Smooth move, Barry. When selling your health care plan, maybe you shouldn't have compared the government option to the post office.
He countered a distortion of a rule that would require Medicare to pay for end-of-life care counseling, and compared the relationship between a public option and private insurers with that of the Post Office, and private shippers FedEx, and UPS. “‘UPS and FedEx are doing just fine,’ Mr. Obama joked. ‘It’s the Post Office that’s always having problems.’”
Wait a sec, isn't the option you're pushing, the post office option, and not the FedEx/UPS option?

What a sad epilogue (and I think it will be) to a failed program when the president exemplifies the problem with his own analogy as to how the private sector can do anything better than the government.
