MSNBC Host on Hardball states that The President NEVER said he was in favor of a single payer system

Here is Lawrence O'Donnell from Hardball talking to someone who asked Arlen Specter a question at a town hall meeting. Listen to how he says that The President never said he was in favor of single payer. Just the other day at the town hall meeting in New Hampshire, The President said he never has said he is in favor of single payer.



But here is The President saying he is in favor of a single payer system. At 1:00 in the video, he says "I happen to be a PROPONENT of a single payer, universal health care plan". When The President is with people who are his buddies, like the AFL-CIO, ACORN, SEIU, etc., he tells them what he truly believes. But when he gets in front of the general public, he says what he has to say in order to get his agenda passed and sound like a moderate.



So, in fact, The President did say he is in favor of single payer. I guess MSNBC didn't see that video or are they not reporting it so people don't find out about it. Wake up America!
