The humor in this video is unquestionable. Whether or not you agree with a public mandate does not even matter. Stephanopoulos tries his hardest to actually question Obama, but of course Obama will not have it.

Obama says that the rise in premiums due to the uninsured is “effectively a tax increase”, but the proposed fines if you are uninsured is definitely not a tax. Obama is unquestionably slick. President Obama may be slowly finding out that his free pass with the media maybe ending as his popularity drops. Remember, the media gave Bush a free pass right until his popularity started to wane. Network media is finally starting to see that Fox News is getting more and more popular due to their reporting of the issues and their asking of hard questions.

Look to see that Obama’s next Media blitz will not go as smoothly as this one. More and more questions will be asked, and more and more questions will actually have proper followups. Once the media realizes that the President can be flustered with “pestering,” such as George Stephanopoulos did, the more blatant B.S. we will begin to see.
