Obama: Mitt Fact-Checked By Own Campaign!

Source: TPM

During his appearance just now in the DC suburbs of northern Virginia, President Obama referred to that part of Wednesday’s debate when Mitt Romney claimed his own health care reform plan would cover people with pre-existing conditions:

But after he said that, then he backtracked and said, no, wait, at least I’ll make sure to cover folks with pre-existing conditions. And then I explained, well, actually, your plan doesn’t do that. And then his campaign had to come out and say, actually, that’s not true, our plan wouldn’t do that. So Governor Romney was fact-checked by his own campaign. That’s rough. That’s rough.
