Confusing Obama

Well, this holds to my “confusing Obama” theme for sure. He really doesn’t seem to understand this healthcare plan he’s pitching. The fact checkers (which is what the media should be doing) tell a different story than what Obama said. Why would he lie? I just don’t get it. We’re not stupid.

Obama health care fabrications exposed by fact-checking (www.examiner.com)

The more Obama talks about his health care reform program, the more inconsistencies are being found by fact-checkers. The basic facts about coverage, cost and who foots the bill that he touts are being challenged by independent organizations who have begun to expose the fabrications. The inconsistencies by Obama between his rhetoric and reality are becoming more obvious every time he opens his mouth trying to fend off criticism of his health care proposals.

Obama’s Health Care Claims (www.factcheck.org)

He said that the U.S. spends 50 percent more per capita on health care than the next most expensive country. Not quite. We spend 20 percent more than the second most expensive country, and 50 percent more than the third.

He’s really losing on healthcare. The more he tries, the worse he does. Democrats are turning on him. This won’t get signed on Obama’s timetable. Fail.
