Petulant Child

Transcript: President Obama's Montana Health Care Town Hall Meeting - Kaiser Health News: "When the previous administration passed the prescription drug bill, that was something that a lot of seniors needed, right? They needed prescription drug help. The price tag on that was hundreds of billions of dollars. You know how we paid for it? We didn't. It just got added on to the deficit and the debt."

This response blew me away. It ranks right up there with the comment about how we shouldn't be afraid of a public option since we all know how inefficient the Postal Service is. In this one, the President is bringing up a fact that certainly argues against his health care expansion plans - we have yet to pay to pay for the last big government expansion in health care - yet he brought it up any way. WHY? He's like a petulant child who's being prohibited from doing something his older sibling got away with - "Georgie got to expand health care without paying for it, so I should be able to also, IT'S NOT FAIR!!!"

Axelrod better get the President back on teleprompter.
