2. I am not sure what's going on here today. Not sure why people are panicking.
By now, we ought to know how the Pukes and MSM operate. Until I hear from Obama that a public option is out of the picture, I'm cool.

7. Exactly! It didn't make sense that on Fri. he stands strong for a PO
and then Sunday, he doesn't?

The panic on DU was almost palpable.

3. The first comment is correct, hard to decide whether to believe Gibbs or Drudge.

4. I seriously have to stop watching the news.
One Admin. member says something that isn't the truth, and the next day there's a media storm of "Healthcare Bill Won't Include Public Option"

6. "Still Backs" is not equivalent to
"Will Veto Bill That Lacks"

8. "Under no circumstances is he talking about government-sponsored health care, Obama said."
"Questioners twice pressed Obama on the public option, citing doubts that a government-backed plan would not drive private insurers out of business.

Under no circumstances is he talking about government-sponsored health care, Obama said.

“Nobody is talking about the government takeover of health care,” Obama said."

He needs to explain that more. The public option IS a government run option.

9. Will he veto a bill that
does not have a public option that is open to anyone who wants that choice? That's what I would like to hear.
