Fact-checking website PolitiFact is out with the latest edition
of its "Lie of the Year." In 2013, the dubious prize went to President Obama for his widely derided claim that,
"If you like your health care plan, you can keep it."
Many people, of course, found that they could not keep their
plans, as the higher standards set by Obamacare rendered them null and void.
The administration and Congress quickly moved in with proposed fixes to the mushrooming political problem.
PolitiFact is often criticized for its fact-checking methodology, and some noted that it had rated previous statements by Obama along similar lines as "half
true."
Ironically, all
three runners-up slots in PolitiFact's roundup went to Republicans for their
own statements on Obamacare.
