Government vs Private.

Last week, obama in an effort to buffer up his govt obama healthcare plan...used as an example of the Post office against Fed Ex.
Saying that the govt plan would NOT hurt the private sector healthplan, he said :

.."if you think about it, UPS and FedEx are doing just fine, right? No, they are. It’s the Post Office that’s always having problems. "

Now of course, he's being dishonest because if the govt plan gets rammed through the companies are going to dump their own plans and push everyone into a much crappier Govt plan.
BUT what I find especially delectable is that he is using the post office (A GOVT RUN ENTITY) as the example of the terrible rout, and Fed Ex ( A PRIVATE ENTITY) as the example of the GREAT rout.

He wants the GOVT to be in charge of health care and basically become....the Post Office.
Because that's what it would become. That's what it WILL become.

And this guy went to Harvard.
