44 - Obama's 17-minute, 2,500-word response to woman's claim of being 'over-taxed'

I find it amazing that the entire country is shouting at him we are overtaxes.  This gentle woman, is the most direct way possible simply tells her president she is taxed enough already – and the takes 17 minutes to tell her why she isn’t.  His deafness is stunning.

CHARLOTTE - Even by President Obama's loquacious standards, an answer he gave here on health care Friday was a doozy.

Toward the end of a question-and-answer session with workers at an advanced battery technology manufacturer, a woman named Doris stood to ask the president whether it was a "wise decision to add more taxes to us with the health care" package.

"We are over-taxed as it is," Doris said bluntly.

Obama started out feisty. "Well, let's talk about that, because this is an area where there's been just a whole lot of misinformation, and I'm going to have to work hard over the next several months to clean up a lot of the misapprehensions that people have," the president said.
