If it is dead, it is dead.

A vote on it won't make it any more or less dead.

Wall Street Shifting Political Contributions to Repubicans

I ask myself, when will Democrats learn that the best way to win elections is to not pander to lobbyists who go whichever way the money opportunity blows, but to the American Public, with things, like, you know, implementing a TRUE PUBLIC option.

The One never thought he'd be questioned or found out as the adoration meter was still on high.

These clumsy Chicago political thugs were sure the love was so great, Obama could do it all. This way, his re-election money was insured and as a bonus Obama bargained for no opposition advertising from the monopolies.  

Then the games could begin. Mr Precious merely had to act presidential and throw the HC bill to Congress.  This would work. He'd stay out of it and let congress duke it out. Public passion against this shambles of a sellout? Who'd have thought there was anything but passion for Obama?

But now we see this atrocious mess and the sham lack of leadership and the dealmaking that went into it. Today was another show trial.

Team Obama never thought the simple folk would show such passion against this bill because it would have seemed an attack on the adored Obama.
But they were wrong.  We see the sellout and the failed strategy along with an out of control congress.

Why, would you believe it, even women were unhappy with Stupak and Nelson chipping away at women's rights. Can you imagine?

It was hard to figure out today if Obama was playing Moderator on PBS, or Senator 101. He needed some charm when addressing McCain, for sure.
