The best laid plans with ABC’s best-laid to jumpstart the debate about health care reform it still came across as an “infomercial,” as many have complained. This so called “Prescription for America”, Obama spent over 60% of the time as his questioners, vaguely answering or not addressing the questions asked of him at all. Why didn’t ABC just donate time to Obama an hour of presenting his personal views? Were they afraid that his teleprompter would lose power or that he would just blow it? Did it come across that Obama was just there to promote his plan and not to actually address any concerns that the public may have? ABC (government owned network) consistently presented the event as part of the need to fix a “broken system.”
When asked, every one of the 164 hand-picked audience members all stated that a there was a definite need for health care reform. There was one question that Obama definitely danced around and never did answer. He could not or would not give a direct answer when asked would he use this health care fix-it program for himself and his family. So the only conclusion that can be drawn from his refusal to answer the question must be the old adage ‘do as I say, not do as I do’. So I guess in this case ‘what is good for the gander is not good for the goose’.
erman who on more than one occasion attempts to find humor in vicious attacks and lies on others. No so called joke at the cost of children is ever considered a joke and certainly is not funny on any level. Anyone that attended or watched that episode of the Letterman show should be appalled by his despicable attempt at humor. Actually if you didn’t leave the set or turn of the TV at that point you are as despicable as Letterman.
