Maher Battles Wasserman-Schultz Over Obamacare: Obama Clearly Lied, His ‘No New Taxes’ Moment
mediaite.com ^ | November 01, 2013 | Josh Feldman

Bill Maher has no qualms about saying that President Obama clearly lied about people being able to keep their health care plans if they liked them, and clashed with DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz over exactly how significant that lie was to the health care debate and whether Obamacare would have been passed in the first place without it.

Maher wondered if Obamacare had been passed in the first place if he was more honest about insurance plans. Wasserman-Schultz insisted “it was not a lie,” but Maher shot back, “Because of Obamacare, they are not able to keep [insurance plans]. To me, that is a lie.”

Rob Reiner jumped in to blame Republicans who are “refusing to make this better,” and Wasserman-Schultz reminded Maher that they hate Obamacare so much, they shut down the government.

Maher said this was Obama’s “no new taxes” moment, “a campaign pledge that didn’t hold up to the complexities of governing.” When Wasserman-Schultz stood firm, Maher told her that “the ship has sailed” on Obama’s credibility and taken a blow to his “sterling reputation for honesty.”

Why should Republicans work to make something better that NOT ONE Republican voted for? You voted for it, you make it work!

Even though TV fantasy, even as a 5 year old I'd get so mad at Meathead for trying to make Archie look uneducated and stupid while for most of the shows run Meathead and Gloria leached off Archie's middle/working class paycheck. Always enjoyed when Archie got the last laugh, and even though the writers tried to make him out to be the dumb old out of touch white guy, his down to earth common sense is what reached the masses!

Meat-head steps in to blame the people who had absolutely nothing to do with creating the 100% democrat owned obamacare. He is even dumber then the character he played on television.

Exactly the same thing I heard tonight from the libs on Hannity's studio audience discussion about ObamaCare and how Obama lied three years ago that we could keep our health insurance and doctors.

These will be the democRATs' ObamaCare talking points in the 2014 campaigns. We're gonna be hearing this crap that it was all the Republicans' fault for months to come...

"Moderate" democRAT Doug Schoen said exactly the same thing earlier tonight on Hannity's studio audience discussion about ObamaCare. All of the libs in the audience nodded their heads including journalist and Fox News Contributor Judith Miller.

Can someone out there tell me how and why Judith Miller - who appears to support ObamaCare - is a fellow at the conservative (?) Manhattan Institute??

Maybe the Manhattan Institute is no longer conservative?

The Rats are going down and they KNOW it..they are sinking faster than the Titanic..

I sure hope you're right about that. So many Americans have had their heads in the sand for so long. The fact that the Marxist Obama was even elected once is proof of that.

My hope is that these Americans will suddenly wake up when they receive letters from their health insurance companies informing they are being dropped due to the mandates of the "Affordable Care Act". Or their premiums and deductibles will triple, or worse.

The only thing that apparently wakes up these low information voters is when you hit 'em in the pocketbook.

what the left wanted was single payer..all of this phony outrage from the left is just a ploy to disguise what they really want.

I still fear that Hillary will be elected in 2016 and she'll declare ObamaCare "such a disaster", and replace it with single payer "HillaryCare".

Something tells me the idiots in this formerly great country will buy it, lock, stock and barrel...

Liberals want America to become a Communist country..that is their plan from the beginning..it would be their progressive dream come true..I think as more and more people get their oh so wonderful premium skyrocketing up 5 times their usual amount bill they will see the truth..of course, the Dems will rely on the illegals, the welfare queens, and of course, the freeloaders who just LOVE LOVE LOVE freebies to continue to vote Dem..if Dems pass Amnesty then its over for the GOP..that is my fear, amnesty more than anything else

I guess the next time Rob is walking his dog, and it takes a dump, instead of using the little bag to clean it up and dispose of it, he will get on his knees and mold it into a statue of his idol Obama to "make it better".
