Vice President Joe Biden accidentally tried to pitch Obamacare to a Canadian visiting the U.S. during a stop in Scottsdale, Ariz., 3TV reports.
Biden sat next to "Jackie" on a bench and, gripping her left arm, told her why she should buy health insurance. If not for her, Biden said, she should do it for her parents.
Jackie was too polite or shy, apparently, to tell Biden in front of the cameras she hailed from Canada and not part of the group the White House is trying to recruit on its unpopular law.
"I just didn't know if I should say 'I'm sorry, I'm Canadian, I don't know if I can help you out,'" she said.
