Charles Krauthammer Asks, "Does Obama Lie?"

In Charles Krauthammer's post today at Town Hall, he asks if Obama lies and then analyzes his health care speech to discern truth or lie, or if it's just dubious talk. He focuses on three points in the speech:


  1. "I will not sign (a plan)," he solemnly pledged, "if it adds one dime to the deficit, now or in the future. Period."

  2. He asserts that illegals will not be covered in the legislation, even though all bills presented so far do so.

  3. Obama said he would largely solve the insoluble cost problem of Obamacare by eliminating "hundreds of billions of dollars in waste and fraud" from Medicare.



I won't spoil the article for you; it is a good one.
