David Axelrod claims Obama line on keeping your coverage was 'substantially' true
Washington Examiner ^ | 11/05/2013 | Charlie Spiering

"The fact of the matter is, the president went out and said, I think he said what he believed to be the fact and what was substantially was the fact, because 90, whatever, 95, 96, 97 percent of Americans are in the position where they can keep the insurance they have and they're going to see no changes," Axelrod explained to MSNBC's Chris Hayes on Monday night.

Axelrod dismissed people currently losing their health plans as a "small group" of people who bought "substandard policies" in the individual market.

Well, it might be “true” in a double-plus ungood kind of way.

Hey, Axleshaft, the plan I am in has tripled in cost since Fubocare was passed.

FUDA, you are a liar, just like your boss.

Well, it was about as “true” as any other Democrat promise. “Truth” to a Democrat is whatever they can make the public believe and what they can get their partners in the media say.

Duh, it looks like we now know who came up with the money quote: “If you like your doctor, you can keep him.”

Maybe Axelrod also came up with the other money quote: “If you have a business, you didn’t build it.”

Obama’s arrogant LBR, (Lie-Blame-Ridicule), management style is finally obvious for all but the Leftstream Media to see.

Not that he shaved his hitleresque moustache. It makes him even more smarmy.

Reporter: David, you stated that what Obama said was substantially true. I don’t get it.

David: That’s because you don’t understand the term “substantially true”.

Reporter: I thought I did. It means that Obama’s statements were mostly true or at least weren’t outright lies. Where did I go wrong?

David: Like I said, you don’t understand what “substantially true” actually means. It certainly does not mean that the statement is true. I mean this is politics 101. Substantially True means that it serves our purpose at the time it is stated. It could be a complete lie. Truth is really not the key criteria. How much help the statement contributes to getting Obama elected was and is the only measure of what we choose to call The Truth. Third Term anyone?

If someone could just come up with an electricity-generating turbine that ran on bullshit the Obama administration could instantly solve the world’s energy problems.

Well no. But what difference does it make for the O-boys to lie yet again.

Bet Axelrod doesn’t have the balls to go on the Kelly File. There’s no way she’d let him get away with that crap.
