Is the pres really caving on a public option, or is the msm spinning

this up, or is he going to come back strong and get this done after all?

1. It's Just Spin

Please don't fall for it. Remember that division and confusion are their only weapons.

5. Well, Obama himself hasn't spoken yet

So I'd say everything is up in the air.

6. The President has not made a definitive statement on this issue recently.

But Rahm says he is aware that there are not enough votes in the Senate to pass a public option, yet the President intends to keep working for "health insurance reform." If the President's still pushing for it, knowing full well the Senate will not pass a public option, then it seems logical to conclude that ...

The President has abandoned the public option.

I hope, of course, that I am wrong about this.

8. Worth noting Obama spent the last week explaining the public option at town halls

He was doing that on Saturday in Colorado as well.
