President Obama says '7 out of 10 will save money' by revisiting HealthCare.gov

As Twitchy reported this morning, President Obama in an interview with ESPN Radio’s Colin Cowherd revealed that he spends most of his morning watching ESPN, because he gets enough politics the rest of the day. That wasn’t the president’s only interview of the day, though; he also spoke with a radio station in Raleigh, N.C., and taped an interview with Ryan Seacrest to air Monday.

CBS News’ Mark Knoller managed to glean an interesting nugget from the president’s second interview.

In 2nd radio interview urging ObamaCare enrollment, Pres Obama recommended revisiting http://t.co/uxc8pXhiZp: "7 out of 10 will save money."

@markknoller That's strange, 9-10 people I've talked to about it experienced higher rates and premiums.

Don’t we remember hearing Obama say somewhere that the typical family would save $2,500 in premiums each year? (Note especially candidate Obama’s slip-up at 2:15 where he promises that “all families” will save up to $2,500.)

So now expectations have been lowered to 7 out of 10 saving an unspecified amount of money.

@markknoller Yeah yeah and I can keep my doctor….

@markknoller I assume he made that up on the fly & wasn't challenged with a follow up question?

@markknoller "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan"; so why should I believe Obama that 7 in 10 will save money?

@markknoller Such a damn liar, @BarackObama is. Pathological probably, shameless certainly.

@lybr3 @markknoller what if I was paying zero before because I chose to not have a plan?
