From Right Wing News:

This one sentence tells you all you need to know about Obama.

Speaking to Katie Couric on Feb. 7, Obama said:

“I would have loved nothing better than to simply come up with some very elegant, academically approved approach to health care, and didn’t have any kinds of legislative fingerprints on it, and just go ahead and have that passed. But that’s not how it works in our democracy. Unfortunately, what we end up having to do is to do a lot of negotiations with a lot of different people.”

Unfortunately???? Damn Democracy! Obama sees it as “unfortunate” that in a Democracy we have to do “a lot of negotiation with a lot of different people”, ie: Congress.

How much EASIER would it be if we didn’t have those pesky branches of government. If only King, oh excuse me, I mean Pres. Obama could just give (force on us) us an “elegant (whatever that means), academically approved” health care legislation.

Good grief.
