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

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.”

Yeah, real funny. The people screwed by Obamacare aren’t laughing. Charlie Rose is a butt-licker.

The fact that the cancellations came at our holiday season time was just the icing on the cake to these traitorous treacherous AMERICA hating tyrants.

Proverbs 6:16-18....16. There are six things which the LORD hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him: 17. Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood, 18. A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that run rapidly to evil,…

Its gonna suck longterm to be one of those unrepentant ones.

“I literally want to choke people like this. Lies and then laughing about it.”

No, I don’t want to choke them.

I want to slowly beat them insensible: one slow, light punch to the face at a time. And when they wake up, I want to start over. Again and again.

I want their misery to last and last...
