ABC Promises 'Tough Questions' for Obama in 'Television Event'
Brent Baker brings to our attention the first ad he has seen touting ABC's prime time special where “President Obama answers all of your tough questions about your health care.” I doubt it!
Script of the narration:
What's more important than having good health care (we have plenty of good health care) when you need it? Nothing. That's why Wednesday at 10 on ABC Charlie Gibson and Diane Sawyer take you inside his house: The White House, for a television event as President Obama answers all of your tough questions about your health care.
Hey ABC - it's not his house, it our house!
From the Combox:
Right on! His house, acquired through questionable means, is in Chicago. The White House may be his home for the time being, but even if he plans on being "President-for-Life", the White House will always be our house, not his. There's a distinction between "home" and "house", with the former being a statement about where one lives, and the latter implying ownership. To the Diane Sawyers of the world, language is everything. Get it right!

The distinction between the assets of the country and those of our elected leaders is absolutely essential to prevent tyranny. It is precisely when our leaders begin to think of what has been entrusted for their use as "theirs" -- once they forget that it doesn't belong to them but they hold it in trust as stewards of the country's well-being -- then all is definitely not well in the Republic.
