When our Dear Leader was touiting Obamacare, he said over and over, that if you like your health plan and your physician, you'd be able to keep them. The White House is now admitting that will not be the case for millions of Americans.
Foxnews (who else) is reporting that back in 2010, the department of HHS estimated that millions would not be able to keep their current plans. IN other words, the administration knew that their promise was B.S.

Did Obama knowingly lie? Or was he, once again, just incredibly wrong? As Hilary would shriek, "does it matter"?
I personally have no issue with requiring some subsidization of healthcare, requiring that healthy people pay into a system that assists those that are sick through no fault of their own. There are people who are born afflicted with conditions that they can never hope to pay to care, so it seems part of a basic social contract that we help these people. I'm fine with that, in fact I woud insist on that.
I just don't like being lied to, nor do I understand why 55% of the country doesn't seem to care that this guy can't even get one right by accident.
He was as wrong as could be on the Surge, he was as wrong as could be on the Russian invasion of South Osessia (saying 'both sides' needed to show restraint), he was wrong on estimating the impact of his stimulus bill, he was as wrong as could be about shovel-ready jobs, he was wrong about being able to keep our current health plan and/or physician.
And when I say he was wrong on these things, I'm not splitting hairs. You don't need to go out to the tenth decimal place to find his error. He's incredibly, spectacularly wrong on these things, because he lacks a basic understanding of how the world works, and maybe more importantly, he won't listen to anyone who doesn't already agree with him. That's what happens when you spend your entire life in an Ivy League faculty room, discussing existentialism over aple-timis and hot toddies.
How many times does an idiot bumble around, before we conclude that he's a bumbling idiot?
