On “This Week,” George Stephanopoulos and President Obama have a colorful discussion over Obama’s health care reform proposal.
Stephanopoulos takes issue with a mandate that obligates Americans to purchase health insurance, or risk being fined as much as $900. “How is that not a tax?”
“A responsibility to get health insurance is not a tax increase,” obama said.
Stephanopoulos then tells Obama that he looked up the definition of “tax” in Merriam Webster’s dictionary.
“The fact that you looked up… the definition of tax increase indicates that you’re stretching a little bit right now,” Obama responded.

Secretary of Education Arne Duncan appears on “Face the Nation” to address criticism from the right regarding President Obama’s in-school speech to schoolchildren.
“All the drama, all the hoopla, at the end of the day, if the President motivates… one student who’s thinking about dropping out to stay in school and take their education seriously., it’s all worth it.”
He also noted that it would be “just silly” for parents to keep their kids home from school on the day obama would be speaking to schoolchildren. “It’s just gonna be an 18-minute speech,” he said. “That just doesn’t make any sense.”
“I don’t spend any time on the silly stuff,” Duncan said. “I try and stay laser-like focused on really dramatically improving what’s going on for our nation’s children.”
