"Code Pink" Leader Compliments ObamaCare Opponents; Slams Obama Health Care Path as "Stupid" - Video

Here is video of "Code Pink" leader Medea Benjamin admitting anti-ObamaCare protesters have "been effective in making this a real national debate," but she criticized what they have said because she supports a total Government take over of Health Care ("Single-Payer system").

Benjamin also slammed Obama's approach to Health Care as "stupid," saying he should be going for the "Single-Payer" system instead of a "public option," although he could settle for that if he can't get total Government-run Health Care.

This video shows a few things. One, it it sad to compare the average citizens who have turned out to make their voices heard on ObamaCare to the radical leftists who comprise "Code Pink." The media's asking of that question shows an utter misunderstanding of what is going on.

Benjamin is right that citizens who have spoken out have succeeded in making this a true national debate, even though the Democrats never wanted one, planning instead to ram their radical Health Care bill through in two weeks time before the end of July!

The other thing the video shows is that the Left is really angry with Obama for not pressing more strongly for the total take over of Health Care. But the fact they consider the "Public Option" acceptable if that can't be attained, shows they know it will be a foot in the door that will lead to their eventual goal. . . . (Watch Video)
