I was browsing factcheck and came across this... really jumped out at me for some reason. And maybe it's just me, but isn't this factcheck trying to re-tell (in their interpretation) what Obama "really meant to say"?
So, Obama's words :
In the second debate with John McCain in 2008, Barack Obama promised, “We’re going to work with your employer to lower the cost of your premiums by up to $2,500 a year.”
◾Proponents say premiums will go down, while opponents say they’ll go up. In general, employer plans won’t be affected much, and a price change for individuals seeking their own insurance will vary from person to person. Obama claimed that all of the uninsured would see lower premiums than what they could get now (before accounting for federal subsidies), but that’s not the case.
Is that really all he claimed factcheck? Or isn't it a bit dishonest not to say he promised people who were employed ,in general, to get this savings as well?
