He self-identifies as a Blue Dog Democrat....
Did you think the color of his skin made him a Liberal? In a different age he would have been a Liberal Republican.
All politics is the art of the possible. Do you think he hadn't heard about the meeting to nullify his presidency before the book came out? I do not like the ACA anymore than do you...but should we have abandoned those with pre-existing conditions, or the young people who are now insured on their parents policies, or those who will benefit from the expanded medicaid coverage because the bill is not to our liking? It is a start...as more people see the benefits, the greater will be the base for those who want to go to a single-payer, universal system.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
