15. I do say he should be more pointed about the JUNK plans, but he also should have been more nuanced

in his statements in 09 and that is just the truth. He has to own that. He did not lie by any means, but he also should have been clearer. So he has a fine line to walk here. And you see that Bernie basically agreed that he did what he had to do politically and said he should have been more nuanced in his stump speeches. But then Bernie PIVOTS to the narrative about this being JUNK insurance. Bernie is GREAT.

Now what we need to do is talk about "JUNK PLANS" and. as the grassroots. call out the insurance industry on this. Obama has done said it too, but just isn't being real forceful on it. Other Dems and the grassroots need to step up and do that because Obama does have to be the President of everyone including those in that individual market who are getting screwed over by the insurance companies.
