It's the press secretary's JOB to face the press. She made her own life difficult by lying to the press. But I guess she had a choice - lie to support the president's lies, or tell the truth and undermine him on a daily basis.
Imagine hooking obama under osth to a lie detector in 2010 and asking “did you lie when you said if we like our doctor we can keep our doctor?
That's the one thing you guys keep coming back to. Not a lie - a broken promise. And a promise he wanted to keep but was prevented from doing so by Rs. Imagine hooking Trump under oath to a lie detector pretty much any day of the week and asking him anything. He made over 80 false statements last week alone. That's more than 10 per day, on average. I genuinely believe that he is incapable of distinguishing fact from lies. The current administration is the most deceitful in modern history. Although Sander was not the main source of deceit (that dubious distinction belongs to Dirty Donny), she certainly distributed and enabled the deceit.
Those opposed to the ACA like to think that Obama was somehow being duplicitous when he made this statement. The fact of the matter is he made this statement early on in the process and after much debate, hearings, amendments, etc. it eventually got dropped. The ACA took over a year to complete and took a lot of work by a lot of people. It may not have been perfect but it was a sight better than what was available prior. So, no -- President Obama did not lie. The Republicans pulled the AHCA out of their asses over the space of a few months with little or no deliberations or hearings and it was a pile of crap. Trump promised healthcare which would be more comprehensive and with better coverage at a cheaper cost. Trump had no input in creating this bill and in fact probably never even read it. This travesty of a bill does not even come close to being anything that even comes close to the ACA and yet in public, he referred to it as “great”. Who is a liar now?
Well since I'm a straight woman, no. I would not want to date her. I don't find her attractive, I just find her sanctimonious religious heresy to be highly un-unattractive.
It was a lie The obamacare guru boasted that they knew it was not true and only said so to get it passed
The LW hypocrisy about this is funny, when Obama was POTUS there was a revolving door between his administration and the media.
Trusting the press, the president, press secretary, etc shows gullibility on our part, not trustworthiness on their part. This isn't new.
