Obama admits to blogger he isn't familiar with healthcare legislation being drafted

By Steve Collier, Colorado Springs

Earlier today, the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, reported on a blogger's roundtable (interview bloggers via teleconference) and the transcript that came form the roundtable. The transcript, as they found, was quite disturbing.

If you were working to pass a $1 Trillion-plus bill through the U.S. Congress, effectively altering the U.S.'s medical system forever, wouldn't you find it prudent to review every nook and crany in the bill to become familiar with it? Perhaps, to even try and sell it to the American people?

As the Heritage Foundation reported (click here for the story), the President was asked by a blogger from main the following question: "Is this true? Will people be able to keep their insurance and will insurers be able to write new policies even though H.R. 3200 is passed?"

The President's response? "“You know, I have to say that I am not familiar with the provision you are talking about.”

The man is looking to completely alter our medical system and way of life forever with a socialist healthcare system, AND HE HASN'T EVEN READ THE DAMN BILL!!! How many times are we going to let politicians get away with passing legislation more expensive than the one before it, and not hold out leaders accountable for not reading the damn legislation!

If this doesn't upset, you are obviously devoid of the national discussion taking place in D.C. and at Town hall meetings nationwide. See some of the following videos for Americans angry at their politicans:

Call you Senators... tell them to read the bill. And once they have read the flawed healthcare legislation, tell them to vote an overwhelming NO on the legislation. Here's the phone numbers:
