I don't think I've ever been more sickened by my side in politics than when I opened up today's paper and discovered that Obama's hinting at trying to "compromise" by getting rid of the public option for heath care. Compromise? THE ENTIRE POINT WAS THE PUBLIC OPTION! There is no compromise on that. There either is one or there isn't ( Read more... )

"furious". Also a good word.

Actually I’ve been very impressed with the tactics & leadership used to keep the conversation going until the bills are back in front of a sitting committee. The arrogance of the Pelosi/Reid led congress would have provided the Democrats with the shortest majority in US history. The President is doing a wonderful job of making sure that doesn’t happen.

Completely with you on that. IT WAS THE WHOLE POINT!

AND -- AND! It's not like Obama's GETTING anything out of caving. It's not like anybody, like AT ALL, is saying, "Aha, now I'll vote for it and I wasn't going to before."

He's caving to try to satisfy a group that can't be satisfied, that doesn't WANT to be satisfied. Those opposed to health care reform, by and large, aren't interested in making Obama's suggestion better. They just want to kill it, and so that means oppose, oppose, oppose. Obama et al. give something up? Doesn't matter -- oppose, oppose, oppose.

It's disgustipatin'.
