Reply #47: I wanted to see a President come in that would make hay of his policitcal capital [View All]

After all, Obama came in with 62% of the vote. At a point intime when it would have been easy to overthrow the Corproate Masters, as they were the ones who had brought about the Economic Panic of 2008. And seventy six per cent of all of us want Universal Single Payer Health Care.

And I wanted those that we put in office back in Novemnber 2006 to do the same.

But since neither Obama nor Pelosi are big fans of the only meaningful reform out there - Single Payer Universal Health Care, I am at my wits' end.

Taibbi spells it out very plainly:

Obama wasn't the only big Democrat to mysteriously abandon his position on single-payer. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Henry Waxman, the influential chair of the House commerce committee, have both backed away from their longtime support of single-payer. Hell, even Max-freaking-Baucus once conceded the logic of single-payer, saying only that it isn't feasible politically. "There may come a time when we can push for single-payer," he said in February. "At this time, it's not going to get to first base in Congress."

Taibbi seems to indicate only a big huge revolt on the part of those who want our country back will mean anything. But how would that work? Especially given that the media doesn't cover our revolts - jsut the RW num nuts crowd and their revolts.
