Is this “irony?”

Or just “hypocrisy?”

Yesterday President Obama came out of hiding briefly in order to give a few remarks to the press. I’m *sure* the timing had nothing to do with the Akin “legitimate rape” scandal, but he touched on it nevertheless. In doing so, he said this:

So what I think these comments do underscore is why we shouldn’t have a bunch of politicians, a majority of whom are men, making health care decisions on behalf of women.

Anyone else find it odd that a politician who led a fight to install government as the arbiter of health care is now arguing that politicians should be in charge of health care?
