Ever spinning

Now that the news of hundreds of thousands of people losing their medical insurance are flooding in, Obama is backpedaling as hard has his little stompy-feet can take him. From The Daily Caller:

Obama denies �you can keep it� videotaped promises
President Barack Obama told his enthusiastic supporters Monday night that he never promised what video recordings show him promising at least 29 times.

The videos show Obama promising 300 million Americans that �if you like your health-care plan, you will be able to keep your health-care plan, period.�

But that�s not what he really said, Obama announced Monday in a speech to about 200 Organizing for Action supporters, gathered at the St. Regis hotel in D.C.

�What we said was you could keep it if it hasn�t changed since the law was passed,� he told Obamacare�s political beneficiaries and contractors.

That claim is not supported by his videotaped statements, which don�t include any mention of his new �if it hasn�t changed� exception.

But the newly-revealed exception is justified by a higher-priority promise in Obamacare, Obama declared.

�If we had allowed these old plans [to continue]� then we would have broken an even more important promise � making sure that Americans gain access to health care that doesn�t leave them one illness away from financial ruin,� he announced.

�So the bottom line is, is that we are making the insurance market better for everybody,� he declared, prompting loud applause by supporters eager to ignore his three years of fraudulent statements.

Obama�s higher promise is now causing the cancelation of insurance policies chosen by at least 3.5 million Americans.

Pants in fire. This legislation is going to increase the cost of medical insurance for everyone. My own policies for Lulu and me went up a few months ago.
