I consider the reply insightful of the type of person Obama is and how peple respond to him. Pretty cool reply to a random person yelling "I love you I'd probably laugh and be speechless as I imagine I'd find that funny if it happend to me, but it probably has happend to Obama a few times by now. Obama to Rich guy "If you love me you will be happy to pay more taxes!"

Re: Obama's latest jobs/opening campaign/scream foul to the media - speech
The worst part is I missed responding with the correct cultural reference.
I should have said something like this: citizen: I love you! Obama: and I love you, random citizen.

Good interviews, TL. Jennifer Granholms' analysis makes a lot of sense.

Re: Obama's latest jobs/opening campaign/scream foul to the media - speech
Did you catch her last couple of comments? She made the best argument *for* Obamacare that I have ever heard. In essence, she stated that some corporations are moving jobs overseas because the governments there take the costs of providing health coverage to employees rather than the businesses, which takes that expense off their P&L and improves their bottom line.

Yeah they been doing that for years now. Small countries house the headquarters of some of America's largest corporations and businesses.

The foreign countries that offer nationalized healthcare fund that through higher taxes and (former) Gov. Granholm stated that Singapore (the most popular country for corporate investment) does not have a laissez faire system. So the corporations DO pay taxes and, presumably, higher taxes to help fund the cost of the healthcare. In America, corporations are offered tax cuts and tax incentives to help offset the cost they must bear for healthcare. It doesn't balance the equation completely, but it is worth noting that even corporations are not getting "free" healthcare for their employees in other countries. A big portion of the improved P&L comes from the lower wages they can pay and longer hours they can have their employees work.
