Okay, a video referring to praising ideas before the ideas in question have been created is not valid. To be consistent, you would also have to criticize President Reagan for promoting those people who provided a safe haven for Osama (Taliban).
Come now, going back to Reagan ? There must be something a Bush did to distract from the topic
The OP went back to 2006 so I thought this was a thread about the past.
Must have hit a nerve?
Obama is good but he cannot predict the future. Conflating 2006 statements of Obama with statements made by a man years later makes no sense at all. My post was merely demonstrating this.

I am actually praising Obama a bit. He is learning to temper his lies.
Obama went from lying about his own mother's death for political points and repeating the lie after caught in it - to knowing that there needs to be limits to his lies.
It had to be tempting to pull a Pelosi and pretend that he didn't know Gruber. But Obama knew that it would come out that it was BS, just like it did with Pelosi, and just like this video proved - so Obama just distanced himself from Gruber's lies.
Perhaps Obama is starting to feel some pressure to be honest for the first time in his presidency. He has to know that millions would be ready to excuse the lie if he were caught in lying about not knowing Gruber.
In trying to decide if leaving those words out is 1) to deceive or 2) merely not understanding their importance, I give the benefit of the doubt and go with (2).

You are a good woman, or man. You are welcome. Bipartisanship is breaking all over the real world. D.C. is not the real world.

Anyway, people know where I stand, and you are right, my comments are out of context in THIS thread.
So, GOP does not write bills because they know they can't create one honest enough to pass Yet somehow they were able to dupe the stupid American voters to allow them to expand Medicare by half a trillion dollars Interesting....
Please cite for me why Republicans should stoop to the level of Democrats and deceive the public so they can get bills to "pass"?
