President Obama isn’t on the ballot this year. And when he was on the ballot, he won more votes than any other American in history – twice. But the Koch Brothers think that they can defeat Alan Grayson by dragging President Obama through the mud, and Grayson with him. The anti-Grayson ads begin by claiming that President Obama told “the lie of the year,” and that Grayson “backed him up.” They’re referring – in their usual abusive fashion – to the fact that President Obama said that if you like your current insurance, then you can keep it under Obamacare. Which actually is true – unless your insurance company refuses to renew it. It’s not Obamacare that’s ending the coverage, it’s the insurance companies. Republicans GOP blocked and attacked a law that would require insurance companies to renew policies. Obamacare undertook the effort to make health insurance universal, comprehensive and affordable, without the provision the GOP blocked. Because President Obama undertook this effort, the Koch Brothers now label him the Liar of the Year and are trying to take Grayson along for the same ride. The Kochs are stepping up attacks on Grayson because he plans to run for President in 2016. Grayson has a good chance unless the Kochs succeed with their on-slot of lies.
