I don't know how President Obama could get more surreal. At this point, it's hard to tell whether he's more dishonest or delusional.
At Obama's news conference Thursday, CBS' Major Garrett pressed him, essentially, to admit he'd flagrantly lied when he promised Americans that with the advent of Obamacare, they could keep their health care plans and their doctors if they liked them.
Though Obama did pay lip service to admitting he shouldn't have made the promise "unequivocally," he quickly degenerated into a disjointed string of meaningless verbiage involving nuances, grandfathering, great-grandfathering and whatnot, all designed to confuse us and excuse himself. Besides, he insisted, many congressmen made the same "sincere" pledge that he made concerning keeping their plans. "They did it, too, Mommy."
The unequivocal truth is that Obama made the claim unequivocally not through excess passion born of selfless magnanimity but as a calculated maneuver to sell his unpopular plan. It was not, as he stated, sincere. Had he not made the claim unequivocally, he wouldn't have been able to cram the bill through, even with the unconscionable level of arm-twisting he engaged in.
It's beyond offensive that he blithely waved off his premeditated lie as a bare misstatement.
Obama not only was not forthcoming in accepting actual responsibility for his fraud but mouthed a number of other specious arguments to distract from his culpability and blame his opponents.
Like a jet fighter pilot sending out chaff and flares to divert a heat-seeking missile, Obama tried desperately to disguise this colossal failure as mostly a website problem. How many times did he use the term?

He’s scared.
This month the nation will realize that he's bug nuts crazy too.
Any reporter ask him how we’re coming on that “end of November” deadline for having the website up and running?
The answer out of the left that I like the most is the admission that they have to lie about their agenda and goals because everyone else is too stupid to understand the superiority thereof.
Agreed...He, his handlers and the Rats realize he kept digging himself deeper and is now in too deep to recover. Just my view.
I’m still waiting for my lawyer to translate his declarations for me..
Yes. The language about grandfathering previous plans ALWAYS SAID ‘unless they have changed’. Obamacare required every plan to change to accomodate Obamacare. That is the law. Anyone with an ounce of critical thinking abilities can reason out that premise. LIAR, LIAR,LIAR!
He’s finally realizing he’s in way over his head with no way out. That’s a bad feeling.
Can’t seriously expect Obama to start telling the truth.It’s not in his nature.
He begins by saying the healthcare you had before his presence on earth was defective, horrible, terrible worse than third world and did not work. really?!?!?!
He still has the shovel in his hand. This is no fix as will become apparent soon. The opposition should stand back and not get between the man and his train wreck.
..... Hard to give the guy the Benefit of the Doubt when he takes away your benefits LOL
How much more Stalin like does he have to get before
people figure out what he is? Then it will be too late.
Well said...It really does amaze me he has been allowed to go this far without some of the media and in fact Democrats going after him. It shows how leftist both have become as well as many in the GOP.
Old news.
Valerie Jarrett has already announced that the website won't be fixed by November 30. Instead, they hope to achieve "substantial progress" by "the end of the year".
