Then vs now: Mary Landrieu on Barack Obama’s ‘if you like your plan you can keep it’ lie

  Mary Landrieu voted for Obamacare but now that she is up for reelection she is calling out Barack Obama for his ‘if you like your plan you can keep it’ lie in a new campaign ad.

  In her new campaign ad she states “you told them they could keep it.” [emphasis mine] She is speaking directly to Barack Obama and his now infamous promise. She has now introduced a bill  to “fix” Barack Obama’s broken promise while championing herself as an Obamacare reformer. She states that Barack Obama needs to keep to his word for it is a promise he made and so it is a promise he should keep. 

  Here is the campaign ad:

  She is clearly trying to distance herself from Barack Obama’s broken promise. However, as this article points out, Barack Obama is not the only one who made this promise.

   This is what Mary Landrieu was saying about Obamacare, and Barack Obama’s promise, back in 2009:

  In 2009 Mary Landrieu said Barack Obama’s ‘if you like your plan you can keep it’ promise was very accurate, but now she is singing quite a different tune. 

  So back in 2009 Mary Landrieu was either a useful idiot who had no idea what was in the bill because she did not read it and was simply mindlessly parroting what the president was telling her and the American people, or she was also lying to the American people. Which is it Mary? You cannot have it both ways.
