Right. Can you honestly say that you are not slightly bummed by Obama's performance in general? Even I thought he'd be a more impressive President. Blame the Republicans alll you wan't, but what did you think was going to happen when he tried to get the policies of the left put in to place? Were we supposed to roll over and like it?
You honestly think that the public option is reasonable and non-partisan? Or what about the reports that the option itself is holding health care reform hostage? "There will be no reform without a public option". BS. They have helped alienate themselves on the issue, take it or leave it. Of course the government will have to subsidize those who are unwilling or unable to pay for their own health care, but a public system is a new entitlement.
Republicans are just another opposition party. You villify them all you wan't, but the emotional arguement that "Republicans are bad and Democrats are your friends" is running out of juice. We want to get back to negotiating ground and we will. It is hard to do that currently so we need to get there through attrition.
