What. A. Surprise.
Rep. John Dingell of Michigan has announced that he’ll retire at the end of this term after 58 years in Congress. President Obama wanted everybody to know that the greatest thing Dingell ever did in those nearly six decades was to help ram through Obamacare.
Obama on @John_Dingell: "He helped give millions of families the peace of mind of knowing they won’t lose everything if they get sick." #ACA

“Won’t lose everything,” except maybe for their previous health plan.
However, Obama saying Obamacare was Dingell’s most remarkable accomplishment could just be an attempt to pin the blame on the retiring congressman. You never know.
At least Dingell was truthful about Obamacare, albeit inadvertently, which is more than we can say for Obama:
@john_dingell showed what #Obamacare was all about when he used the words "control the people" in an interview just after it passed.
