Palin: The Only Promise Obama Has Kept Was To Fundamentally Transform America

July 1, 2012



Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin appeared on Fox News Channel’s The Five on Friday where she gave a wide ranging interview about the Supreme Court decision on health care on Thursday as well as her objections to health care reform legislation. Towards the end of the interview, Palin challenged ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos to call out President Barack Obama for lying to him in an interview where he famously claimed that the individual mandate in health care reform was not a tax.
Co-host Eric Bolling asked Palin to weigh in on the broadly varying conservative reaction to the Supreme Court’s verdict on health care reform.

“I can see both sides of this,” said Palin. She said that there are conservatives who are understandably disappointed that the court did not overturn the health care law, while others might be saying “right on, Supreme Court, thank you for concluding that this is a tax – despite what Obama had promised that it’s not a tax.”

“The glass being half full now tells us, good,” Palin continued. “You put it back in our hands, the people’s hands.” She said that this tax will be either enacted or rescinded by Congress – she recommended that after the Congress returns from recess that they should begin the process of rescinding that tax in order to defund health care reform.
