President Obama says his position on including a government-run option for health care reform has not changed, despite the outcry from liberals over his comments last weekend that he would consider an alternative.
"I see nothing wrong with having public option as one choice," he said, adding that it would offer affordable choices but that no one should be "obligated to go into a public plan."
"We said that's a good idea, but we haven't said that's the only one," he said.
So does Obama even know what is going on? I say not. I just wish he could explain what he is trying to do. Instead we keep getting snake oil pushed on us with no substance. You can only say, "we need it real bad. You will die, the country will go broke if we dont get it", for so long.
I watched Obama's last town hall. He spoke for over an hour and said nothing but what I mentioned above. Also, he only took 8 questions, which he rambled on with the very same thing I mentioned above.
I guess Barry got Americans awake with his strong arm tacticts that got the spendulus package passed.

Driving today I heard him give credit to the USPS for UPS and Fedex doing so well or being so competitive. I don't know the exact quote or even the context but I about wrecked when I heard it. I know he's not really that stupid. Does he just have stupid advisors or what????

I have heard that quote. Can't say it verbatim but the jist was that UPS and Fedex is fine with a government program in place (USPS). What is so funny/scary about this, Obama shows how stupid he is. He states in the same sentence that the USPS is going bank rupt while the FedEx and UPS are doing great. Guess Biden is not the only one who has athletes foot in the mouth. Obama simply provided proof why a public option is crazy. The government cant run programs with out going bankrupt, but wants to save health care. Yea, right.

He talks out of both sides of his mouth ALL the time... Right now, he's talking about cutting defense spending, because we can't afford all that spending when we're in the middle of hard times. Of course, when he was trying to get the stimulus passed, he literally laughed at Republican suggestions that the stimulus bill was about spending, not stimulus. His comment was along the lines of "what do you think spending is? Spending IS stimulus." So, what is it? Cut spending because the economy is in bad shape? Or increase spending in order to stimulate the economy? I guess it depends on which side of the aisle is asking for the money...

I just posted a thread that goes with what you are saying. Obama is giving 2 billion dollars of our tax dollars to the Brazilian national oil company.
