Facts Are Stubborn Things

My subject heading today comes from a White House Blog Post from August 4, 2009.

"Opponents of health insurance reform may find the truth a little inconvenient, but as our second president famously said, 'facts are stubborn things.'"

Yes.

"For the record, the President has consistently said that if you like your insurance plan, your doctor, or both, you will be able to keep them."

Yes.

"If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov."

Facts are stubborn things.
In retrospect, that stings.
