Obama's health care plan will be written by a committee whose head, John Conyers, says he doesn't understand it.

What could possibly go wrong?

Rick Perry
I would cap the amount of federal government can spend at 20 percent of the economy. Bring it back to 20 percent or lower. And say, we are not going to spend above that level.

Chris Christie
