Correcting Obama's Statements

As i have said before, Obama has a gift. Most people can agree with that. His gift is that he can look you straight in the face and lie. He can tell a complete lie, that everyone knows is a lie, and go on to his next remark.

Now the other night when Obama was speaking, he made the ridiculous claim that his reform would lower premiums by double digest. Actually he said 14-20%. This claim is simply false.

The Congressional Budget Office scored the health care bill and concluded that premiums would rise by 10-13%.

The reason it would appear to be less is that they could be offset with a tax credit, making it seem to be lower.

Obama later suggested that employers would see their premiums go down by 300%. Wow, that's shocking alright. It is also a lie. Later that night the White House Spokesman said that Obama meant to say that anual premiums would drop by about $3,000.

Keep in mind, this does not figure the new taxes, and regulations that will surely drive up costs.

Both of Obama's claims the other night, are widely inaccurate.
