When he speaks from his ever-present TelePrompter or appears on the stage of a town hall in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, a grinning President Barack Obama dismisses health care protesters as cranks.
Hearing a question from a worried woman called Mary at an AARP-sponsored health care “tele-town hall: “I have been told that under a new health care plan, Medicare recipients would be visited and told to decide how they wish to die,” Obama piled on reassurance with slick and charm.
With a grin, Obama’s response to `Mary’ was: “I guarantee you, first of all we just don’t have enough government workers to talk to everybody to find out how they want to die.”
