Obama Tells Republicans Nice Try On Push For Health Care Records

It's irrelevant what Republican­s want.  They are scvm, we're agreed, but Democrats aren't any better.

You're mistaking words for action.  I don't give a chit what politician­s say; the proof is in the pudding.  The proof is what they use actually mean, and we invariably learn what their words meant when we see how the legislatio­n actually works.  With Obama's healthcare legislatio­n, we're going to see it years from now.   And we're not going to see a public option or anything that's going to keep costs down.

We already would have had a public option had it not been for Obama and the DLC-contro­lled Democrats in Congress.  

The week before and the week after the healthcare bill passed in the Senate was the one and only time a public option had any chance of happening until at least another generation passes.

A group of senators had mobilized behind it since the bill had to be passed through reconcilia­tion anyway, and 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 and "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's return to the House anyway. It was all done in the ded of night, before anyone could say, "As long as you have to send it back anyway, how about slipping in a public option?"

Obama's not only not for any kind of universal public health care, he'll do everything within his power to prevent it as long as he's in the White House. Because that was the deal that he made.
