No matter how they try to "walk back" Obama's words, they just end up stepping in it.

The Healthers need to give up the myth that there is a conspiracy to make Obama’s healthcare agenda look bad.

It matters not what anyone says... hussama was caught telling what his health debacle is really going to do and since he is a proved LIAR over and over and over... it matters not what they spin... he lied and there is video evidence to prove his lies... and in a manner that cannot be disputed without outright lying to the American people... which is proved that this Whitehouse does on a daily and sometimes hourly basis.

OMG, that was awful. How dumb does Linda Douglass think we are? If she wants to have a prayer, she has to do a lot more than show us clips of the One saying something different. She has to make a compelling case that when he said he favors single payer he did not mean it, or that he has completely changed his mind.

And she has to explain how private insurance can survive against a public option, which credible think tanks say is unlikely.

She’s making used car salesmen look good. And it doesnt seem like she has a clue that she’s doing so.

Hillary used the 2003 video clip while campaigning in January, 2008.

http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2008/01/23/clinton_obama_intensify_feud_on_trail/

Clinton’s campaign continued attacking Obama over various aspects of his record, from his numerous “present” votes in the Illinois Senate - including one on a bill to boost privacy protections for victims of sexual assault - to his past remarks about a single-payer healthcare system. Her campaign produced an Internet video showing Obama in 2003 calling himself a “proponent” of a single-payer system, though Obama counters that he has said he favors that approach only if the country were building a healthcare system from scratch.

I watched this video this morning.

She doesn’t actually say anything.

She just says “that’s not true” but provides nothing to debunk it.

I’ve seen them both. Ms Douglas’ smarmy, disingenuous effort didn’t work.

Linda Douglas, what a pitiful caricature of a one time reporter.

I am amazed at how programmable she is, she spouts party line and actually seems proud of it......lemming.

Their tactics illustrate how arrogant the DC scum are and illustrates how stupid they think the American are!

A good project for a reporter would be to go back to the archives and see what was said.

Oh wait. that would require "real" reporting instead of the warmed over press releases we get now.

Wake up over there at Fox. Here's a story I want to see on the news tonight.

This video is sooo bad, no one, not even the mushbrained media syncophants will bother to watch it in its entirety.

And notice not a mention of Barney Frank or Jan Shackowsky’s
endorsement of single payer? Guess they will have to get their own boring videos made.

No matter how much the Obama machine tries to put lipstick on that pig, they can't get aroung the fact that he laid out a plan to have total Government takeover of the health Care System.

I am willing to accept things can be taken out of context. If there was actual evidence this was just a hypothetical question being answered (say, “What could be done to go down the path of single-payer” etc), I would agree with their response.

But, there is NO EVIDENCE of that being provided by Douglass, which is flat scary.

All she says is don’t believe it, here’s some new quotes.

I don’t buy that for a second....

Silly you, FOX does not do investigative stories, it would take time away from them putting useless stories on air.
