You don’t want it to seem like your constant criticism of Obama from the left is for the mere pursuit of a market niche, instead of a pursuit for the truth. Plus, what will be your stance once the White House’s noble but naive attempt at token bipartisanship fails and they revert to what was always the real plan, passing a public option through reconciliation?

Speaking for myself, I criticize Obama because his actions prove that he doesn’t mean anything he says in his pretty speeches and his actions demonstrate no respect for people, the Constitution, and the Rule of Law. I don’t respect anyone who makes secret backdoor deals and then tries to lose to cover-up those deals.

He is anything but noble. He’s a total disaster and I can back-up everything I say.

“I used to be in relatively good health. Then, I learned that someone I supported for President, who while running for office promised unalloyed support for a robust public option, now evaded and avoided delivering on that promise when he had the chance. I learned that his chief of staff had sold the American Public down the road in a behind the scenes backroom deal with Big Medicine, PhRMA, and AHIP. The last straw was when both of them had the chance to require a certain Majority leader to force an up-or-down vote the way Bush and Cheney always did – and the BLEW that chance!

Now I am a Sick, Sick Man, and my insurance company won’t cover my illness. They say relying to my detriment on the Promises of Slick Politicians is a pre-existing condition, one that is entirely my own fault. Coverage Denied!

The ONLY hope for me is a reform bill with a ROBUST PUBLIC OPTION, with NO triggers, NO opt outs, and NO co-ops!

Please, Madame Secretary – can you help me?”

The “strong fighter” leads, inspires people, gets them to join the fight. [This is how Obama portrayed himself during the campaign, fooling millions, including moi.]

The “bi-partisan weenie” operates behind closed doors, satisfying no one except those with whom he made the whispered deals.

I agree 100%, especially about this ‘bipartisan’ bs.

What did we lose – in terms of getting real health care reform, as well as in terms of our Democratic leaders appearing weak and morally bankrupt – in exchange for Snowe’s committee vote, which wasn’t even needed to get that garbage out of committee?

“Roll over, Harry Boy! Beg, Harry Boy! Good dog, Harry…”
