Obama's Fox News interview: President says voters won't be fooled

By Michael D. Shear

In a rare interview with Fox News, President Obama said Wednesday that procedural maneuvers involving his health-care bill will not shield Democrats from those who want to criticize their stance on the issue.

"If people vote yes, whatever form that takes, that is going to be a vote for health-care reform," the president told Fox News Channel's Bret Baier, according to excerpts released Wednesday afternoon. "And I don't think we should pretend otherwise. And if they don't, if they vote against it, then they're going to be voting against health-care reform and they're going to be voting in favor of the status quo."

Obama criticized Washington for getting "very concerned" with procedures in Congress, and said he tries to ignore all of that.

"I don't spend a lot of time worrying about what the procedural rules are in the House or Senate," he said. "What I can tell you is that the vote that's taken in the House will be a vote for health care reform."

1. The bottom line is either a person if for the bill or against it. The procedural stuff

is for people easily distracted.

2. This statement is BULLshit. He does care, and is a politician.

He has cared, and played well. And his saying that he doesnt follow that i dotting and t crossing, is to tell you that you shouldnt. THis man is a master. He sounds strong, and confident. And he is unanticipated, and subtle. I like how he operates. We shout, he commands. I too wish he was far left, but then, this wo9uldnt be happening at all.
