Is the Obama Admin Caving? ... or is it the media trying to squash this?
So I go away for a week, come home to hear that President Obama and his administration all had spine replacement surgery and evidently .... they used jello for the new spines?

I need an update because what I'm reading is unclear. First I read that, yes, he's caving and nobody cna figure out why because the Dems don't need the Repubs to pass this damn thing!

Then I read that this is not true and that Pres. Obama is still out selling the PO.

So what's the real deal? What gives?

2. The media is definitely doing everything it can to derail anything resembling a public option. nt.

3. Somewhere between Saturday night
and Sunday morning the Wurlitzer started going strong. Here's my .02 about what happened, but there are plenty of other opinions about what's going on.

4. "whether the public option is in the plan or not" seems to have upset some folks.
