If you’re President Obama, you show up at a town hall event confident that your people have packed the audience with friendly faces. And then some damn college kid stands up and asks an Econ 101 question that exposes you as the fraud you are.
That’s exactly what happened at President Obama’s Town Hall Meeting in Grand Junction, Colorado when Zack Lane, a polysci major at asked the University of Colorado Bolder not only hit the President with a tough question, but challenged him to go mano-a-mano in an Oxford-style Debate.
“We all know the best way to reduce prices in this economy is to increase competition,” Lane said. “How in the world can a private corporation providing insurance compete with an entity that does not have to make worry about making a profit, that doesn’t have to pay local property taxes, they do not have to, they are not subject to local regulations. How can a company compete with that? I don’t want generalities. I don’t want philosophical arguments. I’m just asking a question.”
Obama responded with one of his patented “I’ll-talk-about-everything-but-the-answer-until-everyone-forgets-what-the-question-was” answers.
“Hey, what’s going on here,” Obama thought to himself. “College kids are supposed to love me.”
“Zack Lane,” we thought to ourselves, “for president 2024.”
