Rose, Obama Speechwriters Laugh About the President’s ‘You Can Keep Your Plan’ Lie
Free Beacon ^ | 5/10/16 | David Rutz

Posted on 05/10/2016 12:12:40 PM PDT by Nachum

Charlie Rose and three of Barack Obama’s former speechwriters had a good laugh Monday night while joking about the president’s infamous, oft-repeated false promise that under Obamacare, “if you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan.”

Obama said dozens of times in the run-up to the Affordable Care Act’s signing and enactment that no Americans who liked the insurance plan they had would lose it under the Affordable Care Act. In reality, millions of policies were canceled because of the law’s regulations, and Obama was forced to apologize to the American people. The infamous remark was named 2013’s “Lie of the Year” by PolitiFact.

NewsBusters reported Jon Lovett, Jon Favreau and David Litt all came on Charlie Rose’s eponymous PBS program to gush over Obama’s writing abilities and the art of speechwriting in general. Rose asked if they had significant “impact” on Obama’s more “serious speeches.”

“The joke speech is the most fun part of this, but the things I’m the most proud of were the most serious speeches, I think,” Lovett said. “Health care. Economic speeches.”

Charlie Rose is such a pathetic Obama suck-up.

I remember his whining: “You called Hillary Clinton a liar, sir.”

A clip of this plus the guy talking about the lies surrounding the Iran deal out this past week are great for Trump’s campaign. Needs to be tweeted out and tied to Clinton. ‘This is how Washington has been screwing you, America’. They’ll lie and then laugh about it.

Nothing funny about those cancellations—at least not to my daughter who was in her final year’s battle with cancer!!—expecially when they came at the Thanksgiving/Christmas Season....

I had a very conservative friend, may she rest in peace, who wouldn’t miss a Charlie Rose show. Couldn’t pay me to watch one.

How are people who believed Obama not offended?

Let’s see if they can summon the same level of mirth when they are on their knees with hands tied behind their backs...awaiting their final dispatch.

I’m sure these scum kept their doctors and plans. They only screwed over the ‘little’ people.

Of course they’re proud of their lies on all of it. That’s how they got idiots to support them. Hello America, this is your 10,000th wake-up call.

The elitists have personal on-call doctors and specialists and they don't need insurance, they can afford everything with their "walking around money".

Really? I don’t recall Obama ever apologizing for anything except to our enemies for America’s existence.

You are right, it’s definitely not funny to those who were so terrible affected by Obama’s lies about keeping your health plan; however, to many of those individuals I would ask one question, “who did you vote for in 2008 and 2012?”
