President Obama HATES the Public Option, that has become clear over the past 24 hours.
If you caught Gibbs with the eminent journalist, Mr. George Stephanopoulos...

Or Axelrod this morning on MTP with, oh my God he's so articulate and awesome, Mr. David Gregory...

You would KNOW that the president is having an historic address to a joint session of Congress to publicly and officially SLAM the public option.

Because if he was going to make a clear and historic statement on this matter this to the attention of millions of eager Americans...

The FIRST thing he would do would be to let his subordinates give it up to Stephanopoulos and Gregory in an interview days in advance.

1. Why is the AP reporting this?: Bottom line on public insurance plan gets blurry
Bottom line on public insurance plan gets blurry

By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON – The Obama administration's bottom line on a government health insurance option blurred Sunday as White House officials stressed support but stopped short of calling it a must-have part of an overhaul.

As President Barack Obama prepares for a Wednesday night speech to Congress in a risky bid to salvage his top domestic priority, no other issue is so highly charged. Obama's liberal supporters consider the proposal for a public plan to compete with private insurers do-or-die. Republicans say it's unacceptable. It's doubtful the public plan can pass the Senate.

White House political adviser David Axelrod said Obama is "not walking away" from a public plan. But asked if the president would veto a bill that came to him without the option, Axelrod declined to answer.

2. Because the AP is part of the MediaWhoreConglomerate.
And, I think the OP made it clear why "Axelrod declined to answer".

4. Didn't Obama come out in opposition to restoring Fairness Doctrine?
So I don't want to hear any of you megaphones complain about the MediaWhoreConglomerate that Obama has chosen to protect.

13. Is that the same
AP who tried to tear Clinton and Obama down during the primaries then tried tearing Obama down in the run up to the election against McCain?

Suddenly now we're supposed to start believing the shit they spew? Sorry, they showed their true colors to me and they're not fucking better then Glenn Beck and the other idiots on FUX Snooze.

5. I'm so glad there are
people on this board who can think beyond what the corporatemediawhores say and have a clue as to the inner workings of the Obama Admin. No need to be a spidey on the wall.. All you need is their history to figure it out.

Oh, and to not think they're liars just because bush+cheney are liars.
