that s how it works. that doesn t diminish from this process. it s still perfectly legitimate. people are very fashion gnat about it but this is how politics works. of course it s organized but there s nothing wrong with that. another wise man once said quoting weighty words doesn t add weight to an argument. there s nothing quantifiable about this being baked in or this being non-organic. there s a little bit of everything we see. you listen to those accents. if you listen to the raw tapes of where the people are from there s a lot of relationship constituents concerned about real issues. is it a mistake to dismiss it as articles. you have to say something. why do 200 people shout down a local republican congressman. they re going to have to get very strategic about this. once the big players get involved and look at what i consider an authentic ground
and distinction, it simply does not make sense. for the president actually to add weight to that in the rose garden, again, it doesn t make sense to me. it does seem like they certainly misread or misanticipated this reaction. bob shrum there s another quote that speaks to that, ben rhodes maintained there was no dissent from the decision to take swift action and the writer of the piece says it is only because the white house wasn t listening. how could they not have been aware of the dissent within the military ranks and congress? bob, did they just choose to ignore it or generally not aware? i think they thought there was great urgency here and had to move quickly. i would say two things. first of all, i m not willing to condemn this guy who volunteered and went off and fought for the country and did walk away once or twice, although he also we learned today tried to escape from his imprisonment and they
do. they will do more of it next year so little in the cupboard other than that the question is how badly will it hurt with the obamacare and the eanymore mick economy. growing anemic economy, growing doubts about the president and questions if he s concerned about these things why hasn t he done something to solve them. that s where they are coming and we know they are. three things we better be prepared to do. first, let s not make stupid mistakes like we did with todd aiken and richard murdock and add weight, power and influence to the arguments. sall, let s do a better job explaining what we believe. third, let s focus on a positive and optimistic agenda that s inclusive for as many americans as possible including working class people who might think republicans don t care about them. since there is no central
do that and are going to do more of it next year. the question is how badly will it hurt? and questions about you know if he s concerned about these things why hasn t he done something to solve them? you re right. that is where they re coming. we know they are. so there are three things we better be prepared to do. let s not make stupid mistakes and say things that add weight and power let s do a better job of explaining what we believe, third, do a better job focusing on a positive agenda that is inclusive for working class people. but this is no real central authority in republican party
change people s attitudes toward it both inside and outside the medical community. change funding in terms of insurance and research funding. there s a little bit more to it than that as well. when people have a lot of fat cells in their body, we know more than ever that those fat cells do more than just add weight. they can release these various types of chemicals. that can lead to other sorts of problems. the question, is obesity in and of itself a disease. i think there s actually pretty good evidence that it is. it can lead to diseases. in and of itself a disease as well. when you look at the numbers that came out of this ama report, one-third of americans are not just overweight but obese. what does this mean for them? well, i mean, i think that probably in terms of immediate things, if doctors are actually treating this as a disease and there s more funding, insurance is reimbursing doctors, for example, for counseling patients on obesity. getting types of treatments that mig
