At this point it appears to me that the Democrats have learned well from the Republicans how to form a circular firing squad. Both parties have serious credibility problems with the American people. The only thing that they both focus their full attention upon is getting re-elected.

It was as sick a display of public corruption as I’ve seen in a long time.

The doughnut hole is a serious issue for millions of Americans. I remember my late father’s worrying about it when he entered the doughnut hole & going over the numbers with him. After Part D passed, the pharma companies significantly raised the prices of the drugs he was taking. I would love to see any administration force the pharma companies to sacrifice some profit, or even to get them to stop advertising on tv. But I won’t hold my breath.

My guess is they may have been joined by Lincoln and Conrad, who initially “passed”, if the vote looked like it were closer.

I like how the media trumped this up constantly especially MSNBC which made it seem like hollow ground, while a few print media types tried to keep the rhetoric grounded in reality.

Its hopeless, we’ll get watered down reform and be on the hook for the cost. We aren’t marching in the streets because its hard to get excited about a compromise position such as the “Public Option”, “Robust” or “Weak”.

I get tired of hearing -

“Fixing Health Care is complex because its 1/6th of the US Economy”

John Berwick – Political Correspondent from DW-TV stated that the EU is coming to the G20 summit with both barrels loaded, but seems UK is reluctant to do anything (Sound familiar?). He continued to say that “When the Financial Sector is 40% of the US Economy, who wants to be the one that clips the wings of the Goose that lays the Golden Eggs??”

I’ve try to understand it, I can’t anymore, it just flat makes no sense at all.
