Maybe Not the Best Example, Mr. President

You have to see the Youtube clip to have the appropriate appreciation for this major gaffe on the part of President Obama. Speaking at his very "managed" town hall in Portsmouth, N.H., the president answered a question thusly:

"I recognize," the president said, "that you have a legitimate concern. How can a private company compete against the government?"

"If you think about it," he continued, "UPS and FedEx are doing just fine. Right?"

"It's the Post Office that's always having problems."

That doesn't exactly inspires one's confidence in government-run health care.
