Obama Falsely Claims AARP Endorses His Heath Care Plan
August 192009
President Obama today suggested that the health care reform legislation for which hes pushing has been endorsed by the American ociation 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.”

Now, let me see!
Is this Obama’s FIRST LIE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ? nooooooo.
Is Obama knowledgable about the proposed bill? noooooooo.
Is Obama just following his heart? nooooooo, ( it is evident he doesn’t have one.)
Does anyone still believe this president is going to do ANYTHING THAT COULD BE CONSIDERED DECENT, HONORABLE AND GOOD FOR THE HARD WORKING, PATRIOTIC, DECENT, AMERICAN PEOPLE?
I don’t think so!

So he is saying “AARP wouldn’t support a bill that undermines senoiors” and they don’t support the bill in the house…. Is he implying that is why? LOL, I love when salesmen get caught in a lie.

Yes, apparently he …
Yes, apparently he did, if you believe what AARP said in the description of this video. AARP may be in favor of “Socialized Medicine”, but they have not “Endorsed” any particular plan as of this date.

Did Obama really …
Did Obama really falsely say that AARP endorsed Socialized Medicine? If AARP is not in support of Socialized Medicine, then why is AARP running political ads in favor of Socialized Medicine?

You right wingers …
You right wingers are splitting hairs. The AARP does support the reform being developed, they just haven’t supported a particular bill yet (there are several in the House and Senate right now).
The President didn’t say that the AARP supports a particular bill. He said they support a bill, which they do.

If he’s trying to sell this on lies, he’s only hurting himself. How stupid does he think we are?
The bill won’t pass anyway. But, he is just showing us that he is a knuckle head.

Obama could tear …
Obama could tear down the Lincoln Memorial and replace it with a statue of himself, and his supporters would believe he ended the Civil War.
He lies continuously. For Obama, there is no “truth”. Words are just a means to and end.
