President Obama's health care bill will be posted online on Feb. 22, will it have a Public Option?

[Change Happens]

How will the WH handle the surge in the number of Senators signing onto the Bennet Letter asking Reid to pass a PO through reconciliation?

Any ideas? thoughts? bets?

Speaking of bets, I am taking bets on the likelihood of the Republican leadership walking out on President Obama during the health care summit!

1. I hope they walk out as soon as it is gaveled to an opening...

Then maybe something worthwhile can be accomplished.

2. ROFL...So true!

3. There Will Be No Public Option

Obama has chosen a path, and created an inner circle composed of a certain quality of people. There will be no change.

4. But I voted for change? WTF?

5. Should we start opining how mad we will be if it ain't there?

is this the purpose of your OP?
You want us pissed now for something
that may or may not happen later?

I think we are pissed enough as it is,
and I don't think we need to be pushed
at being pissed some more about the future.

How about that?

6. Noooooooo, Let's not get pissed...Chill.

I am wondering what they think of the senators moving it in that direction at this time...By Feb. 25, we may have over 40 senators supporting it, but not the WH, then what?

But, I will not at all be surprised if the President comes out for it! Uses the summit to lay it all out on Tee Vee, arguing that the single most effective way to lower cost is the PO.

Am I too optimistic? maybe. But this is the kind of thing I expect out of this President!

Stay tuned!

7. Keep wondering......and making shit up as you go......till you get there

That's always helpful!

You know what I'm wondering?
If Republicans will come to the Summit smelling like shit wearing diapers,
or just smelling like shit sans diapers.

Let's talk about that.

8. What Shit Did "Change Happens" Make Up?

Specifics appreciated.

9. Nailed it.

Curious one, this OP. I have my suspicions.

10. What's Your Thinking?

Will Obama's plan include the public option he promised, but now claoms he never promised?

12. Hello?

Anyone out there?

11. If there is no public option I will consider it a theft of my vote.

What else can I think?
