Obama Pretty Blatantly Lies About Single Payer at New Hampshire Town Hall ( August 11, 2009)
"I have not said that I am a supporter of a single-payer system," Obama tells the crowd in New Hampshire.
The Wall Street Journal's Washington Wire, August 19, 2008: "Obama Touts Single-Payer System for Health Care":
Barack Obama said he would consider embracing a single-payer health-care system, beloved by liberals, as his plan for broader coverage evolves over time.
“If I were designing a system from scratch, I would probably go ahead with a single-payer system,” Obama told some 1,800 people at a town-hall style meeting on the economy.

UPDATE:
More Lies?
OBAMA: "We have the AARP on board because they know this is a good deal for our seniors,”
AARP STATEMENT: While the President was correct that AARP will not endorse a health care reform bill that would reduce Medicare benefits, indications that we have endorsed any of the major health care reform bills currently under consideration in Congress are inaccurate."
