The White House is not rushing to claim President Obama's latest award: Lie of the year.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said Friday the administration is focused on putting its health care plan in place; he declined to discuss the declaration by the fact-checking website PolitiFact of its annual "lie of the year:" President Obama's past claim that if "if you like your health care plan, you can keep it."
Obama has apologized to Americans who lost their policies because of new federal regulations.
Carney did note that PolitiFact has in the past defended Obama's statement about existing insurance policies, before declaring it "lie of the year" over developments in recent months.
"End-of-the-year categorizations like that are always fun even when they don't jibe with past characterizations of the very same statement," Carney said. "But we're focused on implementation of the Affordable Care Act."Read the rest of the story HERE and watch the winning whopper below:

it's not lie of the year. It's Lie of the Century.
They say it's always a good thing to find something you're good at...PERFECT IT...and run with it.
Somehow, I don't think this is quite what was meant by that...
Anyhow..Congratulations to President Obama....'LIE OF THE YEAR"...NO ONE has worked harder than he has on this Endeavor and is more deserving
