Today in New Hampshire, President Obama answered a sweet little grade schooler's question about what kids should have to fear about the future cost of Health care by reciting excerpts from Beowulf in it's original Old English form. Or so it seemed. The President was, let's just say, extremely eloquent and informative in his laying out the health care issue as he sees it. A bit hard to follow as usual because of his penchant for thorough answers.Yet he not only dispelled crazy notions and rumours that have been floating around, he was firm in conveying that like it or not, a bill of some sort ,needs to be passed and will get done. OK, there was no Democrat planted malcontent there to allow Obama a "teaching moment" for the naysayers like we hoped. We like WWF style entertainment. We're THOSE guys. . There were instead, a few softball questions at the end from citizens who take issue with the notion of Obamacare, for a variety of reasons. Here is a text of the whole event. Got a few days to kill? If you want to read this transcript, you'll need it but hey, cut Barry some slack. He was TRYING to summarize this time. read text
