In campaign mode Obama gets careless...or thinks we're stupid

On June 30 in Racine, Wisconsin, at the kickoff of what has turned into Barack Obama's Socialism Victory Tour for Democrat candidates this fall, the President enlightened us with the following:

"You remember all the fear-mongering that was going on during the health care debate? All of you were told, you're going to lose your health care. It's going to be socialized. The government is going to come in and death panels are going to be set up and -- remember that? And now, we're about three, four months into it, and everybody is looking around and -- (laughter). But at the time -- at the time it was scary."

The Obamacare socialized medicine takeover legislation doesn't even go into effect until 2014, and he is saying now in 2010 just 3 or 4 months after its passage, hey, look around, where are all those scary results they told us about?

What I am wondering, actually, is just how stupid does he think we are? He is thinking that enough of us are too stupid to know that his socialized medicine bill doesn't go into effect until 2014, and that he can play us for fools with this kind of shameful, manipulative, abusive rhetoric.
