Dem. Rep. Eric Massa Tries to Pass Himself Off as ObamaCare Opponent to Megyn Kelly - Video 8/19/09

Here is video of Fox News' Megyn Kelly interviewing New York Dem. Rep. Eric Massa about his comments over the weekend that he will vote however he pleases on the ObamaCare legislation, without regard to what his constituents believe.

Massa unbelievably tried to make out that he meant he would not vote FOR the bill even though many wanted him to do so. He cast himself as the opponent of ObamaCare, and even invoked the name of Ronald Reagan at the end! Massa has said he will vote against the current bill, but not because he opposes Government Health Care. He wants it to go even further - he wants a more radical bill!

Kelly initially called him on the fact that he actually wants a "single-payer" system - Total Government Health Care. But then she never followed up on it! She usually does a good job interviewing, but she totally blew this interview. She also never called him on his comments at the same meeting accusing Sen. Charles Grassley of an "act of treason" for his comments opposing ObamaCare.

The comments he was supposed to be explaining were to the radical Leftist Netroots Nation and he said:

"I will vote for the single-payer bill. Listen, I will vote adamantly against the interests of my district if I actually think what I'm doing is going to help them."
