100. He did not campaign on one, but did support the idea after he was elected.
These folks are convinced that he campaigned on one thing and then sold us down the river when he was elected. But he actually campaigned on what was passed, except that he was against the mandate. A very weak unenforceable mandate was passed and they are all in uproar over it.

I'm sorry but getting on board with the public option after he was elected and then not being able to get passed is not the betrayal they are trying to gin up.

I wouldn't even argue with them over this.
