2009: "No matter how we reform health care, we will keep this promise to the American people. If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor, period. If you like your health care plan, you'll be able to keep your health care plan, period. No one will take it away, no matter what."
2012 (when any updates to the law were established): "If you're one of the more than 250 million Americans who already have health insurance, you will keep your health insurance. This law will only make it more secure and more affordable."
Yesterday: "So if you're getting one of these letters, just shop around in the new marketplace. That's what it's for,"
This is a man who KNEW, flat knew, millions would be forced from their current insurance, b/c a core part of the law is establishing guidelines for coverage that would by definition mean lots of existing insurance policies would be illegal to offer or maintain. It was a given it would happen, he stood up and lied as sure as lying about the sun coming up in the East, and the media let him get away with it for 4 years b/c they want him in office more than they want to do their jobs.
The best part is how empathetic he is when lying, how he gets that look of passionate concern on his face, like an actor thinking about losing their parent or spouse when they have to cry in the scene but then delivering the lines with that emotion borrowed from elsewhere.
He's good at it, but the lie remains, and people are finally starting to see it. I wonder if they'll see all the others, how he had no idea what the NSA is doing despite getting two 1 hour briefings a day from NSA as President, how he had no idea what was going on in Benghazi despite live 24/7 feeds from drones to the situation room in the White House, how nothing bad that has ever happened in his administration was his fault or something he was aware was going on. Not one flipping thing.
