“They don’t want me to be on the right,” Obama said. “This is the CBC.” (reuters)
President Obama was keynote speaker at the Congressional Black Caucus Annual Phoenix Awards Dinner in Washington. He talked about civil rights, his record on the economy and “health insurance reform,” but no mention of a government run public option. Notes the evening’s pool report:
The president then moved on to “health insurance reform.” This portion of the speech included many of the tenets of his recent speech to Congress, except in the portion where he discussed individuals with no insurance currently. He emphasized providing those people with “affordable choices” but did not mention the so-called public option. “We are talking about expanding choices,” he said.
