Stewart Mocks Obama for Pretending He Never Promised Americans Could Keep Plans

STEWART: "Now here in the states we're still working out some of the fine print on our new health care system. Right now there's talk that the President of the United States was less than a hundred percent honest with some of his health care rhetoric."

OBAMA: "If you like your current plan, you will be able to keep it."

STEWART: "Did he just say if we like our current plan, we'll be able to keep it?"
[video clip]
OBAMA: "Let me repeat that. If you like your plan, you'll be able to keep it."
[end video clip]
STEWART: "I thought that was what you said."
[video clip]
OBAMA: "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor."
[end video clip]
STEWART: "Do you want to add any caveats to that because it sounds kind of definitive."
[video clip]
OBAMA: "We will keep this promise to the American people. If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period ... If you like your healthcare plan, you'll be able to keep your healthcare plan. Period."
[end video clip]
STEWART: "Period! First of all I do not think you're supposed to read the punctuation in the speeches. I'm pretty sure [indecipherable]. And second of all, how would that definitive statement sound post implementation of the said health care act when it's abundantly clear you cannot always keep your plan or your doctor."
[video clip]
OBAMA: "If you had or have one of these plans before the Affordable Care Act came into law, and you really like that plan. What we said was you could keep it. If it hasn't changed since the law's passed."
[end video clip]
STEWART: "Well, no, no, no. no, What you said was, you can keep it. Period. Now what you said, what you said there was more like you can keep your health care plan; Ellipses; Comma; because it may no longer meet the minimum requirements or your insurance company may not be extending your plan or some odd bureaucratic unattended offshoot. Period. Emoticon denoting a combination of embarrassment and arrogance. Did I do that?"
