Is Obama Clueless — or Dishonest?

My vote is for the latter. m/r

Did the President Lie about ObamaCare?
November 4, 2013 Bernard Goldberg

I’m always amused when I hear my liberal friends say that they’re pro choice.  What they mean, of course, is they’re pro choice when it comes to abortions. But many of these same liberals support nanny state laws that tell us how much soda we can drink from one cup, or what kind of fats are acceptable for us to eat in restaurants. Those laws restrict our choices.  And they’re certainly not pro-choice when it comes to ObamaCare.
Millions of Americans are right now getting cancellation letters from their insurance companies thanks to the unfortunately named Affordable Care Act.  The plans, according to the president and other liberals who know what’s best for us, were junk that left us, in the president’s term, “underinsured.”
Maybe they did.  Maybe, as Mr. Obama says, we’ll get a “better deal” with the new plans we’ll get from the exchanges, if we can ever get on the exchanges.  In any case, whatever happened to “If you like your healthcare plan you can keep it – period.”
But as an editorial in the Wall Street Journal put it, “If the federal exchanges really were better, Mr. Obama wouldn’t have needed to outlaw the old product and compel everyone to buy the new, government-approved version.”
And this is from the people who tell us they’re pro choice!
President Obama and his slobbering supporters talk to us the way parents speak to children.
