CBS, on the Early Show news breaks, conintues to report that the public option is going away

They don't mention Sibelious's "misspeak". They attribute the concept (yes to co-op/no to public option) to Obama.

I guess they "didn't get the memo" from Gibbs.

Crap to try and shut us up.

Every network is reporting the demise of the public option this morning.

Every last one of them.

want nothing more than a controversy even if they have to make it themselves.

You might as well watch Rush or Beck and believe them.

I do recall a part of the stimulus package that partially paid the COBRA premiums for the laid-off, all it did was funnel money into the gaping maw of the insurance companies.

All we're going to get is a mandate for everyone to buy health insurance, with a bit of subsidy for people with children who don't have enough to buy it on their own. You'll probably see another five or six percent taken out of your paycheck, unless you have a passel of kids.

And it wasn't even funny.

I think Obama is still wanting & pushing for a public option. BUT, he is wanting/needing the PUBLIC (us) to get involved and make it happen.

Everyone forgets that it will take the Congress to have a bill presented to the President. Obama can push, plead, beg, threatened, etc., but if a bill is not passed in Congress he can do nothing.

WE ned to take action. WE have to drown out the wackos on the right. WE have to challenge the media to tell the truth. WE have to be the change. It can't all rest on Obama's shoulders while we sit back and whine and moan and blame Obama for not giving us the changes we want.

That's not how it works. YOU ALL KNOW THIS! SO - get busy, get engaged, let Congress (both Rep & Dem) know what the consequences are for failing to support Obama's agenda (OUR agenda).

POWER is in our hands if we stand up & take it!

No one person in the white house can wave a wand and make things happen.

It is the decision of the Democrats.
