Obama Says You Can Keep Your Plan 29 Times

(Submitted by Jill [High Praise!])

But now:

Speaking to supporters in Washington on Monday, Obama claimed that in the past, he said, “You could keep [your plan] if it hasn’t changed since the law was passed.”

By the way, the video SOUNDS like it’d be boring, but he says it a different way each time, so I found myself watching with rapt fascination as he nuanced lie after lie to make it sound like he meant it.

Take back his Nobel Prize and give that man an Oscar.

  1. I’m surprised that they haven’t tried the spin, “The President is shocked, SHOCKED to find out so many people, in their heart of hearts, never really liked their own plans. Shocked I say!”

  2. with the obscure musical reference.

    The President said 29 times

    He said twenty-nine different times
    Telling twenty-nine little lies
    Now there are twenty-nine million complainin’ to the world
    About being sold with 29 lies

    He did twenty-nine kinds of selling
    Twenty-nine lies for the telling
    They came from twenty-nine speechwriting hacks
    telling us 29 times different facts

    He’s a yip-yip-yippy-eyed folly
    With facts that don’t stand the test
    With a yip-yip-yippy by-golly
    Whenever he lies, he lies the best

    He knew twenty-nine different ways
    Gave it twenty-nine different plays
    He is a guy that said you be able to keep your plan
    When he knew it wouldn’t stand.

    He lied twenty-nine different times, baby
    Promised twenty-nine times he wouldn’t break your hearts
    Mmm, oy-da, doy-da, twenty-nine million complainin’ to the New York Times
    About the Prez promisin’ 29 times

    If you got twenty-nine Cadillac Plans baby
    Twenty-nine stable deductibles with them Cadillacs
    Mmm, boy-da, doy-da, twenty-nine times he explained
    The ACA would cause you no pain

    But he’s a yippety-yippety-yippety-eye, oh, what a folly
    Making a promise he should not break
    And yippety-yippety-yippety-eye, oh, by-golly
    But 29 times he was on the make.

    He said twenty-nine different ways
    If you liked your plan you can stay
    (Wow)
    25 hundred less you’ll pay, what a scammer!
    (Who?)
    The President who told us 29 times, what a liar that Obama.
