Let’s look!

Well, our good friends over at CrooksAndLiars.com went to the video archives, and pulled a YouTube from 2006 that puts the ad that CNN won’t run into proper perspective – let’s look!

Well, all-”righty”!

That line, “My salary’s in the millions and my dividends obscene”, at the beginning?

Remember an insurance guy by the name of Bill McGuire? From a 2006 Kare11 news report:

How big is the stock option compensation at UnitedHealth? CEO William McGuire has accumulated options presently worth more than $1.5 billion. (Kare11)

Ladies and Gentlemen, there are billions of reasons the GOP is fighting health care reform, and none of those billions are for you.
