More lies.

SEOUL — President Barack Obama hasn’t spent much time tracking the oral arguments before the Supreme Court on his health care law while here for a nuclear summit, the White House said Tuesday.

“He has been focused on his responsibilities here,” press secretary Jay Carney said during an afternoon briefing just hours before Air Force One takes off to return to the United States. “So he has not had a great deal of opportunity to review the reports of what’s happening in Washington at the Supreme Court.”

Even so, the president is “aware of the progress that’s being made and he’ll be following it with interest.”

Our position’s clear, his position’s clear: We feel very confident that the individual responsibility provision within the Affordable Care Act is constitutional,” Carney said. “We’ve remarked before that its provenance is in the conservative political arena — the Heritage Foundation, supported by a number of Republicans before it became a bipartisan idea.”
