Reply #81: The bit about separation of powers would be believable, but Obama [View All]

[JDPriestly]

could have used the promise of Democratic Party funding for the 2010 election to swing the votes of conservative hold-outs for a better, cheaper health insurance reform -- for single payer or non-profit insurance providers.

There is no excuse for his cop-out to the insurance companies. He had a Democratic majority. He just did not discipline it. I have always been impressed with the conduct of Obama's children. But somehow, I doubt that their obvious sense of self-discipline was fostered by Obama. Rather I think that Michelle is the one with the gumption, the standards, the one who set the example of a disciplined adult for her children.

Obama seems to sway with the wind.

The symbol for Democrats is the donkey, an animal known for its stubbornness. Obama is not stubborn and no Democrat.
