No "line in the sand" for the public option
Instead we will have choice and it will be a bi-partisan choice. What do you think that will be? How does Robert Gibbs stand there and basically announce a major betrayal of the American people. Watching him answer straightforward questions with B.S. is embarrassing. He is making Dana look good.

I really want to thank the Progressives in Congress for standing up for us.

And a big thanks to the nice person who gave me a star. Hopefully when my case is settled I will be able to pay it foward.

1. Robert Gibbs is a disappointment to me lately.
More important, it seems as if our Executive Branch is totally off-message by this INSANE need to appease conservatives (both parties).

They're either tone death or believe that the average hard working slave-wage American is stupid.

I hope and pray that it's the former and the WH gets their act together by STRONGLY PUSHING THE PUBLIC OPTION.

2. They really just dont get it
To most voters the slogan "Change" in the election meant we thought we were electing someone who would fight the Republicans who had screwed up our country.

We didnt elect someone to negotiate away those values most important to Obama's base.
