Let's clear up some foggy prevarications polluting President Obama's ongoing snow job for ObamaCare:
If you tell a spouse you're going to Sam's Club when you really mean Costco, that's no big deal. Those membership stores are the same, except one peddles better hot dogs. That's called misspeaking.
However, if you're president of the United States peddling a legislative tumor like ObamaCare, one that you know will drastically change almost one-fifth of the nation's economy, one that openly claims to help a few million uninsured Americans while secretly disrupting the lives, families, finances and medical care of more than 100 million Americans, and you say things like this:
“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’ll be able to keep your health care plan. Period. No one will take it away, no matter what.” -- Pres. Barack Obama to the American Medical Assn., June 15, 2009.
Or, if you say something like this:
"And if you like your insurance plan, you will keep it. No one will be able to take that away from you. It hasn’t happened yet. It won’t happen in the future.” -- Pres. Obama, April 1, 2010.
Or if you say something like this:
"If you like your plan, you'll be keeping your plan. No one's taking that away from you. Three months from now, six months from now, you're gonna look around, be sitting in your doctor's office, reading the old people magazines, you'll be saying, 'Hey, same doctor. Same plan. It wasn't Armageddon.'" -- Pres. Obama, Sept. 25, 2010.
Or maybe even like this:

Of course he has done so from the beginning, but this was the BIG ONE.
I apologize in advance for the following, but every time I hear the word “misspeak,” I am reminded of a very old, somewhat tasteless joke that I am sharing only because it is so apropos:
There were these two guys having lunch one day when the first guy says to the second one, “You ever say one thing to someone when you meant to say something else?”
“How do you mean?” says the second one.
“Well last week I was at the airport in Philly and I wanted to come back here to Pittsburgh and the women at the counter had these enormous breasts so instead of asking for two tickets to Pittsburgh, I asked for two pickets to Tittsburgh.”
“I know what you mean.”, says the second guy. “Why just this morning I was having breakfast with my wife and I meant to ask her to pass the jelly but instead I said ‘You’re ruining my life you stupid bitch!’”
We need a new media along with a new government.
Now we’re hearing how we’re “12 yrs old” because we don’t accept the “moral complexity” of advancing the greater good through deception.
The ACA was passed by means of FRAUD!
Repeal!

The ending of that opinion piece came to me as well. Joe Wilson deserves a personal apology.
Maybe if Barky goes on Jimmy Fallon’s show , the band can play the song they played for Bachmann- if the song fits...
Just bummed that Joe public missed the other 666 lies he told.
Yes, word only mean things when Republicans say them. Consider President GHW Bush's, "no new taxes" pledge...he could've meant lots of things, but he was pilloried by the media (and by many Republicans, at the time.)
It’s not just Obama - most of the democrats lied right along with him.
Dave: you rock, grandpa!
The MSM applaud in Obama what they decried in Bush.
Except the consequences of Obama’s lie are enormously greater than Bush’s, and will last decades.
