One of the word bubbles at the bottom of the screen points out that Obama believes that two thirds of the cost of his health care proposal can be obtained by reducing waste and costs in our current scenario. Mr. President, I am all for eliminating waste and excess cost. Go right ahead and show us that you can really do that and I think you have really solved the problem without spending a dime.
At the 4:58 mark, he nearly says that basically the guy asked a specific question and he only deals with the "broad philosophical questions". He drops that one sentence in there, all by itself and it makes no sense. It isn't what Mr. Obama says, it is how he says it. Because if you really listen to what he says here, he doesn't say anything. George Bush was derided for using the phrase, "It's hard work." over and over. One of Obama's favorite phrases seems to be "It's a legitimate debate to have". followed by not debating the point at hand.
