His standard line during the Democrat debates was, "the reason people don't have health insurance isn't because they don't want it, it's because they can't afford it." Typically, he would go on to say that an individual mandate wouldn't work anyway, noting that many drivers fail to buy auto insurance despite state laws requiring everyone to do so. [..]

Obama is now "open" to signing a reform bill containing an individual mandate. Moreover, as he explained to George Stephanopoulos last Sunday, he has also changed his opinion of the fines that must be used to enforce a mandate. Incredibly, he defends this audacious flip-flop using the same auto insurance analogy he once used to prove that mandates won't work: "We're not going to have other people carrying your burdens for you any more than the fact that right now everybody in America, just about, has to get auto insurance."

Hah! Ain't this a beaut, Mr Rot? Have another Stiegl while you ponder this gem of Pinko Logic 101:
(A=>B) <=> (A=> not B)
