President Obama, to which Sean Hannity just said that Obama went to far when he said insurance executives were bad people. WTF???????? (via biteofpythias with some clean-up)

This is a precocious-child type manipulation by grown-man Hannity. He’s treating “they’re bad people” as if Obama considers it a true premise independent of - and irrelevant to - the undesirable outcomes of health insurance profit motives.

Hannity’s purported interpretation of Obama’s meaning is:

“Insurance executives are bad people. Stop. Next thought: they manipulate clients not because of their badness, rather it’s good for the bottom line.”

When Obama’s actual intent was closer to:

“Insurance executives are not bad people. Despite this…”
