-According to Sen. Durbin (D) President Obama is a Liar?
by Dr. D ~ March 15th, 2010
Catch this dubious quote made by President Obama today on the following video:
“Premiums will decrease 3,000% so you should get a raise when health care is passed.”
Meanwhile, here’s a recent quote from Sen. Dick Durbin (D) the #2 Democratic leader in the Senate:
“Anyone who would stand before you and say ‘well, if you pass health care reform next year’s health care premiums are going down,’ I don’t think is telling the truth. I think it is likely they would go up.”
Response: So there you have it. Sen.Durbin would appear to be calling the President a liar even if it is unintended.
Today in Ohio, the President said a number of things in his speech which simply are not true. The most outrageous of many outrageous statements was this one—that health care premiums would actually decrease by 3,000% if the new health care bill was passed. Even a 30% decrease is completely out of the question.
Everyone who has actually looked at the Senate bill agrees that it would end up increasing costs for those already insured for a number of different reason. Not one expert agrees with the President that it would bring a decrease of any sort. Even one of his own major Democratic leaders in the Senate- Sen. Durban obviously disagrees with the President’s assessment.
I guess if you are going to be wrong, exaggerate or lie you might as well make it big and over-the-top—like by 3,000% or so! Does this President really think that the American people are that stupid? I guess he does. *Top
