When Bill Clinton finally had to admit he lied about Monica Lewinsky, most of America was willing to forgive him. After all, it was just about sex and a CYA lie to avoid personal embarrassment. I don't personally subscribe to that rationalization but many did. With President Obama's healthcare lie, I don't think Americans will be as forgiving as they were with Clinton. The reason is simple: Mr. Obama deceived the American people and his lie fooled them into voting for him over something that they wouldn't have otherwise agreed to. Furthermore, it is causing huge swaths of them personal harm. Tens of millions of Americans who previously had healthcare coverage that they were perfectly happy with may ultimately lose that coverage because of the new Obamacare insurance requirements. The polls are bearing this assertion out. The president's approval rating has dropped to 37% and some polls even show that many of those who voted for him would vote for Mitt Romney if they held the election today. Ouch! Talk about buyer's remorse. Can you blame them? If LT Dan were a real person instead of a fictional character, he would probably lose his healthcare because it doesn't cover podiatry care.
"But you ain't got no legs Lieutenant Dan."
