This will explain everything you guys are asking for him. So what are we looking at here? Yeah, what are we looking at? I have no idea. That would be Obama's broken promise in terms of, you know, what he said the cost of an average family plan would be in a year. And he said by the end of his first term, it'd be down by $2,500 per family. In fact, it's up by about $2,200. That's about a $4,900 difference. I call that a $4,900 broken promise. I'm going to hand this exhibit one to defense counsel to take that apart, it seems like. (02:28–02:42)
