When the U.S. Supreme Court upheld Obamacare Thursday, President Barack Obama spoke of the time he met a mom whose son was saved thanks to the law. But when asked to explain the story, the White House went silent.
“And they’ve told me that it has changed their lives for the better,” the president declared. “I’ve had moms come up and say, my son was able to see a doctor and get diagnosed, and catch a tumor early, and he’s alive today because of this law. This law is working. And it’s going to keep doing just that.”
After the detailed aside was made, The Daily Caller News Foundation reached out to White House press secretary Josh Earnest directly asking for some additional details including the context of the conversation and what were the circumstances leading to the president meeting the mother.
Despite several requests over two days, the White House has refused to substantiate the story.

When was the last time anyone was able to "come up and say" anything to Zero? Isn't he protected by SS agents with guns, not to mention sycophants to prevent any contact at all with the hoi polloi?
If Obama said it, its a lie. The truth is not in him, especially if a lie will further his political agenda.
This tumor-thing may be it!!!
Start the process.....I'm in complete agreement he should be cannonized as soon as possible.
Exactly the same point I was about to post, unbelievable.
Probably.
Leftists are always boiling things down to cases, and most people are too stupid to understand the difference between exceptions and regular events
Yes, if you give some people money to buy health insurance, before your ill-considered plan destroys the system, at least a few of those people will benefit.
That’s where he belongs. In some converted bodega preaching Jeremiah Wright’s communist “Black Liberation Theology”
Isn’t this a HIPPA violation?
I am waiting for him to part the seas and raise the dead.
For a turtle, he sure managed to get himself high on the fencepost.
He prophesied that he would cause the oceans to recede.
I agree with your post completely, except that this quote from Obama is doubtful on many levels. I will list just a few but could go on for pages.
1. Almost everything Obama says is a lie which has been made up for maximum impact especially stuff about moms, kids, puppies, and apple pie. Things Obama says that are not outright lies are usually extreme exaggerations that bear little resemblance to what actually happened.
2. If a kid had a big lump somewhere... his mom would most likely have taken him in to get it checked out regardless of whether they had subsidized health insurance or not.
3. Most tumors are not cancerous, not dangerous to your health and will dissipate on their own.
4. If the kid had an unnoticed tumor that was causing no symptoms it would not likely have been found in a routine check-up anyway.
5. If this was a true story, someone in the Obama administration would have gotten the details and released them because they are always looking any justification to further their agenda.
6. Obama keeps himself completely isolated from the public. There simply is no way that he just happened to have a conversation with someone who wasn't thoroughly scrutinized ahead of time.
