Ed Henry: When Obama Promised People He Could Keep Their Plans, That Was Untrue, Wasn't It?
Jay Carney: He's Always Been Clear That People Will Get The Exact Same, Different Coverage

If he's always been clear people would be getting different, supposedly better coverage (such as 59 year old women now required to pay for maternity care), then why did he keep insisting "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan"?

Why didn't he promise "You're getting a new, different, more expensive (but supposedly) better plan"?

Because he was either lying or, given that Obama seems to know practically nothing of what goes on in his White House -- he seems to be given a speech to read, and doesn't know whether the speech is true or not -- it's actually possible he doesn't know these things at all.

After all, per Kathleen Sebelius, Obama was never told that the website he had a month ago promised would be as easy to use as buying a TV off Amazon was not ready to work and in fact was in disastrous shape.

What other truths are Obama's Yes Men afraid that Obama is incapable of handling?

I'll direct you to Hot Air for the Comically Evasive Mouthpiece Jay Carney's attempt to square this unsquarable circle.

Below, Jim Acosta asks him why Obama is always in the dark about virtually everything important going on in the world and in his White House. Obama, the supposed genius wonk, is forever claiming to have no previous "awareness" of things like the IRS scandal or Benghazi or the world's first SCOAMF website, Healthcare.gov.

Why shucks, he found out about these things same time you did -- from the newspaper.

Is this a lie?

Or, even worse, is it the truth?
