Here is one to start...

"ABC News' Jonathan Karl reports: What does it take to get a wavering senator to vote for health care reform? Here’s a case study. On page 432 of the Reid bill, there is a section increasing federal Medicaid subsidies for “certain states recovering from a major disaster.” The section spends two pages defining which “states” would qualify, saying, among other things, that it would be states that “during the preceding 7 fiscal years” have been declared a “major disaster area.” I am told the section applies to exactly one state: Louisiana, the home of moderate Democrat Mary Landrieu, who has been playing hard to get on the health care bill. In other words, the bill spends two pages describing would could be written with a single world: Louisiana. (This may also help explain why the bill is long.) Senator Harry Reid, who drafted the bill, cannot pass it without the support of Louisiana’s Mary Landrieu. How much does it cost? According to the Congressional Budget Office: $100 million."

and another...there are more...

"Ben Nelson’s “Cornhusker Kickback,” as the GOP is calling it, got all the attention Saturday, but other senators lined up for deals as Majority Leader Harry Reid corralled the last few votes for a health reform package.

Nelson’s might be the most blatant – a deal carved out for a single state, a permanent exemption from the state share of Medicaid expansion for Nebraska, meaning federal taxpayers have to kick in an additional $45 million in the first decade.

But another Democratic holdout, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), took credit for $10 billion in new funding for community health centers, while denying it was a “sweetheart deal.” He was clearly more enthusiastic about a bill he said he couldn’t support just three days ago. "

The Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 repealed and removed the so-called "Cornhusker Kickback" agreement. It was never included in the final agreement, and Senator Ben Nelson D-NE voted no on the Affordable Care Act.

Just curious...still no response on why anyone would lie......or comments on the lies told...

In his auto biography....nobody has addressed. TALTARZAC is correct, the paragraph about ONE of the stories was in fact in the book....BUT NOT IN THE FIRST PUBLICATION AND NOT UNTIL CAUGHT. Check it out

Nobody has addressed lies 2, 3 or 4 from his book.

Nobody has addressed the lies from the health care debacle, especially the ones made directly to the american public.
The link given on Nebraska does not even mention all the other states such as LA and is basicall a democratic response on how it would have happened anyway.

Seems to me that you folks who find the need to defend Obama have yourself on your heels and think that if you write something on 1 of a number of lies, you are clear.

ON the House investigation, as I started the post...I said...WE WILL SEE WHERE THIS GOES, but you didnt see that I suppose and I understand with all the other deceitful things that revolve around this healtcare bill.

But he still has lied..nobody has even come close to disproving anyof them. The only one is #1 on his autobiography and that note was NOT in the original publication.

I really do not see the big deal if he made a composite of several girlfriends into a couple of girlfriends. From what I can tell, he was writing about racism encountered while out with these various women. The points he was trying to make were about social conditions and not about the specific women he dated. Unless he were someone like George Clooney at the time he wrote his autobiography, doubt if many people would care about his love life.

If I accept that ONE,which as I said was NOT in the original publication, please address the other 3 lies in the autobiography and the lies before, in and after the healthcare bill, which affects a ton of americans.

PS...I might add that other presidents have been called liars for much much less,and to me, it opens up the door. IF he lied about things in his autobiography, did he lie about Bill Ayers....what else did he lie about ? And if he lied about our Health care, how do you trust him ?
