Hear, hear. I’m tired of all this distracting talk about racism in the health care debate. You can disagree with a liberal policy championed by a black President without being a racist. Lots of people have been misled into fearing health care reform for lots of reasons. I’m glad to see our President laughing this stuff off and keeping focused on the issues.
