Psychologists Call It “Projection”

President Obama really hates scare tactics:

August 12, 2009: "[The special interests] use their political allies to scare and mislead the American people.”
August 15, 2009: “Americans whose jobs and health care are secure today just don’t know if they’ll be next to join the 14,000 who lose their health insurance every single day. And if we don’t act, average family premiums will keep rising to more than $22,000 within a decade!"

Sept. 12 2009: "We've heard scare tactics instead of honest debate.”
September 9, 2009: “Everyone in this room knows what will happen if we do nothing. Our deficit will grow. More families will go bankrupt… And more will die as a result.”

December 9, 2009: "Stop trying to frighten the American people.”
December 16, 2009: “If we don't pass it, here's the guarantee….your premiums will go up, your employers are going to load up more costs on you,” and “the federal government will go bankrupt.”

Okay, okay.

We’re scared.
