You know, back when the Obamacare bill was being debated and discussed and lied about, there was a point that I realized I really didn't have much of an idea what it was all about. When you get your information from politicians, filtered through the biased media of your choice, you really aren't going to have any idea what the real story is. Maybe that's what Gruber (who I still haven't paid any attention to) is calling a lie. Every politician and special interest group was spinning this thing. It's like the story of the blind guys describing an elephant while feeling the different parts and coming up with completely different things.

At the time, I finally went and read the summary of what Obamacare actually was, so I then had a good understanding of it. That's how I knew Obama's oversimplification was wrong.

Anybody who didn't bother to actually read what Obamacare was, and instead relied on politicians to spin it for them is going to get it wrong.

Sarge, I'd be interested to hear what lies Obama allegedly told (other than the "you get to keep your insurance" oversimplification.)
