Sorry, Mr. President, not good enough.
Sure, you trot Gibbs out to say you "believe the public option is the best way."

Nope. Not good enough.

Until President Obama says, on camera, at a time when I am watching television,"I will fight to the death for public option, and if I don't get it I will cut off both my arms with chainsaws and mail the grisled remains to Democratic Underground to auction off as part of a fund-raiser,"

...he's clearly against the public option, sunshine, puppies and chocolate.

And unless this happens, I will never vote again.

Especially not this week.

Series.

Elevens.

3. Nobody has accused him of not believing that.
People are so easily mollified, it's ridiculously pathetic.


You can believe it's the best way to achieve those goals and still accept something less.

Over and over again people get spun the exact same way.

8. I don't particularly care what he believes. I'm interested in what he'll demand and/or accept.
Edited on Sun Aug-16-09 07:36 PM by Mojambo
As he has said himself, the buck stops with him.

25.  Obama said at a healthcare forum in Colorado that "the public option,
whether we have it or don't have it, is not the entirety of healthcare reform."

16. Nice post, dingbat.
I'll give the President the benefit of the doubt, up until the moment a bill reaches his desk.

If it's a shit bill (i.e. anything less than a public option) and he vetoes it, and tells them to get it right, then I'll know he's on our side.

If it's a shit bill and he signs it, then he takes ownership of the fraud and failure.

17. IT"S A LIE!
Once he's chopped the first arm off.... how would he hold the chainsaw to cut off the other one? It's just more triangulating.

21. I guess it wouldn't be good enough...
Edited on Sun Aug-16-09 08:28 PM by butterfly77
considering WE DON'T HAVE A BILL YET! Plus we have weak-assed,scary-assed Dems, and RepubliCONS who are portraying themselves as Dems.

Plus the fact that, they still will be shuffling their ideas back and forth from the house to the senate and RepubliCONS are placing amendments after amendments in these bills, and most of the people who are screaming the most DON'T KNOW WHAT IN THE HELL THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT!!!!!!!!!!!

These are some of the same damn people who will crying their asses off if it doesn't pass and sooner or later they will lose their jobs,benefits or the insurance they now have.
