ObamaSpeak?

[Dan Goncharoff]

"Either we ask the wealthiest Americans to pay their fair share in
taxes, or we're going to have to ask seniors to pay more for Medicare.
We can't afford to do both"

Isn't doing both the only thing we _can_ afford to do??

I am not trying to make a political point, but a rhetorical one -- as
I see it, Obama said the exact opposite of what he meant.
