Gibbs, on asked if Obama would have rather had public option: "Hypothetical".
From today's press conference.

Q Would he rather have had a public option --

MR. GIBBS: You know, you ask me if the President would rather have won the lottery. It's an interesting hypothetical that --

Q We do hypotheticals now -- (laughter.)

MR. GIBBS: He'd disagree with you on that.

Q It's not hypothetical, it's in the House bill. I mean, does he support that --

MR. GIBBS: We're making progress. The President supports this process in terms of both good policy and as a way of moving that process forward.

(laughter)? Ha ha ha. Ha.

Nice flip comment meant to hide the fact that we're now going to be required to make insurance company executives and shareholders even wealthier.

Funny guy, isn't he?
