Gibbs Stands By His 'Professional Left' Critique, Expects Liberals To Vote In 2010

Are you capable of discussing issues, or do you just lob off insults and opinions you've formed based on no apparent facts, just wishful thinking?



The week before & the week after the healthcare bill (or, more accurately, 'The Insurance & Pharmaceutical Industries Windfall Act') passed in the Senate was the one & only time a public option had any chance of happening until another generation passes.



A group of senators had mobilized behind it since the bill had to be passed through reconciliation anyway, & there was no way that Democrats weren't going to get enough of its members to vote against it just because it had a public option in it.



Obama nixxed it.



The excuse was that if the Senate did that, the bill would have to go back to the House for a vote & "There's no time!"



After the (allegedly) pro-public option senators accepted that excuse & stood down, 2 flaws were discovered with the bill requiring it going back to the House anyway. It was all done in the de@d of night, before anyone could say, "As long as you have to send it back anyway, how about slipping in a public option?"
