FAR too little, FAR too late.
The really sad thing is that Obama could have gotten a strong health care reform plan with a strong public option passed if he would have used the full power of his office to lead a campaign to rally public support for it and put inexolerable pressure on Congress to pass it.
Instead he wasted his time, resources, and prestige trying to craft a bipartisan plan with the Republicans while the Republicans, who have no interest in such a plan, along with their corporate masters, engaged in a campaign of distortions, misrepresentations, and lies against it. As a result, he lost control of the debate, which is a fatal loss. Hopefully Obama has finally cought on to what is happening and is ready to change strategy; we will see whether this is the case with his speech and the actions of his administration afterward, but even then it may be too late.
Harry don't get it. We will send his type home the next election.
Heloooo
And the sun rises in the East
Exciting news
Screw the Red's. Too bad Harry lacks the Testicular Fortitude to do the right thing and bulldoze this thing through both houses per the Presidents request, just like the Repub's used to with Bush.
