As Twitchy told you, earlier today, President Obama claimed that Obamacare “premiums are going up for a handful of people.” Harper’s columnist and “Up in the Air” author Walter Kirn — who almost three years ago withdrew his initial support for Obamacare after experiencing its awfulness first-hand — was disgusted when learned of what the president said today:
This a ridiculous untruth. Obama – Only ‘ A Handful of People ’ Are Seeing Obamacare Premiums Go Up… https://t.co/H7zLp97EcI

I respect our president but to say this to people who know it is false and are in great difficulty because of it is beneath him. https://t.co/1nBq1QW04Y

With all due respect to Mr. Kirn, this sort of thing isn’t beneath Obama. At all. Ridiculous untruths are merely par for this president’s course.
