Gruber argued that half of these people (three per cent of all Americans) will have little change to their polices. “They have to buy new plans, but they will be pretty similar to what they had before,” he said. “It will essentially be relabeling.”'

A lie to the public is a lie.

Just that a lie and nothing but.

IF I rob a bank but only ask for $5000. am I only half a bank robber?

Your info is incorrect too.

I'm wondering where they are on this poll though? Surely FancyFeast isn't the only liberal who thinks Obama was telling the truth?


To clarify, those that argue that he didn't lie still believe he told the truth.
There has been no repentance or admission even to themselves.

They did but the intentional lie continued to be told, again & again...................


It is a lie, not a "broken promise".
It was outright bald face intentional deception.

I believe someone in his administration read the bill; in fact, they probably wrote it. He knew what he was saying wasn't true. It's just not possible to believe otherwise.




If myself and many others knew it years ago Obama had to, he created the lie.
