Who can forget the chants by the left wing anti-war mobs "Bush lied people died"? Of course we all know that President Bush did not lie about the War in Iraq which has been proven numerous times. In fact it is more of a lie to make the statement in quotes above.
No we have a Presidnet that continually lies and makes outrageous statements in conjunction with his attempts to ram Health Care Reform down our throats. Another enlightening article for that Conservative Giant the Washington Post. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/08/16/AR2009081601887.html
Barry has repeatedly asserted that if the health care reform he supports is enacted, everyone will be able to keep their current coverage. For example, on Saturday, in Grand Junction, Colorado, he declared:
"I keep on saying this but somehow folks aren't listening. If you like your health-care plan, you keep your health-care plan. Nobody is going to force you to leave your health-care plan."
Similarly, in Portsmouth, New Hampshire Barry stated:
"Now let me just start by setting the record straight on a few things. I've been hearing out here about reform. Under the reform we're proposing, if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan."
And at a July 28 town hall meeting with members of AARP, Barry proclaimed:
Here's the guarantee that I've made: If you have insurance that you like, then you will be able to keep that insurance.
He knows these are lies. First, under the health care legislation written by all three House committees, eligible employers could move workers into a new marketplace for insurance (called an exchange). There is no guarantee that any of the options available in the exchange would be the same as the coverage currently provided by one's employer.
Second, the reform legislation could prompt some employers simply to stop covering employees. The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that three million Americans would lose their coverage in this way.
According to the Post, even White House spokesperson Linda Douglass has acknowledged that there will be some dropping of coverage. Yet Barry persists in making the patently false claim that everyone who likes their plan can keep their plan.
The biggest reason that Barry's favorable ratings keep dropping is that more and more his credibility is being squandered. Barry's continued lies and outrageous gaffes are causing more and more people to view him as someone who cannot be trusted. Once you lose your credibility it is very hard if not impossible to get it back. Of course I told you a long time ago that Barry lacked the wisdom required to be the President of the United States. On top of this he is the most arrogant and divisive President we might ever have had before. We are all going to pay for electing someone who clearly was not qualified for the job.

Employers have always been able to change carriers at any time? What is your point, that if your employer changes your carrier that somehow makes Obama a liar?
If thats your best its not much!
Employer based insurance is different than your own personal plan. Taking your logic if employers don't change carriers then Obama is correct you can keep your insurance.
The public option should be kept to keep these insurance bastards honest.
I don't know of a single person who is happy with their insurance plan unless you talk to congressman, who love their plan, they just don't want to give us their plan.
Employers are constantly looking for cheaper plans for their employees because costs have risen 109% since 2000.
And if the government is so bad at doing things then the public option will fail, let's give it a chance. Fed Ex and UPS are doing okay against the government, OH I forgot you can't use logic.
