President Obama has been lying to America for four years about his take over of our national healthcare system. Now he’s finally admitting he lied. But, naturally, it’s all someone else’s fault.

Obama went on NBC News to issue one of those typical non-apology apologies. Saying he was “sorry” that Americans found themselves “in this situation”–as if he had nothing to do with it.
On November 7, Obama appeared on NBC News with Chuck Todd to deliver his half-hearted mea culpa.
“I am sorry that they are finding themselves in this situation based on assurances they got from me,” Obama said in NBC’s exclusive interview at the White House.
“We’ve got to work hard to make sure that they know we hear them and we are going to do everything we can to deal with folks who find themselves in a tough position as a consequence of this.”
See, America? He’s sorry people found themselves in this situation. You know. The one he created.
This comes after four years of Obama lying to us…
Meanwhile millions of Americans are still losing their insurance even though this president spent the last four years telling us all we could keep our insurance and our doctors “if we like them, period.”
It all seems like an Onion story or a bit on Saturday Night Live.
But Obama and his cohorts have an explanation for all this loss of insurance: It’s the fault of insurance companies. No, he’s serious.
This is a claim that even the Obama-friendly Washington Post called a major falsehood giving the claim three pinocchios.
