>>I absolutely accused him of lying and mass deceptions during election years. Evidence is on my side. Even major U.S. newspapers have accused the president of the same lies

The context was the ACA. With the grandfather period extended again, Obama was right when he spoke in 2009 and 2010: if you had a roll over plan that you liked when Obama said his thing, the ACA allowed you to keep it to this day. Unless you or your insurer elected to exit the arrangement, of course. If your plan was one of those where the parties agreed a one-year period that did not roll over, the ACA did not prevent that agreement being fully satisfied either. People who say otherwise generally try to graft those 2009 comments onto a plan taken in 2012 (which has no grandfather provision and did not exist when Obama said his thing) or haven't researched what grandfathering means, or simply want to pile on. Ask yourself why you're not still hearing the accusation trumpeted to the skies and why TV and newspapers never were full of tearful victims whose plans were stripped from them by the ACA. The few who did appear were quickly discredited. In all fairness, the concept of grandfathering and considering the veracity of Obama's comments when they were made... it's not complicated. If Obama were standing again he could have an absolute field day with the poorly considered shrieking accusations that have dogged his presidency.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
