Gotta say, that is definitely the biggest lie of the year haha

Its probably not the kind of recognition he wanted to receive, but President Barack Obama has been awarded PolitiFacts Lie of the Year for 2013.

The infamous prize, handed out annually by the fact-checking website PolitiFact, was given to Obama because of his statements claiming that Americans would be able to keep their health insurance under the Affordable Care Act if they liked their plan.

If you like your health care plan, you can keep it, Obama said on numerous occasions over the years. Soon after cancellation notices began arriving in American mailboxes this fall more than four million people have seen their coverage cancelled at this point, largely due to the fact that their coverage did not reach the ACAs minimum requirements Obama denied that such a promise was made, saying he actually meant that plans could be kept only if they hadnt changed since the health care law was passed.

Obamas explanation didnt pass muster, however, especially since hed been captured on video promising that health care plans would stay in place at least two dozen times. Facing public backlash, Obama apologized and unveiled a one-year plan to allow insurers keep selling existing plans that are about to be cancelled.

We weren't as clear as we needed to be, in terms of the changes that were taking place, and I want to do everything we can to make sure that people are finding themselves in a good position," Obama said in a November interview with NBC News. "I am sorry that they are finding themselves in this situation, based on assurances they got from me.

Since his promise was deemed false, the presidents approval ratings have declined sharply. Larry Sabato of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia told PolitiFact that Obamas credibility can be restored over time with effective implementation of the law, but that he faces a significant challenge.

That is a different story though, Obama said he would get us out of this too, but he didn't. But I don't hold that against him, because I just knew he wasnt going to be able to. But this was a big lie because doing what he wants to do is possible, but he **** up and lied.

I think Obama successfully beat out Bush as the worst president of my lifetime.

Read about this the other day, wasn't surprised. Was surprised that he didn't receive it earlier though.

There was a video with a counter of every time he said that.

It was about 100 or so.

Best Lie Ever.

Rofl "lie of the year" more like lies of the year.
