Obama Says Attempted Terror Attack Proves Need for Airline Public Option

After an attempted terror attack on Christmas day, President Obama said in a press conference that the episode is clear proof that the airline industry needs a public option.

“This is a failed system,” said Obama.  “Failure to reform it will only mean that more people will die.  Right now millions of people don’t have access to safe airline travel.  Those of you who already have safe airline travel can keep what you have.  But we must provide a public option for those who wish to fly a government airline.  I am asking Congress to craft a plan that reforms our airline system and includes a public option for those who want it.  Safe airline travel is a right, not a privilege.”
