Politifact Names Obama’s ‘Keep Your Plan’ Promise Its Lie of the Year

DROBNIC HOLAN: "Yeah. The editors of PolitiFact selected this because it had the most impact on the national debate. It's something we first flagged back in 2009. We said this is partly right. The health care law does leave in place the existing health care system. But it's partly wrong because we knew back then not everybody would be able to keep their health care plan. And this was the year that it was proved false as these cancellation letters went out at the end of the year."
TAPPER: "So that upgrades it from theoretically, possibly true, possibly false, to pants on fire alive, the fact that it was implemented, and if you like your health plan, you can't necessarily keep your health plan."
DROBNIC HOLAN: "Well what happened was the president came out later and said, oh, well, you never said that, we said that if your plan hadn't changed since the law was passed, but we went back -- "
TAPPER: "That's not what he said."
DROBNIC HOLAN: "We found 37 separate instances where he said clearly, with no caveats that you could keep your plan, and that got the pants on fire rating, that excuse."
