How About If Obama Caves Into Public Opinion?

[Dinger]

C'mon, think about it. Just a thought. . . .

[Skittles]

1. that would mean they'd be working for We The People

cannot have that, can they?

[gateley]

2. Fine by me! nt

[ShortnFiery]

3. He won't because we don't have the MONEY or POWER to make him care. eom

[ProSense]

4. There is a non-profit plan in the bill, but what if he caves and puts state single payer in

Oh wait...

[obxhead]

5. Caves to whom exactly?

[ProSense]

9. Give it time,

it's a developing meme: Obama made a deal to kill the public option, but they (?) forced him to accept it and he caved to them (?) and was unable to veto it to preserve the deal because then it would prove he's a sellout.

Plausible?

[obxhead]

12. Plausile how?

Thanks for your reply, but the mystery (?) didn't quite answer my question, or at least I don't quite understand your answer.

[jillan]

7. If he did - I bet his approval rating would SOAR!

[Clio the Leo]

8. How about Obama doesn't have a vote?

...... ah.

Why do I even try?

[Jennicut]

11. Or doesn't have THE votes.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

15. Move-on says its polling showed 83% support for saying YES on the HCR bills.

So don't think the most vociferous DUers represent a large fraction of Americans.

17. Planned Parenthood supports the Health care legislation.

President Obama’s health care reform proposal would make a real difference for the women and families who rely on Planned Parenthood. It would extend health care coverage to tens of millions of Americans; guarantee access to affordable preventive screenings for cancer and other life-saving tests; protect women against gender discrimination by private insurers; end the practice of dropping coverage because of pre-existing conditions; and significantly increase access to reproductive health care.
