Mika Brzezinski channeled the frustration of many liberals this morning when she gave what has to be the best reaction yet to New York Magazine’s supercut of President Obama telling Americans that if they like their current health care plan they can keep it.
Joe Scarborough set up the clip, in which the president says repeatedly over the course of four years that under the Affordable Care Act people who already have health insurance and want to keep their plans will be able to. As we have learned over the last few weeks, insurance companies have been terminating plans that don’t measure up to the Obamacare standards. Whether this development is the fault of the Obama Administration or the insurance industry is up for debate, but the reality is that Obama’s definitive statement is proving to be false.
Here’s how Brzezinski reacted once the montage ended, much to surprise of her co-host and guests:
Even Chris Matthews couldn’t defend the president’s promises about keeping health care plans, but later in the segment Ezekiel Emanuel argued that it was the insurance companies, not President Obama who should take the blame for the contradiction. “The law did not kick anyone off their plan, the law did not say you have to cancel those plans,” he said. “Who’s making that change? The insurance companies.”
“You’ll like this ‘Mika hitting herself’ gif ....” ping.
Legalese for lying to get the another party to act in a way beneficial to the liar.
Notice how the liberal media are only concerned about the “optics” of him lying. Not concerned about the fact that they continually lied to the American people in order to get it barely passed by a pure partisan vote.
Imagine at the time if they would have told the American people if you like what you currently, you CAN’T keep it.
O’s statement will go down in history along side Klintoon’s “I did not have sex with that woman” and Papa Bush’s “Read my lips, no new taxes”.
If the Republicans had any sense, which they don’t, they would run this as an ad. Just the Big One making his false promises. No commentary. Nothing else. Just the montage.
Maybe that will convince a few million people that they elected a big mistake in 2008 and 2012.
And “I’m not a crook”
gee...not a lot of people of color in that clip (snark)
Me included.
Actually, no it's not. It's just another lie.
Because of some of the laws in the o care, the insurance companies had to drop their clients or raise their rates to a point their clients couldn’t afford. Are there any truth
tellers in the liberal media?
Slithering weasels trying to not be held accountable or culpable to Obamacare in which they forced on America day after day after day for the last 5 years.
The media leftists and Obama-lovers should be smacking themselves
The hits are going to keep on coming, so she might as well get used to them and start reporting all of them.
No way Obamacare ever gets passed without that lie!
My favorite. And every time that deranged nitwit Pelosi speaks, I envision that scene.
If they were actually honest, they’d never see the halls of power - ever, but...
if they were honest in this case, they’d actually state what some of their defenders are stating -
“We know better than you do what kind of insurance you need, so just obey us.”
Now, I use that with my children, but they’re all... well, CHILDREN. And they’re MY children, so I have a duty to shepherd them that way.
The American people are NOT children.
Obamacare needed good little sheeple everywhere in order to do anything close to what it was formulated to do.
Now that said sheeple are acting more like herds of cats, Obama is busy blaming people for not being sheeple.
