Linda Douglas has posted video where she tried to convince the public that her boss, Barack Obama, does not want to eliminate private health insurance, video [1]. Tje problem for Douglas is that Obama was for Single Payer before hie was against it, from Mike Allen, Politicio [2]:
The video the White House seeks to rebut, labeled “SHOCK UNCOVERED,” was linked by Andrew Breitbart on his video site, Breitbart.tv, after a site called Naked Emperor News brought it to his attention.
The clip is labeled, “SEIU Health Care Forum 3/24/07,” and shows Obama saying: “I don’t think we’re going to be able to eliminate employer coverage immediately. There’s going to be, potentially, some transition process: I can envision a decade out, or 15 years out, or 20 years out.”
And the video:

So who do you believe, what Obama’s paid mouth piece Douglas says or what Obama himself as said?
Michelle [4] calls it desperation:
Take a whiff of the White House bashing of Internet opponents: This is the smell of desperation.
Their lead attack dog? Former ABC News correspondent Linda Douglass.
Desperation Hell. Call it what it is – Panic.
Note to Douglas, statements of Barack Obama do not constitute facts. Hint, there are not fifty-seven states. Thought that you would like to know.
Addendum:
