18. Rightwing people that he has been
"interviewing" under the heading Messing with Healthcare, or some such nonsense for the past few hours. A few minutes ago, Don Lemmon complained about a tweet from someone complaining about the rightwing slant. Has CNN even switched to the Obama audio yet? I gave up and went to MSNBC.
