The top four Democrats said they won’t apologize for [President Obama’s] promise, instead defending the language of the Affordable Care Act — their prized legislative achievement.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who shepherded ObamaCare through the House as speaker, said Obama was “very gracious” in making that apology but that the president’s words — in the context of the law — were “absolutely” precise.
“There’s nothing in the Affordable Care Act that says that your insurance company should cancel you,” she told reporters. “That’s not what the Affordable Care Act is about. It simply didn’t happen.”
She continued that she did not make a similar statement to her constituents, noting that she “would have if I ever met anybody that liked his or her plan, but that was not my experience.” (More)

Lol, wut?
She’s never met someone who liked their plan? M’ok.
Exactly. Don’t you know that people pay for what they don’t like?
“in the context of the law — were “absolutely” precise.”
She has to at least see that they were misleading, right? I am Nancy Pelosi isn’t THAT stupid…
Maybe it was a slip of the tongue and she is saying that he lied because it is good for us. So, in that sense, his words for precise.
*were precise
That would go with Gruber’s “genetic lottery” theory. Much like higher premiums for healthy people because they are naturally better, we all have to suffer through lies because we are genetically more moral and deserve to be knocked down a peg.
Was that too big of a stretch? I just wanted to rehash Gruber’s words. They were very telling.
The squeaky wheel gets the grease…
I don’t see how “precise” words could result in a 2,000+ page law.
They were “precisely” intended to obfuscate.
I wonder who is trusted more, Rob Ford or Obama?
At least Ford admitted that he was in the wrong.
At least Ford knows that he did something wrong. I suspect Obama would do it all again.
He’s probably planning on it.
They may not want to say they’re sorry, but imo they’re a really sorry bunch.
And imo, most people can now see that for a fact.
Check out a recent article called
“Covered California required health insurers to cancel plans.”
If a carrier wanted to sell on the exchange, they were required to send out cancellation letters.
I do not know if this was true in other states. If anyone knows, tell me.
It suggests another big whopper by Pres Obama.
