Dem Keith Ellison Interprets Obama: 'If You Misunderstood What I Was Trying to Say, I'm Sorry'

Being a leftist of the Obama ilk, you have to assume that Congressman Keith Ellison thought he was doing the president a favor in offering his interpretation of the president's "if you like your plan, you can keep it" line, as well as his subsequent non-apology apology.

But on today's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos," Ellison wound up putting words in the president's mouth that very literally added insult to injury. Ellison first falsely claimed that Pres. Obama had said "if you like your decent insurance, your insurance that works, then you can keep it." Obama of course never said any such thing. Moreover, according to Ellison, by his apology Obama meant "if you misunderstood what I was trying to say, I'm sorry." So the fault lies not with Obama for having blatantly misled the American people. No, it's those ignorant Americans—too dense to dig the real meaning of the great man's words—who are to blame.

Let’s interpret Obama - I really am not sorry for destroying the USA. It was part of the plan. In 2015, 90% part of the USA will not be employed. When I was at Columbia University I studied husband and wife team Cloward and Pivens desire to destroy America. I also studied abroad through Columbia University’s Extended Degree program - in the Soviet Union, China and Cuba. This is why no one saw me at Columbia. See, I as Obama have many people whom will support me in my desire to end the USA. So you suckers in the Midwest get ready for America to implode.

He lied to get re-elected. But the republicans let him get away with it. Remember, Obama’s a good guy but he shouldn’t be president.

And, the voters were stupid enough to believe him. And they’ll vote for him again if they get the chance.
