Best? Most eye-catching-est? chyron thus far during the president’s health care town hall in Portsmouth, NH, on MSNBC just now:
PRES: “I AM NOT IN FAVOR OF DEATH PANELS”
…said Obama in response to a little girl’s question about the “mean things” being said about health care reform. The president also assured (the girl?) that lawmakers don’t want to “pull the plug on grandma because we decided that it’s too expensive to let her live anymore,” all part of what the AP calls the president’s “fact check on ‘death panels.'”
