During his so-called “Question Time” with Congressional Democrats, failed President Barack Obama as much as admitted that there are some Democrats who don’t like a “financial system that is healthy and functioning.”
The strange admission came in response to a question by embattled Senator Blanche Lincoln, who asked (without laughing) when Obama was going to take on the left-wing of the party and push for bipartisanship with Republicans.
Obama is the left-wing of the party.
Obama said he would attempt to convince his party’s left wing to take a less ideological approach to economic challenges.
“We’ve got to make sure that our party understands that, like it or not, we have to have a financial system that is healthy and functioning, so we can’t be demonizing every bank out there,” Obama said. “We’ve got to be the party of business, small business and large business, because they produce jobs.”
Democrats also admitted that the “Question Time” was mostly staged to make the President look good.
Senate Democrats held back from asking President Barack Obama about healthcare reform during a carefully scripted question-and-answer session in front of television cameras.
With the cameras rolling, a group of senators selected in advance by the Democratic leadership asked questions about such topics as partisan gridlock and GOP obstruction.
Like all Democrats except John Edwards, these guys weren’t going to let reality get in front of a video camera. Behind closed doors, though, Obama’s lackeys got the full Jimmy Carter.
But once the president left and reporters were escorted out of the room, senators pressed White House officials about healthcare reform, according to those at the meeting.
Democrats expressed their frustration with the lack of a clear plan for passing healthcare reform, according to one person in the room.
One Democratic senator even grew heated in his remarks, according to the source.
“It wasn’t a discussion about how to get from Point A to Point B; it was a discussion about the lack of a plan to get from Point A to Point B,” said a person who attended the meeting. “Many of the members were frustrated, but one person really expressed his frustration.”
Senators did not want to press Obama on healthcare reform in front of television cameras for fear of putting him in an awkward spot.
