....
The koran encourages Muslims to lie to the infidel and that doing so is desirable to achieve Muslim ends.
Perhaps more people should think about what that really means.
Yeah but he didn't sell her soul yet!!!! Let's wait to see what develops.
