The only surprising thing is he admitted it:
With the public’s trust in his handling of health care tanking (50%-44% of Americans disapprove), the White House has launched a new phase of its strategy designed to pass Obamacare: all Obama, all the time. As part of that effort, Obama hosted a conference call with leftist bloggers urging them to pressure Congress to pass his health plan as soon as possible.
During the call, a blogger from Maine said he kept running into an Investors Business Daily article that claimed Section 102 of the House health legislation would outlaw private insurance. He asked: “Is this true? Will people be able to keep their insurance and will insurers be able to write new policies even though H.R. 3200 is passed?” President Obama replied: “You know, I have to say that I am not familiar with the provision you are talking about.”
We have to rush, rush RUSH this through because it will cure all our health care ills and Obama and Co are putting out ads and other pressure assuring us of what it will do…except that Obama doesn’t know what it will do, because he doesn’t know what is in the bill. Of course, this is natural – the point of the program isn’t to do anything for health care, but to do something for the increase of government power over our lives.
You see, the whole thing about Obama and his Democrats is that they are certain that once they’ve got full control, they can sculpt our society in to what they believe is just. It doesn’t matter if people are poor, have substandard health care of what have you – as long as it is all “equal” and “fair” as liberals view it.
Its not worth it, to a liberal, that there be a fantastic health care system for some and a so-so system for others…better to have a lousy system, as long as all can access it (at least in theory). And don’t think that self-interest will thwart them – they, the elite, will not be part of the system. They’ll have special privileges which allow them to live a very nice life, all justified by the concept that as the people who know best, they have a right to special privileges to make the burden of taking care of us endurable. Keep in mind that in the old USSR, the elite had special currency good only at stores and resorts the elite could access – don’t think that Obama and his liberals won’t devise a two-tier system like that for the United States…if they feel it helps them make us more “fair”, they’ll do it.
President Obama let the cat out of the bag a little bit here – he’s not supposed to admit to anything less than omniscience. The proper answer for Obama would be “a careful reading of that provision shows that it isn’t like that at all, blah blah blah”. Count this as a proof that Truth does rule the world – and it will come out, even if its out of the mouths of the dishonest, from time to time.
