But as Scirocco33 said - it isn't as cut and dry as it sounds. I believe this is where we all fail, going by your post - Obama is wrong (although it says said by Howard Dean - what quote is Obama's and what is Dean's?). With additional information, it seems that he may not be as wrong as originally thought. As you have a 25yr vet for the bill (and has no party affiliation).
