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.

The answer is obvious: teleprompter. He had to have “something”, in the first place, to “lose it”.

That’s very true. Have you seen anyone call him out on that?

In the mind of someone that believes taxation is a means of redistributing wealth and opposition to paying more is un-American how can one ever be overtaxed? Is Doris some kind of right-wing, homophobic, racist, Nazi hatemonger

All those words and he could have simplified it by simply saying:

That's definitely NOT true. You haven't begun to be taxed yet - wait'll Cap and Trade and the new fees for Healthcare kick in - youre gonna wish you were taxed this little in the days ahead!!!!!!!!!

I don’t see any mention in there of his confusion of liability and collision coverage (assuming that’s what you were pointing me to for someone having called him out on that issue) at the health care summit with Republicans.

“I’m overtaxed, I can’t pay my bills”.

Obama response - “Let me explain how you are misinformed”

Is this an obnoxious elitist or what?

“Methinks though doth protest too much.”

Obviously, the person who he was speaking to was very simple-minded, and he gave as simple an answer as possible to a layperson....I call bu-shee...

“That’s the kind of answer you give when you don’t have a clue what you are talking about.”

Sounds more like a dictator that love to hear his own voice. Similar to Chavez and Hussein.
