Andrea Mitchell, who knows better what's good for us, with husband Alan Greenspan
This morning, on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” reporter Andrea Mitchell (who is married to former Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan) made the following condescending remark about Americans who oppose ObamaCare:
“You’ve got 47% of the people in our NBC/Wall Street Journal opinion poll who have health insurance who don’t like what the president is doing. The problem he’s got — 47% of the people who’ve got coverage don’t want change. They don’t like what they’re hearing. Now, they may not know what’s good for them, but the problem is that he always knew he was going to have to persuade people with insurance, that’s the largest number, not the people without insurance, for expanded coverage. So they’ve got a real problem.”

BITE ME Andrea…over my dead body will I let my govt determine what is best for me!
Eowyn,
Of course we don’t know what’s good for us, we ain’t dripping in money like her and her husband are. Any bets that if somehow this country ever went to socialized medicine, that the wealthy (Andrea and her hubby) would simply buy the the only quality care available?

As I noted elsewhere, if Andrea is anywhere near as smart as she thinks she is, she will bolt the country, as I have a feeling when the pitchforks come out, some are going to be headed in her direction.

This is reminiscent of the New Yorker from the upper East Side who remarked when Reagan (?) won: “How could he have won; I don’t know anyone who voted for him.” They do make a beautiful couple though–Beamis meet Butthead.
she’s quiet the spin master, huh
