Excuse me, Mr. President?

Dear American journalists/media people who were lucky enough to attend Mr. President's Q&A session tonight:

Have you ever considered asking straightforward questions? If logic serves me right, straightforward questions demand straightforward answers. None of this three tiered, multi-comma-ed hogwash. Enough of these addendums to the addendum of the addendum.

Also, what ever happened to going with the flow of conversation? If something sounds fishy, why not ask about that instead of what you've rehearsed? What's the point of a live Q&A if the questions aren't here and now? May as well move the Q&A to a chat room or something. Or an email blast.

In conclusion, when the President admits that everyone will be contributing $$ for healthcare because it's what we need, and then goes on to say the next 10 years will have us seeing a two-point-something trillion dollar decrease in our national defecit, then that's where you step in and call him on it and say something like:

Mr. President, it seems to me, then that you're not considering national healthcare out of need as much as you're considering it as a means by which the government will acquire more dollars to put toward the defecit. Am I right?

Really wish someone would have broken script and shot this one at him.
