You ask for single-payer if you want a public option. Obama shut out single-payer, lessenig the chance of getting a public option.
He never used the bully pulpit to rally people about the public option.
When Grassley and others were flat out lying about death panels and whatever else Obama was not heard coming out strongly and saying they were not telling the truth. We all saw what happened. You can't rewrite history.
Please defend his secret meetings with big pharma. Why did he lie to us about them? Huh? Is that really okay with you? You think that was him fighting to get a public option.
You are living in la-la-land. You can't see the truth because you simply can't believe that Obama isn't perfect. How sad. The apologists are ruining this country. It's because of people like you that the Dem Party keeps moving to the right. It's really sad to see so many on a Dem board gushing over someone who is a self-proclaimed moderate Republican. We really need a third party that will stand for what the Dem Party used to stand for, before it became so corporate.
