If I only had a brain... (5)

Let's play spot the straw man:

"There's going to be a major debate over the next three weeks," Obama said in Warren, Mich., deviating from his prepared text on new spending for community colleges. "And don't be fooled by folks trying to scare you saying we can't change the health care system. We have no choice but to change the health care system because right now it's broken for too many Americans."
I don't think you'll find too many people that say our health care system isn't somewhat dysfunctional. You will find a lot of people who disagree with the President on how to fix it.

I wonder if this is the same straw man that had Obama worried during the election:

"Nobody thinks that Bush and McCain have a real answer to the challenges we face. So what they're going to try to do is make you scared of me," Obama said. "You know, he's not patriotic enough, he's got a funny name, you know, he doesn't look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills."
