was and still is a sore spot with folks like me in the Democratic party. He was not nearly as worked up about Republican obstructionism on EVERYTHING that Democrats are trying to do, big and small.

He keeps minimizing how important it is for the U.S. to have a Public Option. As if minimizing it makes it so.

3. It's because Obama knows Americans want a government run health insurance system, and he knows his
corporate backers are against the idea. so of course he's sensitive about it. He knows he's in the wrong.

6. Why it was Obama's hand picked man in the Senate, Max Baucus
who put the Public Option right there in his health care white paper outlining what was on the table for health care reform. The public option was their bargaining chip. The plan was to prop up the criminal insurance industry all along. Which is what they did.
