Notice the exact words he used. Not "we want to do what the American people have said they want us to do" but rather "what WE think is best for the American people". If he paid any attentio at all to the Republican town hall meetings and what the Republican constituents told their legislators he would know that what HE thinks is best for us isn't at all what WE think is best for us. When I say "us" I mean Republicans and Democrats alike. We the people. Bipartisan, not partisan. The pols must really think we the people are dumb as mud to think for a moment we buy that line. :(
