Well Imagine that....Obama flip flopping. Ho hum....what's new?
" President Barack Obama's weekend concession on a health care "government option" drew complaints from liberals and scarce interest from Republicans and other critics on Monday, a fresh sign of the daunting challenge in finding middle ground in an increasingly partisan political struggle.
The White House insisted there had been no shift in position, adding the president still favors a federal option for the sale of health insurance. "The bottom line is this: Nothing has changed," said a memo containing suggested answers for administration allies to use if asked about the issue.
But some supporters of health care overhaul sounded less than reassured.
"You really can't do health reform" without allowing the government to compete with private insurers, said Howard Dean, a former Democratic Party chairman. "Let's not say we're doing health reform without a public option," he added in a slap at the administration's latest move.
His remarks were echoed by lawmakers as well as AFL-CIO President John Sweeney, who said the option was the only way to force "real competition" on the insurance industry."
I don't feel a bit sorry for anyone stupid enough to have not seen this coming and then who voted for him. You could tell by his donations, by his lack of action for the poor in his own community in Illinois among many, many other things that he was NO true liberal. He is for himself and that's all.
I have no pity for those of you who put the rest of us in this situation. You are fools who think only a new charmer could bring reform, because you despise a pragmatist. Well, let me tell you what, it is the pragmatist who gets things done in the end. Didn't you all read the turtle and the hare in school?? Don't you use pragmatism when getting things done in your own life? To do otherwise creates nothing but, chaos and failure.
Grow up progs..grow up. You want real change, it comes by having someone in government who is human and yes, will make some mistakes but who is dedicated AND very knowledgeable as to how the system works...you change things from within and you damned well BETTER know what you are doing.
You all want to pretend that all you need is a lightening rod "new" person in there..no...because the other half of the country HAS to be convinced, they get to vote too. To convince them you need someone who KNOWS in great detail what is going on and how to explain it to the average person. Instead we now have all pretty talk and no action.

Thanks for nothing.
I completely agree with you.
yes. Unfortunately, we all get to suffer. I have no sympathy for them. None.
