Teleprompter Blues – Hussein Obama: it’s the post office that’s always having problems

Obama finally tells the truth! The post office is always having problems! Oh, and guess who runs and controls the postoffice? THE GOVERNMENT! From American Spectator:

[A]t another point of today’s town hall meeting, Obama was pushing back against the idea that the creation of a new government-run plan would drive private insurers out of business, and he said that UPS and FedEx were doing fine, but “it’s the post office that’s always having problems.” Oops!

The gaffe arose from the inherent contradiction of those arguing for the introduction of a government government-run plan. On the one hand, Obama and other supporters of the idea argue that we need to have a strong government plan to create more efficiency, drive down prices, and “keep private insurers honest.” Yet at the same time, they have to make it appear weaker to push back against those of us who argue that it will threaten private insurance and move us toward a single-payer system. So then you get statements in which Obama, in the course of arguing for a government-run system, takes a shot at the government-run post office.

Obama was also caught in a flat out lie regarding the AARP today, although who can really trust the AARP anyway? Obama claimed the AARP has “endorsed” ObamCARE, the AARP responded with “Uh, no we never said we endorse ObamaCARE.”

And last, but certainly not least, ObamaCARE might save you from your foot being cut off!
