Dumb Things Politicians Say

[tech2101]

Whats wrong mate? Never watch the news? Never heard of google?

Your Link Sir

You quoted Pelosi as saying this: CBO will not be able to score savings for many of health programs proposed, but "those savings will be there"

Now what she actually said is below:

So let us wean out those costs. We know, for example, that CBO will not be able to score some of these obvious savings that will result. And people in Connecticut familiar with insurance will tell you that with respect to insurance IT, there are billions of more dollars that can be weaned out of the system.

13 paragraphs later she says this:

Mind you, much of the prevention that will be part of this, and the wellness and the rest in the bill, will not be scored as positive because that's the way the CBO scores, but it will be those savings will be there, and that's why I think at the end of the day we don't -- the revenue that we may take in may be more used for deficit reduction than it will be to cover what the industry did not want to give up as we tried to squeeze out as many savings as possible.

Nice how you took the liberty to combine 2 sentences that were 13 paragraphs apart and make them into one. You did not even paraphrase well.

I'll give a D- for effort. :huh:

I think the issue was your misrepresentation of the facts, not Pelosi's incompetence.

Its called paraphrasing example:

Obama paraphrase: "The economy will get worse (Bush's fault) until it gets better (my fault)"

What you did is not paraphrasing. Paraphrasing is kind of like clifs notes. It is a summary that carries the same meaning of the original text. Your 'paraphrase' was taken out of context and did not have the same meaning as the original statement.

That's your obviously overly biased opinion.

Not really. I used the dictionary.

a restatement of a text or passage giving the meaning in another form, as for clearness; rewording.

But if your interpretation makes you feel better, knock your self out.

Speaking of "sources", did you see how Obamas teleprompter committed suicide and hurls itself to an untimely end? Couldn't take any more lies and off'd himself.
