John Morgan. Did he slip? Or didn't he?


"There is a lot of problems with Obamacare," John Morgan said when someone put a video camera in front of him Tuesday night and asked him.

Soon, a three-second video of Morgan uttering that sentence was featured in a Republican Party of Florida press release declaring that the Democratic fundraiser and law partner of Democratic gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist was disagreeing with Crist, who stated he saw no problems with the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.

Asked about the sentence after he delivered a speech in Orlando Wednesday, Morgan said it's all a matter of context, and said he said the problem was with governors "trying to block it."

But the Republican Party of Florida disputed that and released a second video, the raw video of the full question and answer, plus the following question, in which Morgan did not offer any context. Here is that footage.

To say he's not a politician is a laugh, because his law firm is loaded with political attorneys who are major hitters in their respective parties.

I wish Obama would take this slip-up of his and realize that he's one of the old guard dems that will play to all sides.

That's not helpful to us who have been damaged by political lawyers who handled their public service incompetently or unethically.

Democrats just need to be aware that Republicans will pounce on even the tiniest slip-up and next thing they know there'll be a Koch financed ad on TV about them.
