Here's what President Barack Obama should have said, "If you like your insurance plan you can keep it — if it's not a junk policy."
He could have used more elegant language than that, but you get the idea.
Sometimes he even added: "(P)eriod. No one will take it away. No matter what."
I don't feel good about calling out the president's whopper, since I support most of his policies and programs. But in this instance, he would have to be delusional to think he was telling the truth.

The White House, the home of the whopper.
A junk policy, like a plan for a single man without maternity or birth control coverage?
They provide coverage you don't want and can't use just to increase the pool so that high risk people can get lower premium, at your expense.
"Here is a guarantee that I've made. If you have insurance that you like, then you will be able to keep that insurance. If you've got a doctor that you like, you will be able to keep your doctor. Nobody is trying to change what works in the system. We are trying to change what doesn't work in the system." - King Zer0

He has told a multitude of whoppers, and will continue to do so ... he can’t help himself. Pathological liar comes to mind.
He will say anything to forward his socialist agenda.
I am at a loss how a “journalist” like Clarence Page even looks themselves in the mirror. They knew the SOB lied and they also know they are less honorable than prostitutes to not point it out. They know they’d have crucified Bush for anything remotely close. I have more respect for crack whores than people who in the media.
Wow, Black on Black truth telling! Wonder if Page has someone to taste his food and start his car?
How FUBAR can it get??!!
I don't feel good about having a president whose policies and programs go perfectly with whoppers.
Bingo.
And who decides what is a “junk policy”?
Obamacare will NEVER work! Then who gets the blame? From what we’ve witnessed it certainly won’t be the head idiot. You know, the lying sack of crap.
Being black sure has a lot of political advantages these days doesn’t it?
Seems like Obama’s inner circle of Alinskyites are not so subtly trying to incite rioting in America, so they can move to higher levels of absolute power to “restore order.”
Politicians have been dictating to us on health insurance for a long time. At the state level, legislators bow to lobbyists who insist that their particular mode of treatment be covered, then there are people who insist that various tests be covered, and then there people with various ailments that they want covered. There hasn’t been a free market in health insurance in decades, and that is why it became so expensive and complicated. We’ve already had a socialized health insurance market, and it’s failing.
So, as people do, they ask for more government to fix the problems government caused in the first place. Will they ever learn?
