Ouch!  Posted on CNN of all places. 


"Worse, the administration is afflicted with a near debilitating case of the flip-flops. In an attempt to placate the blue dogs, who are increasingly squeamish about supporting anything that could undermine private insurance, Obama said Saturday that the "public option, whether we have it or we don't have it, is not the entirety of health care reform." The next day, in a television interview, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said a public option is "not an essential element" of overhauling the health care system.

Those comments, which were interpreted by most pundits and political observers as the administration backing away from support for a public option, sent the far left into cardiac arrest. So they turned up the heat. The head of a powerful labor union even put Democrats on notice that it would be, in future elections, open season on anyone who supported a health care reform plan that doesn't include a public option. Was that a threat? To quote you-know-who: "You betcha!"

So the administration flipped again. Earlier this week, Sebelius insisted that she didn't really say what she said and that "we continue to support the public option." White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs also tried to triage the situation by saying that Obama and Sebelius still think a public option is the way to keep costs in check but that they are open to other ideas. Glad they cleared that up.

Does anyone have something for a headache?"

They "tested the waters" and it didn't turn out very well for them . . .

We knew the back tracking would begin sooner or later. Too little too late.

The corporate media needs to be taught a lesson and only we the American people can do that. We DO have the power to boycott them. In the age of the internet, we don't need them!

We can refuse to give them ratings until they hire REAL journalists. The media has been doing this for several elections but last year's was the most egregious. Goebbels would have approved of them.

I say we continue to boycott them!

I have been boycotting MSNBC & CNN since Feb. 2008 and I haven't missed them one bit.  CBS, NBC, and ABC too; I find I have no need for as well.  I only watch some Prime time shows on those stations, but hardly any anymore.

Captain Friday is right - in the age of the internet, DVDs, Ipods, DVRs, and 100's of channels on demand there is no need to watch any of them.  I can get my news from BBC, FOX, watch it live on CSPAN, or surf the net - and it's without the "spin" of doe-eyed "journalists" caught up in Obamania.

Boycotting is the best tool we have.  No ratings = no advertisers = no revenue = end of business.  Either they changed the way they do business or they go bankrupt.  They must decide how much they are willing to give up, to keep "creating" their President's "story".
