Did you doubt me when I said (previous entry) that President Obama is doing most f the "misleading" on the proposed health care "reform"? Don't ever doubt me!!! Even as I was typing the previous entry, I was being proved correct. The President essentailly LIED today about AARP supporting him on health care "reform". This is the present excerpt from ABC News--linked now on drudgereport.com if you want to read the entrie story, and see associated material. This is how ABC News described the "problem" with what Obama said:
"President Obama today suggested that the health care reform legislation for which he’s pushing has been endorsed by the American Association of Retired Person.
“We have the AARP on board because they know this is a good deal for our seniors,” the president said.
At another point he said: “Well, first of all, another myth that we've been hearing about is this notion that somehow we're going to be cutting your Medicare benefits. We are not. AARP would not be endorsing a bill if it was undermining Medicare, okay?”
The problem?
The AARP hasn't endorsed any plan yet.
The country's largest advocacy group for Americans over 50 issued a statement after the event saying, "While the President was correct that AARP will not endorse a health care reform bill that would reduce Medicare benefits, indications that we have endorsed any of the major health care reform bills currently under consideration in Congress are inaccurate."
