From our dear leader:

When I was young, just got out of college, I had to buy auto insurance. I had a beat-up old car. And I won’t name the name of the insurance company, but there was a company — let’s call it Acme Insurance in Illinois. And I was paying my premiums every month. After about six months I got rear-ended and I called up Acme and said, I’d like to see if I can get my car repaired, and they laughed at me over the phone because really this was set up not to actually provide insurance; what it was set up was to meet the legal requirements. But it really wasn’t serious insurance.

Now, it’s one thing if you’ve got an old beat-up car that you can’t get fixed. It’s another thing if your kid is sick, or you’ve got breast cancer.

I would laugh at him too. He called the wrong insurance company. The driver who rear ended him is responsible and therefore Obama needed to contact his insurance.

Throw in there that comparing car insurance to health insurance is meaningless since 1) You don’t have to drive and 2) You can purchase liability insurance to protect everyone else except your old beater 3) Car insurance doesn’t cover routine maintenance as a way to lower all car expenses by catching major problems before they happen.

Did he really go to Harvard Law? What an idiot.
