Schumer promises public option; lies about Obama support

New York Sen. Charles Schumer promised Sunday that healthcare reform would contain a public option, then lied about President Obama’s support for that.

“Make no mistake about it, the president is for this strongly. There will be a public option in the final bill,” Schumer said on CBS News’s "”Face the Nation.”

This would be the same Obama who threatened to use political muscle against groups like MoveOn for running advocacy ads against Democrats who opposed a public option.
