Does this mean that the President lied to you?

Obama: Legalize illegals to get them health care

"President Obama said this week that his health care plan won't cover illegal immigrants, but argued that's all the more reason to legalize them and ensure they eventually do get coverage. "

This sounds to me like the President knew he was telling a lie to the nation when he said that illegals were not going to be covered by the Health Care Reform Bill.

    Governments response is a typical liberal, take no responsibility for anything plan. It has been stated, there is no plan set in stone, subject to change at anytime. Therefore when you say illegals will be covered, as Joe Wilson stated when calling Obama a liar. Obama did not lie. He simply eluded once again his responsibility to act as a leader, escalating his questionable activities and hidden agendas with Arrogance before the American people. Claiming illegals will not be covered, knowing this is subject to change, minute by minute. Typical cop out. Where is the honesty. Even a tinge would be an improvement.

    But if we legalize them first the give them coverage illegals won't get coverage. Only formerly illegal ones will.

    Obama could have used a couple of billions of dollars of stimulus money to round them up and transport them back to their own country. Obama's transparency is very hazy and certainly not very clear for all to see which is how the liberals/democrats/ACORN like it.
