Fox News Exclusive: President Obama (video)

[xocet]

Here is a link to the video of the FOX NEWS interview with President Obama : cue to the 11:57 mark. Normally, I would not post anything from FOX NEWS, but I wanted to see and hear President Obama explicitly throw liberal ideas under the bus.

Here is the relevant excerpt from the transcript starting at the 11:57 mark:

"OBAMA: And as I said before, this — the final provisions are going to be posted for many days before this thing passes, but —

BAIER: Let me get to some of the specifics on substance not process.

OBAMA: The only thing —

(CROSSTALK)

BAIER: (INAUDIBLE)

OBAMA: — the only thing I want to say, just to close up, is that when you talk about one-sixth of the economy, this is one-sixth of the economy that right now is a huge drag on the economy. Now, we can fix this in a way that is sensible, that is centrist. I have rejected a whole bunch of provisions that the left wanted that are — you know, they were very adamant about because I thought it would be too disruptive to the system. But what we can't do is perpetuate a system in which millions of people day in and day out are having an enormously tough time and small businesses are sending me letters constantly saying that they are seeing their premiums increase 40, 50 percent.

BAIER: Mr. President, you said Monday that you praised the Congressional Budget Office numerous times. You also said this, this proposal makes Medicare stronger — and you just said it to me here —

OBAMA: Right."



So, that is what the differential of a bus looks like....and this is not even remotely humorous.
