Obama’s Pinocchio Defense

After video documentation of President Obama’s plans to nationalize healthcare hit the blogosphere, the White House has struck back.  Unfortunately, the defense of Obama once again invokes images of Pinocchio’s nose growing as he tells lie after lie.   Attempting to discredit those who reference then Senate candidate Obama’s own words,  the White House Communications Director for Health Reform made this statement,

“Hi. I’m Linda Douglass. I’m the communications director for the White House Office of Health Reform, and one of my jobs is to keep track of all the disinformation that’s out there about health-insurance reform. And there are a lot of very deceiving headlines out there right now, such as this one — take a look at this one. This one says, ‘Uncovered Video: Obama Explains How His Health Care Plan Will Eliminate PRIVATE Insurance.’

“Well, nothing can be farther from the truth. You know the people who always try to SCARE people whenever you try to bring them health-insurance reform are at it again. And they’re taking sentences and phrases out of context, and they’re cobbling them together to leave a VERY false impression. The truth is that the president has been talking to the American people a LOT about health-insurance reform and what is at stake for them.

“So what happens is that because he’s talking to the American people so much, there are people out there with a computer and a lot of free time, and they take a phrase here and there — they simply cherry-pick and put it together, and make it sound like he’s saying something that he didn’t really say.”

Ed Morrissey at Hot Air correctly points out that Obama’s statement on his goal for a single payer healthcare system is indisputable.  The continued attempts by this administration to lie its way out of documented statements and deeds is fueling more discontent among the masses.  Here are both videos, judge for yourself or read the entire transcript.
