The administration’s health care dreams are in enough trouble that the White House had to answer an old video clip of Obama that showed up on Drudge. You can look at the clip and the White House answer here.
What cracks me up about this is what it reveals about what the White House thinks refutation is. Suppose a clip surfaced in which Obama confessed to a particular crime. Would it be to the point to produce another clip in which he denied it? All the second clip will do is make people think, “Whoa. He is a criminal and a liar.”
If the White House thinks the Drudge clip was “out of context,” then what they need to do is show that same clip in its fuller context. If that fuller context shows that Obama wasn’t arguing that point at all, then you have a refutation. But as it is . . . heh.
