Latest lie being pushed is that Obama refused to put his family on the insurance "plan"
They make a vague reference to this statement being made on a program on ABC, where they CLAIM that the president was asked

"MR. PRESIDENT WILL YOU AND YOUR FAMILY GIVE UP YOUR CURRENT HEALTH CARE PROGRAM AND JOIN THE NEW "UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE PROGRAM" THAT THE REST OF US WILL BE ON"

Then, various e-mails and websites either say that the president ignored the question or that there was "stony silence" by the president. Of course, they don't say which ABC show this was
on, or when he said it, because they know that if they did people could check the transcript and disprove it.

Plus, the insurance reforms that are proposed would apply to everyone, including the president. There is no "health care program" that the "rest of us" will be on.

1. I think the president really does have different health care than the rest
of the country..sorta like Jackson's with quality control...His own doctor resides in the WH and he is taken to a secured hospital in the presidential suite for safety. You know..perks of the job!

3. well, he remarks about the federal plan that he HAD as a senator... as president
his health plan is different. Where the hell are these people asking the senators and congress members who oppose a public option if THEY are going to give up THEIR insurance.
