“Sure, Obama’s answer was nine times longer than the Gettysburg Address, but it was, like, a gazillion times more bitchin’.”

The brilliant Charles Krauthammer riffs on Obama’s 17 minute, billion word answer to a woman who didn’t like higher taxes

The brilliant Charles Krauthammer riffs on Obama’s 17 minute, billion word answer to a woman who didn’t like higher taxes:

“I don’t know why your surprised. It’s only nine times longer than the Gettysburg Address. And, after all Lincoln was answering an easier question on the higher purpose of the union and soldiers that fall in battle. Look the president had an easy answer. He could have said, “Hey I wanted to make history with health care and to do it and to make the CBO numbers look OK I had to raise your taxes. Sure it’s not a good time economically in the middle of a recession but politically I had to because I have a window a majority in Congress and I’m going to lose in November.” End of answer.”

Can’t really remember what Mr. Hostettler said in history class. Did anyone go out to the kitchen and make a sandwich during the Gettysburg Address?
