This president can't answer simple questions. He proved it in the Baeir interview. While in North Carolina to toot his horn about a battery plant, he was asked this, SIMPLE question.
The "Filibusterer and Chief" knowing he was cornered and probably wondering how this female "Jane the Plumber" had gotten in, proceeded to answer her question.
He then spent the next 17 minutes and 12 seconds lulling the crowd into a daze. His discursive answer - more than 2,500 words long -- wandered from topic to topic, including commentary on the deficit, pay-as-you-go rules passed by Congress, Congressional Budget Office reports on Medicare waste, COBRA coverage, the Recovery Act and Federal Medical Assistance Percentages.
Even Obama realized what he was doing
No, you didn't answer it. And of course we are grossly over taxed. We all know it. So the only way to get around it is to make the answer so long we forget the question.
Quote:CHARLOTTE - Even by President Obama's loquacious standards, an answer he gave here on health care Friday was a doozy.
Toward the end of a question-and-answer session with workers at an advanced battery technology manufacturer, a woman named Doris stood to ask the president whether it was a "wise decision to add more taxes to us with the health care" package.
"We are over-taxed as it is," Doris said bluntly.

Quote:"Boy, that was a long answer. I'm sorry," he said, drawing nervous laughter that sounded somewhat like relief as he wrapped up.
But, he said: "I hope I answered your question."
No, you didn't answer it. And of course we are grossly over taxed. We all know it. So the only way to get around it is to make the answer so long we forget the question.
