I keep thinking about the 9/11 Commission, and how it was set up NOT to actually investigate 9/11, and the similar mission Obama has had in perpetuating the status quo in Washington while insisting he's a CHANGE character. Among other requirements, each and every member of the 9/11 Commission had to agree (or else they didn't get on the commission) to the commission's issuing one and only report (no dissenting opinions) that would include only that which all members could agree on.
That guaranteed that whatever was reported out of the Commission would be worthless, and the die for it all was cast before the Commission ever commenced.
The same result is pretty much what Obama's entering office hellbent on "bipartisanship" (instead of achieving Democratic policies and Democratic legislation which had been promised through the campaign) guaranteed.
For example, Obama's healthcare legislation. The process got gamed before it got started. Obama took single payer universal health care, aka Medicare For All, out of consideration before negotiations even started. Because if affordable quality medical care for all is your goal, you want to take the most effective, least expensive method for doing it off the table -- Everything else pales next to single payer. Democrats in both Houses in Congress and the White House spun 'health care reform' as 'requiring everybody to have insurance'. Insurance isn't medical care. And that's not what Americans voted for in 2008 (not to mention that Obama specifically ran on and won on a pledge of "no mandates").
