Politifact's 2013 Lie of the Year
« on: December 13, 2013, 02:39:39 am »
PolitiFact--which is certainly not a right-wing organization--has now labeled President Obama's promise, "If you like your health care plan, you can keep it"--sometimes punctuated with the emphatic, "period; end of story"--as its 2013 Lie of the Year:  http://www.politifact.com/

This is most intriguing...

yes, but no doubt the "solution" will be to double down on the socialism in order to "fix" the problem.

Or maybe he will come up with an even bigger lie. He still has just over 2 weeks.

I have a hunch that you are correct.  (A rough analogue:  If the stimulus does not fix the economy, the solution must be more stimulus...)
