Is this misleading? Is this a lie? Is the president misleading the public?
Yes!
AARP has not thrown its support behind either the Republican or the Democratic health care plans. They have told the president so, and yet, the ads continue to mislead.
AARP did not endorse any plan. So? Why the ad?
While accusing the right of misinformation, when I saw the ad with the ambulance running and AARP's endorsement, it caused me pause. So I checked.
LIE and a big one!

What do you expect from him?
All I can say is more lies....and if one person in AARP supports him, he just stretches the truth and tries to make himself look good.
Mooch
How many times did we have to hear 'Bush' stole the election.
8 years if I'm not mistaken.....
I don't doubt there is a birth certificate, what I want to know and everyone else wants to know is what it says and how it was obtained.
Yeap, you're gonna hear it for me for the next 3.5 years, unless he gets himself impeached first....
"...AARP wants action this year to cover the uninsured and restrain health care costs, but the organization has refrained from endorsing legislation. Nelson [AARP COO] said AARP would not endorse a bill that reduces Medicare benefits.
A spokesman said the Medicare cuts that have been proposed so far would not affect benefits..."
So they have not yet, and may not, endorse this plan. But they do want to see health care reform.
Weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and started a war. A few months later he said Mission Accomplished , and war still drags on.
George wasn't the only one who said there were WMD... he wasn't the only one who wanted the war... there were several democrats hands in there as well.

Obama has ALREADY lied about several things....
for instance his insistance that if he became president there would be no earmarks. That there would be 5 days to review any new bill before he signs it, that everything would be open and transparent, that he wouldn't cater to lobbyists, that he would require government funded programs to use only US made materials, that he would end bi-partisanship and listen to ALL sides.....
yuk I'm makin' myself sick thinking about the mess this country has gotten itself into.
just cuz I iz long winded?

Its true every politician stretches the truth, I have yet to meet a completely honest one, however, Barry has been the worst that i can ever remember.
I don't trust Barry Soetoro for a single minute, he's he** bent on destroying democracy and turning this country into a country that is controlled, Socialism.
Truthfully, Obama has not addressed which bill is the preferred one, as far as I've been able to read, as they are all the result of their specific writers, not the president.
Sounds like you are saying two differing things here. Yet you're saying that they (AARP I assume) do see a need for health care reform. What is the "lie?" For my part I don't have a vested interest in any one bill but do feel it is imperative that something be passed. Health insurance in this country is a rancid mess and needs correcting.
NIGHT AL.
Folks each jump on their own party wagons and scream foul, and fail to notice the tires are flat and they're not going anywhere...
