Obamacare is not the solution. Where is the Public Option? In fact Obamacare, as ACA is known as, actually makes it harder to fix the real health care problems in this country. Do you even know the history of where that health care plan came from? ACA is brilliant - for whom? The health insurance companies, because they wrote most of it.
Why is the United States the ONLY industrialized nation to not have some form of Single Payer, Universal Health Care.
I don't hate Obama. But I am apparently more rational than you, at least on these subjects. As someone else on this thread stated, Obama does not have to be all that good to exceed the low threshold of his predecessor. If Obama had been anywhere near as good as his campaign rhetoric, then I'd be much more enthusiastic about him. As it is, with all his caving to the Republicans and appointing Republicans, continuing most of bu$h politices, etc., leaves me less than enthusiastic about him. Where is his Bully Pulpit? Being better than his predecessor is not good enough in this case.
