Related: About this forumObama tells Fox News: ‘Republicans have their own TV station’
"There's no doubt that I feel frustrated about it," the president said. "Number one, we're still shell shocked from what happened in 2007-2008... People lost homes, lost jobs, lost life savings and they still don't fully know how that happened and was the system fixed in a way they can have confidence in.""
Wallace wondered why Obama had not "fixed that in eight years."
"The perception is going to be changing over time as people see results," Obama replied. "But -- and this is the big but -- nobody is going to be 100 percent satisfied in a democracy like ours with every outcome."
"And I think the danger both among Republicans and among Democrats who just listen to each other or they just listen to people that already agree with them -- you know, Republicans have their own TV station," he noted.
"Go ahead," Wallace interrupted. "You can say Fox News."
"They've got their own publications, their own blogs," the president continued. "Democrats, same thing. Increasingly what happens is, we don't hear each other. And so what happens then is when Republicans promise to repeal Obamacare and it doesn't get repealed, they're outraged.

Yeah that's sound my heart made when I realized our esteemed "progressive" president had sold out to the health insurance leeches. The line about folks wanting to keep what they had - that's rich. No - that was FOR the Rich. Fear not, insurance folks.... your money stream will not be impeded after the Coronation. Maybe you can come up with a spare $225K so they can give you an official "thanks".
