Back in 2009, Obama made a promise to the American people, referring to what would soon be known as the Obamacare, making health insurance affordable to all. Obama stated, "Here’s a guarantee that I've made. If you have insurance that you like, then you will be able to keep that insurance. If you've got a doctor that you like, you will be able to keep your doctor." According to the article, "Clarence Page: Obama Told "One Of Those Political Lies" About Health Insurance," Clarence Page defends Obamacare and yet justifies that Barack Obama did lie although he states that it was "one of those political lies." Although a supporter of Obamacare, his positive opinion on Obama's broken commitment to the people of America seems to persist. And although, the reporter (Hugh Hewitt) tries to insist that what Obama has done is something that the American public may disapprove Page continues avoiding the subject because these lies through politics are "regular" "common" and people should be "used" to them. It's amusing.. well not really, its bit annoying how lies easily slip in the politcal world and many other places. I get it, you want to get better results for a better good, but once oyu make a commitment and it has been recorded you're done, you cannot change it or else you deceive he peopel and yourself on your promise. And someone accepts that this is...reasonable. I dislike the liar but I am frustrated and provoked at those who accept these broken promises. Although in the end Page clears up the details with the reporter by stating "Well, a lot of things bother me more than that, but not because of overselling his program. Every president oversells their programs. But just the fact that the whole process of putting Obamacare together disturbed me that he gave up too much early on, in my view." Though I know there would be others who would not follow such beliefs.
