Why would I object to a public option? One of the reasons I voted for Obama was that he promised that everyone would have that option. Oops!

Here's another clue: If he'd campaigned on guaranteeing Big Insurance 320 million paying customers, and on signing TPP (NAFTA on steroids), and profitizing public schools, and letting the entire Bush Crime Family walk away free, and recommending tolls to use the interstate highway system, and keeping Gitmo open, and enacting "spy on everyone", Decision 2008 might have turned out differently. Now the Dem candidate in 2016 is going to have to fight off his legacy of populist rhetoric followed by a corporatist agenda.
