NBC Politics Fact-checking organization Politifact has named their “Lie of the Year,” and it’s bad news for the White House and the Affordable Care Act.
President Barack Obama’s often-repeated assertion that “If you like your health care plan, you can keep it,” won the ignominious honor for 2013, the group announced.
In a blog post, Politifact– which is affiliated with the Tampa Bay Times – said Obama’s promise was “impossible to keep” and has resulted in a “real hit to his credibility.”
“So this fall, as cancellation letters were going out to approximately 4 million Americans, the public realized Obama’s breezy assurances were wrong,” editor Angie Drobnic Holan wrote. “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.”
She added that readers in an online poll “overwhelmingly” agreed with the decision.
The usurper’s affirmation of his oath of office was the lie of the year, likely the lie of the decade.
Must have been tough deciding on this year’s winner.
So many outrageous lies to choose from.
Time to make another Oscar awards parody video like they did for the Sandy Hoax actors.
The outrageous lie of the year goes to……Obama! For saying that if you like your plan, you can keep your plan. (Audience applauding).
Is it possible he could even out lie (dare I say it)………….
Yahoo?
What? Yahoo lies? When? Why didn’t anyone tell me about this? Why am I always the last one to know about these things?
(sarcasm)
Been lyin’ about Iran building a bomb for only 30 years now.
Has Yahoo even been around for 30 years?
The players may change, but the agenda remains the same.
And the lies.
