President Obama Contradicts Senator Obama on Health Care
Submitted by Heritage Foundation on Aug 12, 2009
Tuesday, President Obama once again repeated his assertion that he is not advocating for a single payer health care system (one in which the government is the sole provider of all U.S. health care services). In the past he has explained his new current position by explaining that the votes aren’t there, and it may take decades to transition towards his desired result. Whether or not he will currently admit, as he did here in 2003, that a single payer system is his goal, it is logical to assume from his own rhetoric that he is designing a system that puts America on that path. President Obama may say he wasn’t a “single payer supporter” but Senator Obama certainly was.

I am amazed at how many lies this neophyte can get away with.
He was explaining how Medicare beneficiaries shouldn't be worried their health care program will be cut to subsidize coverage for the uninsured when he said, "We have the AARP [on board] because they know this is a good deal for our seniors." He added, "AARP would not be endorsing a bill if it was undermining Medicare."
But Tom Nelson, AARP's chief operating officer, said, "Indications that we have endorsed any of the major health care reform bills currently under consideration in Congress are inaccurate."
But the wide-eyed Obama supporters will just look at Obama's lying website and happily "debunk" such inconsistencies.
They just believe him blindly. As if he was above reproach.
Then the laughably call /us/ wingnuts. Go figure.
