John, Below is an article referring to the issue. I believe it illustrates my point re Obama on selective commentary on the health care issue re McCain tax policy. I agree with you that the Dean clip could have been edited for effect - I don't know. Such practice IMO is standard political fare. Look - Obama is first and foremost a down and dirty Chicago politician. I think to some extent that is a necessary trait in a politician to get things done. It simply needs to be recognized. In the context of this discussion it is only important when I sense efforts to Canonize the guy and demonize the opposition for the same policies. articles.latimes.com "It's true that McCain doesn't mention that he would tax health benefits on the section of his website where he describes his plan. But the Obama ad omits some important context -- the tax credit McCain plans to offer would be more generous than the current tax break, at least for most families for the first several years, according to an analysis by the Tax Policy Center."
