In an exclusive one-on-one interview with NBC’s Chuck Todd, President Obama said he was sorry to learn that people were receiving cancellation notices in the mail “based on assurances they got from me.” Of course, Twitchy has been telling the stories of these cancellations for weeks; still, that’s only a fraction of the time that President Obama has been assuring Americans that if they like their current doctors and health plans, they can keep them, period.
A one-on-one sit-down was perhaps the only place the president felt he could deliver such an “apology,” but are the people buying it? Well, they’re still forced to whether they want to or not.
Keep your apology! Just repeal! Exclusive: Obama personally apologizes for Americans losing health coverage http://t.co/OGg5ODTyXd

I dont get it. Why is Obama apologizing for people losing their insurance? Last week he said they were all junk policies. Was he lying then?

"I'm sorry this happened based on assurances you got from me"
"So I get my plan back?"
"Fuck no! It's full steam ahead baby!"

I'm sorry you're in the situation you feel you're in based on your interpretation of my assurances
— Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) November 7, 2013
This is an "I'm sorry if you were offended" apology, not an "I did something wrong and I will try to fix it" apology. Big difference.

. . . the murderers would say, “and then the knife went in,” or, “and then she was stabbed.” Actually, no. You stabbed her.

Question is: How long will it be 'til normal service is resumed? Are we back to “it wasn’t misleading” and "insurers did it!” by morning?

In years to come I shall use that clip to teach my children what an apology from a lawyer under political duress looks like.

Tomorrow, we’re going to see a slew of “The President Shouldn’t Have Apologized” columns from people who need mocking relentlessly.

Honestly, was this a planned apology? It's so half-hearted I'm not sure POTUS knows what he's unleashed.

If you read the transcript in full, you'd have to re-read to find the apology…

There’s at least one other way to look at it.
i'd rather have an apology for all the promises he kept.
