This is the same video, exactly. I am using the video from Fire Dog Lake this time.

I can not believe the way this interview has been spun here. I just got to see it. It is a shame to misrepresent what people say at this crucial time in our country.

Just some examples:

Norah says doesn't this bill just require 30 million people to buy into an already broken system?

Dean agrees. He says there is almost no health reform at all. Says a little moderate insurance reform.

He hesitating says he "thinks" the bill should go to conference. He says some of that is emotional. He sees the Republicans who haven't lifted a finger to do anything on health care for many decades. He commends Sheldon Whitehouse for calling them out.

He says as a result of some of the discussions that went on after he spoke out some improvements were put into the bill.

Norah stupidly asks him why he is allowing Democrats to vote for the bill? Does she not understand he has no say? He grins and corrects her. She is simply foolish in my mind.

He says what the insurance companies got were about 30 million new customers without much control on cost.

He says he thinks it should be allowed to go to conference though he does not like the bill. He makes that plain. He think the House bill might be able to make it better in conference.

Since the bill is being passed this week, WTH is he supposed to say.

Norah asks if he agrees with Feingold that the WH is to blame for the lack of a public option. He says yes.

There has been ranting and raving all over this forum Oh Dean back down. Watch the video, decide for yourself.

Is there no common sense anymore? Is it all about gotcha stuff?

1. This was at the top of the front page.

It was still getting recommended.

I found another source for the video.

I am sorry the other was closed.

[madfloridian]

2. I have requested politely that the other be unlocked.

The two videos are identical completely.

3. Yes! K&R

Something smells/...............

[madfloridian]

4. There were 235 recs.

It was not due to fall off until after 12.

The videos are exactly the same. Exactly.

The source is MSNBC.

I am sorry it happened.

I think we need to look into this moderators reason for Locking.

I stand with you madfloridian

[madfloridian]

10. Be careful.

I don't want this one locked even though it is negative territory instead of 235 plus.

Don't criticize the mods...shhhh

11. I imagine that Dean is a total monkey-wrench in certain "3rd party" trends around here.

I'm not surprised that this perspective on Dean as an effective leader is something that divisive forces (Libertarian and Green?) here at DU do not want to see popularized.

12. too stupid for tv

Norah is some dumb.
