well after all of what i'm calling up a pretty big embarrassment for brock obama
has taken place with this health care bill barack obama is still saying he's
getting ninety five percent of what he wants
in health care in this health care reform bill i don't know how
i don't know ninety five percent i mean in how do i wasn't point nine five
percent that that's what i am dot it sounds well he's getting one percent but
he he's insisting that he is getting ninety five percent and here he is
talking to you
jim lehrer news hour with jim lehrer on p_b_s_ and he says
this this is a good bill now we have had to everything
let's take a listen so you are
completely satisfied with the health reform bill that the senate's about past
not are never completely satisfied of but
i am very satisfied e look
when i agree that speech in the joint session of congress
uh... i set up some criteria for what in my mind would qualify as reform
based on the conversations that i had with families all across the country in
the letters that i was receiving
about people really gone through a tough time in health care system
i said
we want to make sure the people who didn't have health insurance
could get health insurance and this bill covers thirty million people who don't
have a
i said that for people who have health insurance we've got a and insurance
company abuses where
they've ban you from getting health insurance because of pre-existing
conditions so they've got fine print
print that this is a lifetime limits on what you can spend so if you really get
sick suddenly may lose your health okay so he's just going on and on talking
about the things that are in this bill
if you have to say this right he can't say this bill includes almost nothing of
what i want it
but it seems hard to believe that he's really too happy with the still i mean
this is not don't consider this to be a good bill
this bill is embarrassment compared to what the original goal was
which he started wrong saying was a public option and now he negotiated
back down to nothing essential
reducing just from over
p_r_ and uh...
you know operating standpoint he has to say this of course and there's no quick
end of this reform bill
this health care bill
it shouldn't call everyone wanted to say it's good but it's it's not good enough
well essentially ceded say i'm never completely satisfied
now that's kind of but later on in this is like it's a ten minute interview be
won't get to it he did say i'm getting ninety five percent of what i want
and i'd just can't imagine
if the public option
room if i was only five percent
there must be some great things in that bill and i just don't see them yes it
seems like the pre-existing conditions is big and that it's going to is going
to help people are not saying that i'm saying for the amount of hours
and dollars
and and
manpower
that it has taken to get to where we are now
it just doesn't seem like enough
it doesn't seem even anywhere close to an f and brock obama i think started
negotiating
from very moderate place which is that with the this public option and will
negotiate it back down to nothing verses either
i believe
single-payer is the way to go or i believe that expanding medicare and
medicaid is a test case is the way to go and then if that goes well we can see by
extending it to everybody
or suppose in his mind for public option could have been five percent
if he thought there was actually really no chance of one happening yeah i just
don't believe it invested fifty he he's a smarter politician than that
and he's playing politics here he's doing it well by saying he's happy about
this in his approval rating will go up
no matter what's in this bill when it says
democrats passed
before health care reform retort from our street most report not even you know
there was a lot of these i was in the bill that's right
what the same man who called senator john breaux rosso this week on c_-span
claiming he was a t bagger and by the way that should have been the number one
signal that it was a prank call the tea bags don't call themselves devalue if
that's one of the main main points it seems it's the same guy
who n actually prank david brooks on c_-span as well as bill kristol missus
funny you got the listen what he's saying here
is that he's a t bagger
and he was praying for senator robert byrd two died before the health care
bill and then it backfired minutes ten instead something happened to republican
senator james inhofe and at that senator byrd rosso doesn't even notice that that
that is this is a prank it goes completely over his head and this is
pretty funny
