The White House is now directly taking on Matt Drudge, who hyped a YouTube using edited clips of Obama appearing to say he wanted to eventually disestablish private health insurance.
Here’s the new video from Linda Douglass, the White House spokesperson on health care, saying that other videos give a greater context to Obama’s policy, with him saying quite the opposite:
“You know, the people who always try to scare people whenever you try to bring them health insurance reform, are at it again,” said Douglass. “And they’re taking sentences and phrases out of context, and cobbling them together to leave a false impression.”
