Via the Daily Call:
"The last thing I will say though - let me say this about health care and the whole health care debate, because I think it also bears on a whole lot of other issues. If you look at the package that we've presented - and there's some stray cats and dogs that got in there that we were eliminating, we were in the process of eliminating. For example, we said from the start that it was going to be important for us to be consistent in saying to people if you can have your - if you want to keep the insurance you got, you can keep it, that you're not going to have anybody getting in between you and your doctor in your decision making. And I think that some of the provisions that got snuck in might have violated that pledge."
Wow, that's quite an admission. I'm sure glad those nasty, partisan, teabagging obstructionist Republicans were there to keep the President honest, or he might have done something he may have later regretted.
Or perhaps not.
H/T to Glenn Beck for bringing this story to my attention this morning.

God help America.
Great Quote?...
I take exception to saying that Bernanke, Obama, Reid and Pelosi are spending like drunken sailors. When I was a drunken sailor, I quit spending when I ran out of money."
Sen. John McCain
Why don't you include the rest of his sentence?
Here's the link to the video of the entire event

Why don't you include the rest of his sentence?
Which part - the "we were in the process of eliminating (the 'stray cats and dogs')" or "we were in the process of scrubbing this and making sure it was tight."
And by eliminating the 'cats and dogs' do you think he means the Louisiana Purchase, the Cornhusker Kickback or the sweetheart deal he made with the unions?
Do you honestly think there was any 'scrubbing' going on in those backroom negotiations prior to the Brown election?
"It was important to us to be consistent in saying to you..."
Well done, Barry.
While we are including the rest of sentences, perhaps we should harken back to some context-setters to help people understand why there is little credibility in the sentences he's uttered since:
"Look, I support universal health care...we just might not be able to get there right away."
or, more recently,
"I mean, why wouldn't anyone want FREE health care?"
You can add all the rest of sentences you want. The fact of the matter is that this guy and his guys and dolls in Congress have an agenda to completely displace the health care system we have and that most Americans want to keep. If he was serious about stopping a run away cost train, he'd attack the sources of the runaway costs: the transference of costs for those who abuse "free" health care to those of us who pay for it, the barriers to insurer competition, run-away malpractice awards, providing "free" health care to invaders, I'm sorry, "undocumented workers".
