Reply #175: It is not impossible for him to fight for it tooth and nail. He has not done that.

He began this by taking single payer off the table in the primaries. His first steps in this process were having the insurers over to the White House and fighting to keep the logs secret. (Ya, ya, I know. HE wasn't fighting; the Secret Service overruled him. Need a bridge?)

He refused, however, to meet with a group of doctors who wanted single payer. And he has always left the door wide open for a bill without a meaningful public option.

Hint: "I favor a public option, but I will sign a bill that does not have one" is not fighting for a public option. Neither is "What my friends on the left need to understand is that the public option is only a detail" (Or words to that effect.)

Fight for something as hard as you can. If you fail, then tell me it's not possible.

BTW, EVERYone here understands what "impossible" means, so save your condescension.
