Today's "outrage": Baucus writes an "excise tax" into his bill.... [View All]

[Barack_America]

...and the media blames Obama?

Why are they attributing Baucus's bill to the Obama administration? It would seem Gibb's statement that, "K street got it before us", pretty much sums up the administration's feelings about it.

Have they not also noticed the plan Obama keeps outlining in his speeches sounds markedly different from the Baucus plan?

President Obama says, "no tax that will affect the middle class". The Baucus bill contains such a tax.

President Obama continues to reaffirm his support for a public option. The Baucus bill does not contain one.

So Obama is either a meanie double-fake out liar -OR- He's just not that into the Baucus bill.

Hmmm.

Let's use our processes of deduction to figure out which one is more likely.

Should be pretty easy, unless you have the intelligence of the average "journalist" in this country, apparently.
