ANTHONY WEINER makes the argument the President should be making.

If you missed him on Hardball, try to catch the replay ~ he lays out the truth of the situation beautifully.

He gets kudos from me!

Especially good with Tweety constantly talking over him and interrupting him.

The President can help with the pressure, but Congress is ultimately responsible.

He's making a great case ~ hopefully his colleagues are listening.

It was mentioned that he made an appearance on Morning Joe and gave JS a really difficult time. I no longer watch the show and wonder if anyone here caught it.

He specifically mentioned the public option was the compromise for not getting single payer and discussed the profit debate. That is key for me -- not for profit health care.

Some who are embracing the exchange portion say that is truly the most important plank because a participant can negotiate between providers. But all of these providers will have stock holders, and a portion of everyone's premium will still go to that layer which really provides nothing of value to the doctor or the patient. I think the number I have read is that 30 cents on every dollar goes to that layer.

I hope to see more and more of Anthony Weiner stepping out and telling it like it is.

...for those who don't want to watch tweety?

He really didn't let Tweety talk over him at all.

Weiner is a true progressive. He thinks we need public option for cost containment. (He may prefer single payer, but I didn't catch the whole interview.)
