Speaking about health care reform at the Congressional Black Caucus gala Saturday night, President Obama relayed an anecdote from the G-20 Summit, in which an anonymous world leader said he was dumbfounded over the health care debate — especially the comparisons to Hitler.
“One of the leaders, I won’t mention who it was, he comes up to me and … he says, ‘Barack, explain to me this health care debate.’ He says, ‘We don’t understand it. You’re trying to make sure everyone has health care and they’re putting a Hitler moustache on you. That doesn’t make sense to me, explain that to me,'” Obama said. “He didn’t understand.”
Signs of Obama sporting a Hitler moustache, mostly from supporters of fringe figure Lyndon LaRouche, have popped up at town halls and anti-reform rallies. Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) famously took one such LaRouchie to task, asking her what planet she was from.
