This is the guy who is trying to transform the health care insurance industry, and he doesn’t even understand simple liability insurance (H/T Ed Morrissey):

Mr. President, they laughed at you because you were supposed to call the insurance of the person who hit you! If you buy liability insurance, it doesn’t cover you, it covers the other person if you cause an accident. If you didn’t cause the accident, which is almost 100% of the time in cases of being rear-ended, then it wasn’t your fault. However, if it was your fault, for whatever reason, then you would need collision insurance to fix your car.

Sheesh. How did this guy get elected?

    How did he get elected?

    Get real.

    We didn't like the RINO the RNC put up, so we stayed home.

    What a moron. Notice how he had to remember where he was supposed to be at that point in his life, he has to hold his lies together.
    He got elected because he was black. Period.

    He was elected because he lied the right lie to certain people, like any good “politician” does. There are alot people I know who voted for him because of race if you know what I mean, and they are ,uh, what's the word…dissatisfied is a nice way to put it.

    has anyone else noticed the dems, including the golden child, had reams of anecdotal stories to support their position? all the repubs had were meaningless facts.

  • amywilson

    This was President Clinton's great strategy to have personal stories that touched people's emotions. HOWEVER, he always had those people planted in the audience. Here, we just hear about 10 letters a night the president reads and absurd examples that have no value or relevancy to the problems with this bill. DISTRACTION? I think so.

    That was sarcasm. I know how get got elected.

  • ecosse

    Funny how 10 letters is Barry's basis in policy but he chooses to disregard the poll numbers. Gee, ya think maybe those letters he has picked for him are biased? Naw!!!

  • Tyler

    His attitude towards the whole thing and the way he dodge EVERY question thrown at him with ACTUAL RELEVANCE was just PROOF that he flatout DIDN'T CARE. It wasn't his intention to BACK UP his policy. He just WANTS IT DONE.

    Here is why you need insurance:

    Lack of carrying proper insurance is common due to the costs of monthly premiums. However, our society has become a 2 class system of have and have-nots with regards to insurance. For those who cannot afford the monthly premium, they rely on the government and others to assist them when they need help. They do without certain privileges and run the risk of causing greater harm to themselves and their loved ones by deferring proper care and medication.

    Have any of you actually been in an accident? You do, in fact, call your own insurance company if you've been in an accident. Even if it's clearly not your fault. Your own insurance company covers the cost of repairs… the cost of a rental car for when yours is in the shop… or anything like that. And after who's at fault is determined, you are reimbursed by the other guy's insurance company.

    Obama has said a lot more dumb things than that guys. Try looking a bit harder.

    I made nearly the same comment when I was listening to a recent primetime speech. He made reference to the Navy Hospital CORPSEmen.

    What a tool!!
