Hume: "Maybe the president knew this. Maybe he didn’t. Maybe he simply didn’t care.”

.....“But what about President Obama’s explicit promise that if you like your insurance you can keep it?” [Hume] continued. “He later amended that to the government is not going to make you change plans. But that’s not true either because the government has made many lower cost plans illegal. Emanuel and others argue such plans were a rip-off and people should have better ones. But better in whose opinion? Why the government’s of course. And never mind the president’s repeated promise it would never come to this. A promise the very design of Obamacare made impossible to keep. Maybe the president knew this. Maybe he didn’t. Maybe he simply didn’t care.”

“Special Report” anchor Bret Baier asked Hume if it were a possibility Obama may very well have been out of the loop. Hume said that was possible but it would mean a president praised as a person who pays attention to detail was extremely disengaged.

“It’s conceivable to me he could be out of the loop on any one of them,” Hume replied. “But it’s hard to believe he wouldn’t have known about any of them — any of these ones they said he didn’t know about. You know, we’ve been given to believe this is a very bright, very curious man who cares about policy details, grasps without difficulty and asks very good questions. The picture that emerges from the array of things he was not in the loop on was a more disengaged president who is leaving it all to others, in which case it’s imperative you pick good others. It’s questionable whether he has.”

Listening to these pundits babble is like watching a football game. The ref makes a horrendous call and the replay shows how really stupid the call was. The booth guys say things like “maybe we missed something” or “these guys have such a tough job” or my personal favorite, “good call.”

How about “he must be getting a nice check tonight.”
