"We shouldn't pretend that these folks dont need help"

You should be with us in 2012, join now: http://my.barackobama.com/folksvid

President Obama responds to Republican Senator John Barrasso's argument that high-deductible plans and health savings accounts would be enough, explaining that neither are as effective for families below the highest income levels: "The vast majority of these 30 million people we're talking about, they work every day. Some of them work two jobs. But if they're working for a small business, they can't get health care. If they are self-employed, they don't get health care. It is a scary proposition for them. We can debate whether or not we can afford to help them, but we shouldn't pretend somehow that they don't need help. I get too many letters saying they need help."

For at least the past two years, it has become evident that federal public officials from the President of the United States and members of Congress have been ignoring the will of the people . . . the Citizens in United States . . . the very people that pay their salaries and are their employers. They have been doing so with a great deal of arrogance, with the thinking of that they are better than us and that they know more than us . . . basically an elitist mentality.

@0meat in other clips you see people trying to interupt Obama as well. nice try

[pantalaemon]

also, interesting that people bitch on obama for interrupting people, not for factually not making a solid case. he interrupts people, because he tries to stop them from making rationally defunct points, and i doubt that's wrong in any way.

@geofiles as opposed to what? the bush oligarchy, with the country quietly going down the shitter? obama is trying to get it out, and you can imagine that that's not an easy task, now is it. i'd like come concrete examples of this, man. also, every step obama has ever taken, he's rationally defended and justified to the people, so i don't think you have a right to criticize his decision-making.
