Let HHS nominee Sylvia Burwell explain Obamacare lie.

[WAPO] President Obama's choice of Sylvia Burwell to replace Kathleen Sebelius as secretary of Health and Human Services thrusts Obamacare right back into the national spotlight -- and with it Obama's false promise that "if you like your health-care plan, you can keep your health-care plan."
Appears Ms. Burwell and OMB presidential speech 'Fact Checkers' missed a whopper, or did they ?

#1 In all fairness, Ms Burwell was not head of the OMB the first time Mr. Obama made the "you can keep" prevarication.

However, she was in charge when the prevarications continued (and during the sequestration and all its antics)

#2 Entirely correct. She was not the 'head' when the prevarication was committed, some multiple dozens of times. Let the record be so corrected. Not that it matters much, but potentially an 'Accessory After the Fact.'

~ Whoever, knowing that an offense has been committed, receives, relieves, comforts or assists the offender in order to hinder or prevent his apprehension, trial or punishment, is an accessory after the fact; one who knowing a felony to have been committed by another, receives, relieves, comforts, or assists the felon in order to hinder the felon's apprehension, trial, or punishment. U.S.C. 18

#3 And Seblius is now residing in her 2.4 million dollar estate. Oh, the sufferings of the public servant.

#4 She was not the 'head' when the prevarication was committed, some multiple dozens of times.

No, I said she was not the head of OMB when Obama made the first prevarication. She was head of the OMB as the prevarications continued.
Kindly show me where I said anything that could be interpreted as "She was not the 'head' when the prevarication was committed, some multiple dozens of times."

She'll likely be asked about it. However, I don't think anything remotely resembling U.S.C 18 will be applied.

#5 My bad on the agency and title if incorrect. Otherwise, an argument over agreement. Strange very strange, possibly the meds.

Clarification:

She was bean counter who would have had to have had knowledge of the ACA deception, unless of course she wasn't worth her salt. Which makes her another Sebelius useful idiot.

The nomination of Ms. Burwell was expected. Ms. Burwell, 48, spent much of the ast year mired in Washingtons fiscal fights, including the standoff that led to a 15-day government shutdown last fall. She also handled health policy as part of her job as Mr. Obamas budget chief.

Link.

#6 Well, yes. Essentially she would have been involved in the ACA from both the nuts-and-bolts and the OMB standpoints. More like a party hack along the lines of Wasserman-Schultz or Lerner than a useful idiot for Sebelius.

Interesting article, BTW:

When the government was forced to shut down last October, and even as her own team was barred from reporting to work, Sylvia was a rock, a steady hand on the wheel who helped navigate the country through a very challenging time, Mr. Obama said.

However, it appears the questioning will be confined to the ACA.

#7 was interesting to find out she was one of Hillary's henchmen going through Vince Foster's trash as his dead corpse was chillin' in Ft. Marcy Park
