Who you gonna believe?

During an interview with KTIV, Obama says that Obamacare doesn't impact and hurt businesses.



The transcript:
 KTIV-TV (Sioux City, Iowa) reporter Matt Breen: "One of those businesses that I mentioned said very specifically when they said they needed to close up shop and move their jobs back to Wisconsin was that it was a direct result of the health care reform that you initiated, that Congress passed. How do you react to that?"

President Obama: "That would be kind of hard to explain, because the only folks that have been impacted in terms of the health care bill are insurance companies who are required to make sure that they’re providing preventive care, or they’re not dropping your coverage when you get sick. And so, this particular company probably wouldn’t have been impacted by that. I know that there’s a perception sometimes that there’s all kinds of regulations coming out of Washington, the truth is actually we’ve seen fewer regulations coming out of my administration than the previous administration. But obviously, you know it’s tough running a small business no matter what. And we’re going to make sure that we continue to provide whatever financing help that we can provide.”
How out of touch with reality can you get.  I guess it's part of the continuing narrative from the White House that everything is someone else's fault.  That only sweetness, light and wonderful comes from The One.

And what about the whopper that fewer regulations have come out of the Obama administration?  Straight from Pinocchio himself.
