Here’s Ed Henry of Fox News picking up right where my last post left off. Everyone remembers Obama endlessly promising in the run-up to O-Care’s passage that you’ll be allowed to keep your plan if you like it. What you may not remember, but which righties like Charles Cooke of NRO are reminding people about on Twitter today, is that The One was unusually unequivocal in making that promise. Go look at the long list of quotes compiled at the end of this recent post at Forbes. Here’s my favorite, from his address to the AMA in June 2009:
“No matter how we reform health care, we will KEEP THIS PROMISE to the American people: If you like your doctor, you will be able to KEEP YOUR DOCTOR. Period. If you like your health care plan, you will be able to KEEP YOUR HEALTH CARE PLAN. Period. NO ONE WILL TAKE IT AWAY. NO MATTER WHAT. My view is that health-care reform should be guided by a simple principle: Fix what’s broken and build on what works.”
Valerie Jarrett: OCare doesn’t force you off your plan; your Ins. Co. does, by complying w/OCare!

And, yes, the Obama administration knew it just as sure as its critics did. It was a lie and an obvious one, but the administration, much of the media, and Obamacare supporters happily acted as if it were true and...
