Apparently that heartrending story of Obama's mother spending her last days worrying about insurance that he used to push his idea to end pre-existing condition exclusion from insurance company wasn't exactly as heartrending...or as true as he has stated. In a new biography of the mother, the author claims that not only was Obama's mother not worrying endlessly about the family going bankrupt, as Obama claimed, but the insurance company apparently paid for the medical expenses without argument. When asked about the discrepancy, a white house official did not dispute the author's claim, but argued that Obama's overall message was still "salient" or prominent meaning basically that the idea of the story is what was important. They also said that Obama was reporting the story "based on his recollection of events."
I don't wanna blast him for making up a story, we all lie, but it is a bit disappointing (if the author is proven correct) that a President that ran on the line of "Hope" and "Change" would resort to the same dishonest tactics of the politicians we all hoped he was separating himself from. I don't want to condemn him without proof, but i do find it hard to believe that he could simply and innocently misremember such an emotional time to the extent that insurance became the main worry instead of his mother passing.
Anyways, I hope it's how he said it, but if not...I am disappoint
