Everything starts with an "idea".
And Pres. Obama is a smart guy. His team is pretty smart too. I don't think he really makes mistakes in things he has said in the past that had people wondering why he would say such things.
I believe everything he (and most politicians in high places of power) says is carefully thought out ahead of time and discussed, analyzed, and "perfected".
He flies this "idea" out there. The general public is outraged.
Then the next time he, or another future president/politician just happen to "randomly" "mention" this "idea" again to the national press...it won't draw as much outrage.
And soon it will be able to be "mentioned" without the news even bothering to report it.
And a few years down the line when it becomes law...people will have already subconsciously accepted it.
Just like gay marriage or new marijuana legalization (both of which I agree with because they encourage FREEDOM).
The govt. is very smart and knows exactly how to manipulate the general public. They employ full-time people whose only job is to slip in little "ideas" like that and massage them into fruition.
Not saying all these kinds of things come to pass. But a lot of them do.
And if you think that Pres. Obama was just speaking off the top of his head...you would be woefully naive as to how that game works.
