If you haven't seen the above clip, you have probably been living in a cave. I elaborate below on the MSM's coverage of the Obama Town Hall in New Hampshire, but apparently I was a little too kind to Chuck Todd, calling his NBC Nightly News report "mostly straight reporting." I should have known better.
Three Sources points me to this scathing Heritage Foundation fact check of the Obamacare Pep Rally. It begins thusly:
Any doubts that President Barack Obama’s “townhall” in Portsmouth, New Hampshire yesterday was a complete farce were dispelled early on when the hand picked crowd broke out in a chant of: “Yes we can! Yes we can! Yes we can!” at the close of his opening remarks. Recognizing his campaign’s signature slogan, the President responded: “Thank you. I remember that.” Comforted knowing he was surrounded by a room full of die-hard supporters, President Obama then want on to make a number of misleading and outright false statements about the health care legislation still working it’s way through Congress.
Read it all here.
Parting shot:
And these are just some of the falsehoods and misinformation peddled by President Obama yesterday. It doesn’t even include his choice to sell Obamacare as The “Post Office” of Health Care Plans. No wonder so many Americans are skeptical.
