What is a false or misleading statement made to deceive the people of the United States?

From Art. I of the Articles of Impeachment against Nixon:

"making or causing to be made false or misleading public statements for the purpose of deceiving the people of the United States into believing that a thorough and complete investigation had been conducted with respect to allegations of misconduct on the part of personnel of the executive branch of the United States and personnel of the Committee for the Re-election of the President, and that there was no involvement of such personnel in such misconduct."

From our current president, "If you like your policy you can keep it." As shown in this link Dear Leader said this and similar things more than once. Why did he say this? Was he trying to mislead the people of the United States?
Are these false or misleading public statements for the purpose of deceiving the people of the United States?

So, Dear Leader made false public statements that were misleading the people of the United States into believing ObamaCare didn't do the very thing it does: cost a lot of folks insurance that they seemed to be happy with. Or at least as happy as one can be with health insurance.
