A Legitimate Philosophical Disagreement
Posted by Macon Phillips on February 25, 2010 at 02:28 PM EST
Walking back to the White House to grab lunch after the morning session of the bipartisan meeting at the Blair House, the President stopped in front of the gate on Pennsylvania Avenue to answer a quick question about progress so far:
Q. How is it going, Mr. President?
THE PRESIDENT: It’s interesting. I mean, I don't know if it’s interesting watching it on TV, but it’s interesting being part of it.
Q. Are you making progress?
Q. How is the progress?
THE PRESIDENT: I think we're establishing that there are actually some areas of real agreement and we're starting to focus on what the real disagreements are. If you look at the issue of how much government should be involved -- the argument that Republicans are making really isn’t that this is a government takeover of health care, but rather that we’re insuring the -- or we're regulating the insurance market too much. And that's a legitimate philosophical disagreement. We'll hopefully be able to explore it a little more in the afternoon.
The afternoon session has begun, watch it live with real-time updates.
