- President Obama gives a good speech. He's smooth, unruffled
by audience response, good at a timely ad-lib remark, and knows how to
win over a tough crowd--all skills that were in evidence at last night's
State of the Union address. But he's also good at telling whoppers.
-
- Here are a few.
-
- Talking about health care, and the stalled bills in House
and Senate which have become so encrusted with pro-industry amendments
that the whole process should be referred to as the Health Industry Enrichment
Act, Obama said at one point, addressing the doubts many in Congress and
among the broader public have about those bills, "If anyone from either
party has a better approach that will bring down premiums, bring down the
deficit, cover the uninsured, strengthen Medicare for seniors and stop
insurance company abuses, let me know. Let me know. Let me know. I'm eager
to see it."
-
- Hm-m-m. Actually, he has not been eager to see other
ideas at all....
