Woodward says no scandal in false promise of Obamacare

How can it not be a scandal?  If people die because they cannot get healthcare because of the broken promise?  Secondly, the broken promise was deceitful, deliberately so.  How is this not scandalous?

There were those who wanted to prosecute Bush because of Iraq.  It was claimed that Bush lied and people died.  So, how is this different? Actually, it is different.  It is arguable that Bush lied, but not arguable that Obama lied.  For Bush to have lied about Iraq, he would have had to be able to read Saddam Hussein's mind. But no such thing is necessary in Obama's case. He knew what he was doing.

The definition of fraud basically means to lie when the lie makes a difference.  You have to prove deliberate deception and that the deception made a diffference in the defrauded person's behavior.  Bush could not have committed fraud, but Obama sure did.  Obama could be prosecuted for fraud and possibly murder.

Those who attacked Bush would defend Obama.  It wouldn't be based upon facts, however.  Neither was it based upon facts in Bush's case.  These who attacked Bush did so for political reasons.  They would defend Obama because of blind partisanship.
