NYT: OBAMA 'MISSPOKE' WHEN HE LIED ABOUT KEEPING YOUR INSURANCE
breitbart ^ | 11/3/2013 | staff

President Obama may have lied repeatedly while telling Americans that they would be able to keep their insurance plans if they liked them, but according to The New York Times, that’s not a lie – that’s just a slip of the tongue. “Mr. Obama clearly misspoke when he said that,” the Times editorial board spun. Then the Times said that the fib was totally justified, since Americans had to be convinced to give up their insurance for better insurance plans under Obamacare – as though the free market does not allow people to do that already.

Misspoke: “express oneself insufficiently clearly or accurately.”

How about purposeful malicious deception?

WMD in Iraq was what again?

It became Syria's chemical weapons stash.

90 million people have to give up their health care plans so 45 million could have access to something they already had access to.

Supposedly they need 7 million young people to sign on in order to pay for the subsidies for the poor. But young people can stay on their parents plan until age 26. So explain how that’s supposed to work?

Then explain how people who, for whatever reason, previously chose not to pay for health care will suddenly flock to sign up for it in 60 days? And among those who do, how many will pay when the bill arrives?

Back in elementary school we used to get our little newspaper “My Weekly Reader” - I think it had more respect for the intelligence of its readers than does the NYT.....

I hear you. I was the guy who published (with my best friend Mark) that little rag, at my elementary school at least. If we had ever published such a bold faced lie as this, we would have been fired. And we “owned” the paper.

It is Orwellian Newspeak to say that a lie is misspoke; especially if it is told week after week after week.

If I scream “FIRE” in a packed movie theater and many are killed in the stampede, did I merely misspeak? Does anyone with half a brain envision that would be a winning defence in a court of law?

But, but... 2003 was such a long time ago! Pay no attention to the FACT that 11 RUSSIAN trucks were watched and recorded by our "birds" spiriting out the WMDs from Iraq just days ahead of the coalition invasion.

Never mind the FACT that all that data was purged from all the servers world-wide to prevent the inevitable end-game of a thermo-nuclear war with RUSSIA if that data was exposed.

Never mind the psy-op worked so well on the very, very weak minded, 2-dimensional thinkers that wanted Bush and the US to APPEAR as incompetent bumblers to use their screeching as cover.

Hi I often pass through here at times. Anyways I thought you would be interested in this video.

In 2010 Obama admitted that there was stuff snuck in that would nuke his promise. And he promised that he would fix it. So why didn’t he?

Well, at least they’re finally saying SOMETHING somewhat negative about Obama. Of course, George W. Bush never ‘miss-spoke”, he always lied. ;o)
