Video: Montana Town Hall - President Obama takes question from skeptical conservative and NRA member


At President Obama's town hall meeting in Belgrade, Montana, Obama takes a question from Randy, a "proud NRA member" who says he gets his news from "cable networks", to which Obama says, "be careful". Skeptical about who will foot the bill for health care reform, Randy asks the President how he doesn't expect to raise taxes on the middle class.

Obama says: "You're absolutely right that I can't cover 46 million people for free... We're going to have to find money from somewhere." But he stood by his promise that the middle class would not see their taxes raised. And he also explained why some of this is the problem of the Bush administration.
