AMERICAblog: RNC chair Michael Steele upset that Obama read Kennedy's letter, per Kennedy's wishes

    They really are running out of options except to be ridiculous.

    But when Huckabee pimped lies about health care reform before Ted was even in the ground? Silence. I really wonder who Steele thinks he's fooling. (Aside from the MSM.)

    Yes, I'm sure Vicki Kennedy, Mrs. Obama's personal guest and friend of the Obamas, had no idea the President was going to talk about her husband in a meaningful and honorable manner. Oh the terror!

    Thank God we have the insightful and tender Michael Steele to point that out for us.

    What Obama said was:

    "In it, he spoke about what a happy time his last months were, thanks to the love and support of family and friends, his wife, Vicki, and his children, who are here tonight . And he expressed confidence that this would be the year that health care reform – “that great unfinished business of our society,” he called it – would finally pass. He repeated the truth that health care is decisive for our future prosperity, but he also reminded me that “it concerns more than material things.” “What we face,” he wrote, “is above all a moral issue; at stake are not just the details of policy, but fundamental principles of social justice and the character of our country.” "

    What Obama did NOT read was:

    " And while I will not see the victory, I was able to look forward and know that we will – yes, we will – fulfill the promise of health care in America as a right and not a privilege."

    A RIGHT and NOT A PRIVILEGE.

    Steele is a punk. But Obama is being a punk of a different sort.

    Steele and the lying crowd of Repukes are afraid that people will wake up and realize they do not have that right.

    They are too stupid to realize that right now they don't have to worry about Obama fighting for any such right.
