11. Glad to hear Ed Schultz talking about that too.
It isn't the Blue Dogs that got President Obama elected.
If anything, some Blue Dogs owe the President and Rahm some loyalty for getting them elected instead of more progressive democrats in their primaries.
Sure, the President was ill advised to start the discussion with the best plan off the table. The Blue Dogs would have had an easier time of things arguing for a public option that was an expansion of Medicare which is already popular, and is a mix between public and private systems.
