I'm not sure which is more telling, that an Obama voter in a prescreened audience asked this question or that President Obama's first response to a supporter now "exhausted of defending him" was, yes, to laugh...
President Obama's rambling, not-quite-answer can be viewed here. I'll admit, I found myself exhausted about the time he started describing all the billions of dollars we're supposedly saving by nationalizing the student loan industry. Because government bureaucracy is so much leaner and more efficient than the private sector. Or something.
And how she shouldn't worry about her family losing ground economically, because now credit card companies are required to notify her before they raise her interest rate.
Or something.

I couldn't watch the whole town hall. It was too annoying. Same old rhetoric.
I realized you weren't on my blog roll. Just added you!
Thank you!
I can't post this on my blog.... Rules are Rules! But! That doesn't mean I can't post political stuff here or at GP... I will need a safety valve you know!
Here’s the jist of the response:
“Your children will be able to put themselves in dept easier in order to finance their education, even though there aren’t any jobs for them when they come out of college… Oh, except for green jobs of course”
“We’ve created new rule to make sure credit card companies find new innovative ways to screw you”
“We are providing ladders to get to the middle class….. especially if you are rich.”
Jebus H! She’s a freaking CFO. She’s handled more financial responsibilities than he has all the way up to getting elected. And all th could give was this rambling answer? I wonder if he looked as much a fool in her eyes as he did in mine.
Politics or not, you are always welcome here, Sonic!
I love "We are providing ladders to the middle class... especially if you are rich." Wish I'd come up with that one.
I think I'm going to send it to Instapundit, see if he'll post it. It will suck, because now I won't be able to link it to my blog.... Unless I cheat!
Glad people are starting to see through the hopey changey stuff.
