Uhhh, hate to say "I told you so," but how much more incompetence from the Golfer-in-Chief will it take to make the point that Obama voters in both 2008 and 2012 based their opinions on beliefs with little or no substance. BHO has been over his head from the beginning and the only reason he still is in office is because the Republicans nominated a stuffed short to oppose him in the last election. Billy ----------------------------------- Note: At last known count, 10 million Americans have lost their previous health coverage. ---------------------------------- Obama's False Promises On Health Reform
Editorial The Hartford Courant 2:24 p.m. EST, November 8, 2013 President _Obama_ (http://www.courant.com/topic/politics/government/barack-obama-PEPLT007408.topic) lied, misled, misspoke — however you want to frame it — when he said that if you liked your health care plan, you could keep it, period, under his _Affordable Care Act_ (http://www.courant.com/topic/health/healthcare-laws/affordable-care-act-(obamacare)-EVGAP00039.topic) . In fact, plans are getting canceled that are not compliant with the ACA's requirements of certain minimum benefits. This is a cruel surprise to many policyholders. Mr. Obama said Thursday that he's sorry Americans are losing their insurance plans he'd assured them they could keep, but he didn't say he was sorry for making those promises. This is far from his only problem. Sixteen senators from his own party told the president Wednesday he's facing a "crisis of confidence" if he doesn't fix the messed-up healthcare.gov website fast. Even Democratic champions of the law are feeling misled about its flaws. Sen. _Max Baucus_ (http://www.courant.com/topic/politics/government/max-baucus-PEPLT000333.topic) of Montana told a top administration official Wednesday, "You've got to tell us what's going on, candidly, fully ... The more you don't tell us, the greater the problem is going to be." There are other examples of promises that stretched the truth to the breaking point. Mr. Obama claimed in 2008 that the health care act would "lower premiums by up to $2,500 for a typical family per year." That was, to put it politely, a "misleading" campaign promise based on what the respected organization FactCheck.org calls "misleading math." The ACA had enough to recommend it — including reducing the ranks of the uninsured by 30 million, as well as guaranteeing health insurance for everyone — without the false statements. -- -- Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community <[email protected]> Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/RadicalCentrism Radical Centrism website and blog: http://RadicalCentrism.org --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community" group.
