Obama Falsely Claims AARP Endorses His Heath Care Plan

President Obama today suggested that the health care reform legislation for which hes pushing has been endorsed by the American Association of Retired Person.
We have the AARP on board because they know this is a good deal for our seniors, the president said.
At another point he said: Well, first of all, another myth that we've been hearing about is this notion that somehow we're going to be cutting your Medicare benefits. We are not. AARP would not be endorsing a bill if it was undermining Medicare, okay?

The problem?

The AARP hasn't endorsed any plan yet.

The country's largest advocacy group for Americans over 50 issued a statement after the event saying, "While the President was correct that AARP will not endorse a health care reform bill that would reduce Medicare benefits, indications that we have endorsed any of the major health care reform bills currently under consideration in Congress are inaccurate."

Did Obama really falsely say that AARP endorsed Socialized Medicine? If AARP is not in support of Socialized Medicine, then why is AARP running political ads in favor of Socialized Medicine?

[lookhearseee]

Yes, apparently he did, if you believe what AARP said in the description of this video. AARP may be in favor of "Socialized Medicine", but they have not "Endorsed" any particular plan as of this date.

Now, let me see!

Is this Obama's FIRST LIE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ? nooooooo.

Is Obama knowledgable about the proposed bill? noooooooo.

Is Obama just following his heart? nooooooo, ( it is evident he doesn't have one.)

Does anyone still believe this president is going to do ANYTHING THAT COULD BE CONSIDERED DECENT, HONORABLE AND GOOD FOR THE HARD WORKING, PATRIOTIC, DECENT, AMERICAN PEOPLE?

I don't think so!

[News4usall]

So busted. How could he be wrong about this? You could only say that he was lying.

AARP is also a big political machine and a liar. I won't EVER join them, no matter how ancient I become...and because of Obama, I will never be financially able to retire anyway.

[jakefree25]

Hey you stupid low class teabaggers. The AARP does support the bill, so take your lie about Obama's lie and shove it up your common, ignorant, fat butts. No wonder why you people like Beck and Palin so much, you are allergic to intelligence as well as honesty.

The Wookie and the Dear leader need to get their stupid scare stories straight.

Dear Leader said 8 days ago that "Sasha, was diagnosed with meningitis when she was just three months old,"

The Wookie said, "A doctors visit revealed she might have meningitis; she ultimately did not, but the illness produced a scare."

These people will say anything, do anything, lie, cheat and steal to get whatever they want.

Now go ahead and all me a RACIST no one cares what you say anyway!

[MSNBCFAN]

Anyone who watches this video is racist!!!! You racist haters are going to get whats coming to you and Obama is going to make sure that happens!!!!

[mattlg58]

So he is saying "AARP wouldn't support a bill that undermines senoiors" and they don't support the bill in the house.... Is he implying that is why? LOL, I love when salesmen get caught in a lie.
