BHO slips up during televised town-hall meeting

BHO should have stuck to reading his teleprompter ...

In his town-hall style meeting, in which incredibly no one opposed to the president made it into the place, BHO used popular carriers UPS and FedEx vs the USPS to describe how his socialist healthcare system would work with private healthcare ... but I think the White House will be clarifying his comment ...

Drum roll...

Quote:
He also disputed the notion that adding a government-run insurance plan into a menu of options from which people could pick would drive private insurers out of business, in effect making the system single-payer by default.

As long as they have a good product and the government plan has to sustain itself through premiums and other non-tax revenue, private insurers should be able to compete with the government plan, Obama said.

"They do it all the time," he said. "UPS and FedEx are doing just fine. ... It's the Post Office that's always having problems."
One more time in case you missed it ...

Quote:
"They do it all the time," he said. "UPS and FedEx are doing just fine. ... It's the Post Office that's always having problems."
And gov't-run healthcare would be better than gov't-run postal system ... how?

BHO just let slip one of the best reasons why his socialized healthcare should never be passed. Wish I could've seen his face after he said that.

He NEVER needs to say a word unless he's reading what someone has prepared for him!

It's a gift-wrapped commercial for the RNC. Nothing else needs to be done ...

Black blackground ... picture of BHO giving the speech ...

Audio of his quote: "UPS and FedEx are doing just fine. ... It's the Post Office that's always having problems."

Repeat end of sentence: "...it's the Post Office that's always having problems."

End with some tag about "...if the gov't has problems running the Post Office, how can we trust it with our healthcare..."

Suhweet!

That's a good one - but i do not think it was a slip. - see the preceeding statement.

This statement?

He still makes a mistake by stating there are problems with the USPS vs private carriers who are doing "just fine."

Key point being "problems with" anything run by the gov't.

I thought the government bowed out of running the USPS.

I still say that he and all of the 'people', and I use the term loosly, in the capital should be forced onto their health plan. If it is good enough to force down the American peoples throat then he should be willing to go on it with all of his buddies.
