With the events of last summer and how pessimistic I was feeling last summer about Obama's prospects for winning the election and the dramatic turnaround (which I'm pretty sure was NOT merely fortuitous circumstances and/or luck) that followed culminating in his historic election, I have learned NOT to underestimate Obama- and neither should anybody else.
Obama's NOT "battered", NOT a victim, and NOT at the mercy and/or under the yoke or thumb of the GOP nor the insurance companies and while he has made and may yet make some concessions to the GOP and/or insurance companies to help get what he wants in the end, for all the advocacy he has done on behalf the PO, I honestly don't believe that it will merely be negotiated away and/or given up. He is NOT going to sign a bill that McCain, Romney, or any other Republican might as well have signed and the bill he signs certainly won't just be a SOP to the insurance industries and, frankly, it's quite amazing that some people are cynical enough to believe that Obama has folded or will fold like a cheap suit and that any legislation short of SP is just going to be a sop to the insurance companies.
