Lies and Lying Lieberman

He insists that President Obama never mentioned the public option during the campaign.

He's lying.

But I'm sure Chuck Todd will find a way to blame this on the president.

Yes, I saw MSNBC display a Lieberman quote to the same effect. Then the so-called liberal network carried on the conversation while pretending that Lieberman isn't a fucking liar. Frustrating.

How would he know what Obama promised during the campaign? Because as I remember it, his head was pretty far up McCain's ass.

I can't believe, Bob, that you used that link to "prove" your point.

All throughout it refers to a PUBLIC PLAN.......

Lieberman is saying the president never mentioned the Public Option --- and that may be correct.

There can be many "public plans" --- all different ways that the government can be part of health care.

The Public Option is/was a specific proposal.

The link you site does not prove your point or make your case.

Bzzzz..nope. But thanks for playing our game.
Barack Obama, Speech to Congress on Healthcare Reform, Sept, 2009:

"But an additional step we can take to keep insurance companies honest is by making a not-for-profit public option available in the insurance exchange."
"the public insurance option would have to be self-sufficient and rely on the premiums it collects"
"The public option is only a means to that end"

Now, YOU may have your own version of what the public option should involve, but what Obama spoke about is the public option that is now on the table.
