The only time we get to hear anything even approximating what Obama really thinks is when he thinks nobody will find out. "In the candid remarks, Mr. Obama complains of Republican attempts to attach measures to the budget bill which would have effectively killed parts of his hard-won health care reform program." Here's what he said. Last night in Chicago, closed-door campaign fundraiser, this a portion of what he said when he didn't think anybody would hear it.
OBAMA: I said, "You want to repeal health care? Go at it. We'll have that debate. You're not going to be able to do that by nickel-and-diming me in the budget. You think we're stupid?" We're happy to have the debate. We'll have the debate on the floor of the Senate or the floor of the House.
[The Planned Parenthood defunding bill] Put it in a separate bill. We'll call it up -- and if you think you can overturn my veto, try it. But don't try to sneak this through.
Frankly, I don't see what's so bad about that. He's angry. Who wouldn't be?
