Here is video from President Obama's Town Hall Meeting today in Grand Junction, Colorado where a College Student challenged Obama to a direct "Oxford Style" Debate, along with asking him a question.
The student asked Obama "how in the world a private corporation" such as an Insurance Company compete with an entity like the Federal Government who does not have to pay property taxes and is not subject to regulation?
Good question - so good in fact that Obama went on one of his patented rambling answer / non-answers that said lots of words but never really dealt directly with the question. He essentially said he would see to it that unlimited taxpayer money would not be poured into a Government Health Plan making the competition unfair.
We are all reassured with that answer, aren't we? Government won't have access to unlimited taxpayer money?
Later, Obama praised the young man for having the courage to challenge "the President" to a debate - referring to himself in the third person. . . . . (Watch Video)

Bammy is too stupid.

When Bambi and Rangel reestablish the draft, that kid will be the first to go
About once a month Obama has to remind every one that he is “the President”,
“[0bama] essentially said he would see to it that unlimited ‘taxpayer money would not be poured into a Government Health Plan making the competition unfair.’”
Oh, PUH-leeeeze!
This piker has blown three TRILLION of our dollars in seven short months!
Wow. This young man smoked the President here.
We should start asking Obambi what “President Rahm” thinks about all this, since it’s obvious that the man-child Obambi can’t function without his teleprompter or memorized platitudes.

Yesterday in Montana he said we lost 700 jobs last month.He’s real nervous.
EXACTLY! What a condescending, patronizing @sshole!!!

The whole ‘rolled up sleeves’ image is just too much to stomach. Really. *rolls eyes*
Everything....and I mean EVERYTHING is CONTRIVED by this administration. Nothin’ but horse manure.
Wouldn’t that be President Soros? ;-)
After listening to this the President made this young man’s point for him, in a rambling, round about way.
These are not the reasons that private companies cannot compete. The government gets to charge EVERYONE for their services, whether they wish to buy them or not...
“We already have a private option such as the non-profit Blue Cross/Blue Shield.”??? It is embarassing to have such a stupid President.

I have to admit that considering the question he was asked, he did a lot better than normal.
He gave a very long winded answer of “The public entity will remain small by design”
Of course it was a lie, and completely contrary to what the actual bill so blatantly makes clear, but from a purely analytical viewpoint of his performance, I would have to say that Obama must be getting tired of getting caught off guard and looking stupid, as well as the accusation of stacking his audience. (catch the “I just want to prove” comment that he cut himself short on?)
I got the impression that Obambi actually did some rehearsing for REAL questions.
Now maybe he should actually read the bill before someone actually quotes it and asks him to parse it against his own claims.
