Obama takes this ignorant NRA member to school and then thanks him afterwards. Classic! The questioner revealed his true colors when he said he watches cable news (Faux) cause he doesn't like spin.

1. And there you have the reason why the right wants to shut down

debate....they loose when they allow it to happen.

5. Just had to mention he's a NRA member?? Why?

What the HELL is with those rednecks?? Hey look Obama,I'm a rough tough NRA member. Is that suppose to be some kind of ridiculous veiled threat? WTF does that have to do with a health care discussion?

Whatever,Obama answered his question FULLY and SMARTLY and smacked him down with how this would get PAID for unlike Bush and his plan. Should have mentioned the Illegal Iraq War debt that is now nearly $700 billion and how we were NEVER told how it would get paid for either.

6. wow... well done

7. Good response.

I liked how he pointed out in the end that he, by the way, believes in the Constitution, too. Beat them with facts and class but confront them whenever they try their crap.
And I agree with the first reply. This is a perfect example why a certain part of the other side doesn't even try to have a discussion, or an exchange of ideas and opinions. Those behind these "disruptors" (especially those with direct financial interests) know very well that they can't win this by dealing with this subject in a rational manner.

8. Exactly why the radical RW cannot let this kind of dialog happen

BTW,funny how FOX and the other NeoNuts claimed that NO ONE could get in the Obama town hall meetings that didn't agree with him 100%--and it was invitation ONLY. BS and this video proves it beyond a doubt.

But this can't stand with Republicans. Those against reform ask questions and Obama or any other Senator are allowed to answer without the shouting and screaming. The LAST thing a Republican wants is the honest TRUTH to come out whether it's a put up War in Iraq or questions about health care reform.

9. That was actually a reasonable question coming from the right

and Obama answered it beautifully.

12. I agree

As long as they act rationally and ask reasonable questions, I am not against having some debate...

10. Wow! We have an awesome PRESIDENT:)

[Puppyjive]

11. I have an idea

Let's tax every gun sale and every ammo sale, right down to a single bullet, to pay for health care. Could you imagine opening this can of worms? You just can reason with dumb.

[bulloney]

13. He watches cable news (Fox I assume he means) because he doesn't like spin. WTF?

That's like saying I eat sausage because I don't like pork.

That's about as dumb as those dufuses who yell at the town hall meetings to keep government out of their Medicare.

18. I like your name and your comments....n/t

[DutchLiberal]

15. Very smart of Obama to use the words "people like myself"...

...when talking about taxes. It immediately shows the people there he's talking about wealthy people. A number can be vague and abstract, but I think this will be cristal clear.

[davidhilton]

16. i knew there was a reason i voted for obama n/t

[liquid diamond]

17. Obama made it easy to understand for the RW psychos.

I'll give Randy credit though. At least he asked his question in a civil manner instead of screaming and talking about God.
