re: #220 Buck

Good point EXCEPT that it is Obama himself, and his supporters that stressed that HE WOULD act differently than his predecessors.

We knew that he wouldn’t, but I don’t think it is disingenuous to point that out.

What are you talking about? The man ran on a platform of reforming healthcare by including a public option. He is doing exactly what he said he was going to do. The entire battle between Hillary and Obama in the primaries was regarding whose healthcare plan was truly universal. You can’t say he’s all of a sudden pulling a fast one by trying to get healthcare reform passed. It was a cornerstone of his fucking campaign.
