It has huge entertainment value as the Dems rally to cover his obvious lies on one hand, while accusing Bush of lying without any basis to do so.
this is where you idiots routinely fail. Dumb ass wilbur is worried that Huff po will influence Conservative voters and The Heretic doesn't even bother to read the article he is citing.
Here is the last paragraph...
The New York Times notes that the White House is not challenging Scott's account:
"We have not reviewed the letters or other material on which the author bases her account," said Nicholas Papas, the (White House) spokesman. "The president has told this story based on his recollection of events that took place more than 15 years ago."
In her book, published in May by Riverhead Books, Ms. Scott writes that Mr. Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, had an employer-provided health insurance policy that paid her hospital bills directly, leaving her "to pay only the deductible and any uncovered expenses, which, she said, came to several hundred dollars a month."
Mr. Papas suggested that even if Ms. Scott was correct, Mr. Obama had not mischaracterized the facts because his mother needed her disability insurance payments to cover unreimbursed medical costs.
"As Ms. Scott's account makes clear, the president's mother incurred several hundred dollars in monthly uncovered medical expenses that she was relying on insurance to pay," Mr. Papas said. "She first could not get a response from the insurance company, then was refused coverage. This personal history of the president's speaks powerfully to the impact of pre-existing condition limits on insurance protection from health care costs."
So predictable and so pathetic. Read and you might learn a thing or two.
The dumb ass Conservatives once again chime in without reading a source.
