Good grief.

Via Politico:

President Barack Obama issued a rare presidential apology when he expressed remorse for promising to Americans that they could keep their insurance plans if they liked their current coverage.

Don’t expect the same “I’m sorry” from House Democratic leaders. [...]

House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said at the time the statement was made, it was accurate. The problems with the messaging came when people interpreted Obama’s comments “expansively.”

“You understand that if you had a policy on the day that this bill was adopted, you got to keep it,” Hoyer said. “Now, you didn’t get to keep it if the insurance companies didn’t want to offer it to you.”

“When [consumers] become aware of what they did not have, I don’t think there’s anything to apologize for,” added South Carolina Rep. James Clyburn, the third-ranking House Democrat.

So we're too stupid to know what we heard but so smart we read more into them. Oh brother !

“You understand that if you had a policy on the day that this bill was adopted, you got to keep it,” Hoyer said. “Now, you didn’t get to keep it if the insurance companies didn’t want to offer it to you....”

C'mon, Steny, finish the sentence.

Here, let me help: "....and the reason insurance companies didn't "want" to is because we Democrats made it illegal to do so."

There.

Hope that helps, Steny.

The funny thing about lying is..they do it, even when they know the people know otherwise.
