Doesn't it seem to you that the media, now turning on the liar in the White House, held back on revelations when there was the possibility that they could have had an actual effect?
1. "Congratulations, Barack Obama, on winning PolitiFacts Lie of the Year!
2. "If you like your health care plan, you can keep it, President Barack Obama said many times of his landmark new law. But the promise was impossible to keep.
Boiling down the complicated health care law to a soundbite proved treacherous, even for its promoter-in-chief. Obama and his team made matters worse, suggesting they had been misunderstood all along. The stunning political uproar led to this: a rare presidential apology."
a. 'Last year, in the thick of the presidential campaign, O actually had the balls to say, If youre one of the more than 250 million Americans who already have health insurance, you will keep your health insurance. '
3. One question, though: Why is this the 2013 Lie of the Year instead of the 2009 Lie of the Year?
Thats when he first started pushing the if you like your plan crapola....
4. .... thats when conservative health-care wonks started calling B.S. on him for it.
5. [As the Right said at the time] the sick would be covered and the poor would be subsidized with new revenue raised by forcing young invincibles to buy coverage and transitioning middle-class people to more expensive comprehensive plans.
If you like your plan, you can keep it had to be a lie or else the law would have no chance of working.
6. .... the hacks at PolitiFact backed Obama up on it in whole or in part no fewer than six times between 2008 and 2012.
7. ....his infamous phrasing at the AMA conferencein 2009. PolitiFacts rating: Half-true.
a. On the same day, they issued their verdict on a statement by Romney that 20 million Americans would lose their insurance under O-Care a number thats shaping up to be a gross underestimate once small businesses start grappling with the law. PolitiFacts rating: False.
8. Whether that was left-wing hackery or just myopic stupidity in focusing too closely on the precise phrasing rather than the overall framework of the law, you can judge for yourself.
9. The fact that it took until 2013 for them to identify if you like your plan as a mammoth lie is proof that the medias collectively either out of its depth in analyzing policy even when scores of conservative policy experts were willing and able to help them identify problems with the law or uninterested for political reasons in recognizing the laws flaws until theyre so glaring that they cant plausibly be ignored.
10. This really is the Lie of the Year, and outfits like PolitiFact are entirely complicit in it."
Congratulations, Barack Obama, on winning PolitiFact?s ?Lie of the Year?! « Hot Air
Again?
"... when scores of conservative policy experts were willing and able to help them identify problems with the law..."
Over and over, the Right tells the truth....the press lies for the Left.
And the most stupid among us, or, as Chris Matthews might say, 'amongst us,' simply follow the orders of the Leftist media and vote accordingly.
And look what you've done to America......
