White House Points to Lower National Voter Intelligence Estimates

Washington, D.C.--In a widely touted press conference on health care legislation, President Obama stated his proposals “will keep government out of health care decisions.”

But according to the Associated Press, Obama’s “principles of reform … plainly show the government making key decisions in health care.”

When asked how he could defend the counter-factual statement he made at the press conference, President Obama pointed to his Administration’s most recent "voter intelligence estimates," which have been dramatically lowered in recent months.
