Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler last week examined this claim from President Obama, among other similar ones as he campaigned in his first term for passage of his signature reform:
That means that 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, youll be able to keep your health-care plan, period. No one will take it away, no matter what.
President Obama, speech to the American Medical Association, June 15, 2009 (as the health-care law was being written.)
Kessler issued Four Pinocchios for the series of claims, though he doesnt allege a lie. I cant get into someones head, Kessler tells the Erik Wemple Blog via e-mail.
Last night, on the OReilly Factor, Fox News contributor Bernard Goldberg claimed just that ability: I think he lied to us. Host Bill OReilly found more nuance in the situation: I dont believe Barack Obama read the law. And I dont believe Dianne Feinstein read the law. I dont believe they read it, okay. I dont believe they know what the hell is going on, either of them. I believe that they are like a lot of other Americans, very ideologically disposed to giving healthcare to everybody. And thats their goal. Translation: The president was too clueless to lie.

Makes sense.
“Did he know what he said was untrue? Yes.”
I don’t think dumbO knows anything that isn’t piped to his teleprompter or earpiece. His entire public image is a fabrication.
Much like the villain in Iron Man 3, he simply does his lines and then lives like a drunken king when the cameras are off.
If abstracts ideas don't exist for you, you're in a world of hurt.
If you can't figure out why, no explanation is possible.
O’Reilly is right about one thing Obama, Pelosi et al. neither knew what was in the thing.
Does that make them liars?
Or does it mean that not only did not know, but did not give a fugg what was in it.
Then after selling us down the river, Then they started the lies.
Fact is we still don’t know what is in it. It changes every day.Obama changes it, Sebelius changes it. God only knows who else changes it.
The thing is so full of regulations it can say anything they want it to say.
It’s the biggest piece of dung ever foisted on America and it should be tossed out in it’s entirety before we waste even more money and end up even deeper in the dog Crap.
When I worked with guys out of prison and caught them in a lie, the response to me was:
“I meant it when I said it.”
I quit watching “Cops” years ago when it started becoming difficult to tell the “good guys” from the “bad guys.”
I’m not as bad off as you imply, LOL.
Wow, so not only the sheeperal believed that Obamacare meant free healthcare on demand,
but Reid, Pelosi, and Obama did, too?
Thread Winning Post!!!
Has he outlawed calling him a liar? if not he’s the biggest liar I know outside sanitariums
