>> Hope this doesn't ruin our new-found truce :)

Why would it? I had a lot of time for Obama. Still do. I have a lot of time for Trump as well. So far.

>>One (that I've mentioned many times) is Obama's admission, during an documented discussion with Eric Cantor back in 2010 on C-SPAN, that somewhere between five and nine million people would lose their plans. He defended it with a statement that most would get "better plans".

To me, it's as if you signed up for a contract to provide service for a year with Obama promising his legislation will not take this from you. At the end of your contract, the employer says thanks, we're done here. Some people then call Obama a liar because the contract wasn't extended in perpetuity.

During the ACA grandfather period that was extended twice: it was insurer decision not to renew policies as they expired, and physician/insurer decision to end participation. The ACA did set minimum coverage- but since most of the worst plans were annual contracts with no roll-over provision, technically all of the pre-ACA policies were completed in full before the insurer decided not to renew, blaming Obamacare in some cases. Call it sophistry if you like- but Obama didn't really need to apologize because literally, his position is arguable if the grandfather period was long enough that hardly any grandfathered policies remained. You could argue that he must have known that lay interpretation would not match this technical argument- but this isn't about Trump so it's not proper to assign the worst possible motive to a POTUS.

>>The second is the report in the Wall Street Journal back in late 2013 - with sources from 2 White House senior advisors - that Obama's policy advisors and his campaign advisors had been in hot conflict for years over his "if you like your doctor" promise. His policy advisors recommended he back off that talk, while his campaign advisors recommended he continue with the narrative.

Some of Obama's advisors did not agree? Glad to hear it- not a complete echo chamber, then. I'd hope the same is true of Trump's advisors. But attributed to unnamed sources? Today we're seeing how partisan unelected apparatchiks can influence foreign and local policy by selective disclosure. I call this political smearing of both Trump and Obama until proven otherwise.
