Obama's 17-minute, 2,500-word response to woman's claim of being 'over-taxed'

"CHARLOTTE - Even by President Obama's loquacious standards, an answer he gave here on health care Friday was a doozy.

Toward the end of a question-and-answer session with workers at an advanced battery technology manufacturer, a woman named Doris stood to ask the president whether it was a "wise decision to add more taxes to us with the health care" package.

"We are over-taxed as it is," Doris said bluntly.

Obama started out feisty. "Well, let's talk about that, because this is an area where there's been just a whole lot of misinformation, and I'm going to have to work hard over the next several months to clean up a lot of the misapprehensions that people have," the president said.

He then spent the next 17 minutes and 12 seconds lulling the crowd into a daze. His discursive answer - more than 2,500 words long -- wandered from topic to topic, including commentary on the deficit, pay-as-you-go rules passed by Congress, Congressional Budget Office reports on Medicare waste, COBRA coverage, the Recovery Act and Federal Medical Assistance Percentages (he referred to this last item by its inside-the-Beltway name, "F-Map"). He talked about the notion of eliminating foreign aid (not worth it, he said). He invoked Warren Buffett, earmarks and the payroll tax that funds Medicare (referring to it, in fluent Washington lingo, as "FICA")."

Poor Doris. How dare she ask our Deal Leader such a question.
The MSM smear mongers are going to tear every aspect of this woman's life apart.

Yeah, I prefer politicians that just give short soundbite answers. Politicians actually answering people's questions in depth... FOR SHAME!

There's in depth and there's filibustering...

... situations like this drive me crazy. You can bet at least a part of the MSM- read: liberal- spin on this will be "how can somebody so far down the totem pole appreciate or understand such a complex issue especially when the messiah explains it?"

Happy Easter, boys, sorry to hear the world sucks back east. Here in the heartland it is a beautiful spring day in the greatest nation that ever was.

The only problem with that, jelly, is the more he talks:



It's obvious you're a dyed in the wool Obamabot, but thankfully more and more people are waking up from their drunk Obama stupor.

Sounds like someone at the plant should be fired for this, and not Doris. I thought it was illegal to give out any sort of performance indicators of a person's work history. Isn't that why we have HR's that won't tell other HR's a thing about prospective employees?

Is this another Joe the Plumber incident in which someone just happened to "leak" damaging information?
