White House still "blurry" on its position on public option

Who is running the show anyhow? Time for Obama to have a come to Jesus meeting and get all these "sources" on one page!

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama is getting no shortage of advice on what to say in his health care speech to Congress, and much of it conflicts.

Liberals want him to issue a call to action in his Wednesday address, clear and bold. Conservatives hope he'll back away from his push for sweeping changes this year and break health care legislation into smaller pieces. Everyone is hungry for specifics about Obama's stand on major elements of the package.

The biggest challenge he faces is taking ownership of legislation that until now has been shaped by political conflicts in Congress. Lawmakers return this week from a summer break that saw contentious forums on the issue in their districts and eroding public support for an overhaul. snip

On at least one high-profile controversy, there was little clarity from the Obama administration Sunday. The president's bottom line on a government health insurance option remained blurry as White House officials stressed support but stopped of short of calling it a must-have.

2. Ha "concern". Make sure to unrecommend, too. Can't afford any dialogue now.

What a tilt-a-whirl I signed up for here.

3. Ahhhh...you're a cute newbie, welcome to DU and all that. BTW, your post is short on reality.

4. Nobody knows the reality, which is why I am not letting up on letting my voice be heard.

I refuse to "wait" without telling the White House what is important to me until they unequivocally take a stand that the public option will stand.

Cute enough?

5. Stick around sunshine, I think you'll fine plenty of lessons in reality.

7. Hopefully on Wednesday President Obama tells us that we

have a right to affordable health care. The same affordable healthcare he and other Americans in Congress have access to. Hit us a homerun Mr. President.
