Speechwriter: Obama Didn’t Lie About ObamaCare, He Just Didn’t Understand How It Worked

The Obama approval ratings are apparently bad enough that they’re going with the, “He’s not a liar, he’s just stupid” defense.

At an AEI event on the secrets of the State of the Union speech, former President Obama speechwriter Jon Lovett acknowledged that the “keep your health care plan” pledge didn’t turn out to be as accurate as the administration planned.

That’s PR speak for, “It was a complete and total lie from beginning to end.” How accurate did the administration hope that a claim that had no basis in fact would be on a scale from one to minus zero?

May I add the fraud he has perpetrated on the country with Obamacare. Certainly that’s a high crime.

Pure horse manure.

It’s hard to say which is worse: Liar or stupid hmm “I’ll take “Both of Them” for $200 Alex.”

[Popman]

Completely agree with you.... But none of those points fall under the Constitutions impeachment clause....unless you want to say lying is a “misdemeanor “

The standard that the Obama crowd uses against those who do not support him is that "ignorance of the law is not an excuse". Hence, their vast expansion of regulations to trip up their opponents. We should hold him accountable to his own standard and SOMEBODY should indict his sorry a$$ for fraud, I don't care if it is in municipal court of Podunk, Alabama.

“He’s not a liar, he’s just stupid”

That’s even worse.

Don't disagree....now prove the directive came from Obama...

" Once Obama's term is up we may never hear from him again."

No... Unfortunately I don't think so.

He was probably too busy golfing and planning lavish vacations to attend the briefing where they explained to him what was in the ACA. IOW it was all about the politics and the hell with what the law actually did.
