More and more, it just seems that Obama’s the good looking guy who can read the teleprompter best:
After President Obama’s big speech on health care, I was among the first to note that I couldn’t see how he could possibly keep his promises. Now, according to the Associated Press, the White House has backed off Obama’s promises made just last Monday…
…Here is Mike Gonzalez at Heritage on Friday:
Less than 24 hours after Heritage Foundation President Ed Feulner questioned the veracity of President Obama’s persistent claim that, under his health care proposals, “if you like your insurance package you can keep it”, the White House has begun to walk the President’s claim back. Turns out he didn’t really mean it.
According to the Associated Press, “White House officials suggest the president’s rhetoric shouldn’t be taken literally: What Obama really means is that government isn’t about to barge in and force people to change insurance.” How’s that for change you can believe in?
I’m sorry, but it seems to me that “White House officials suggest the president’s rhetoric shouldn’t be taken literally” means, “look, we just have Obama to say things really well to gull the fools, but we’re going to do whatever the heck we want, instead”. Quite honestly, I don’t know how we can rely on any Presidential statement – we’ll never know if it was given to Obama as window dressing or if its the real policy he’s being told to advance. Who did we elect President?
