149. " Coziness with Medicine Incorporated"
Edited on Sat Jan-03-09 09:41 PM by depakid
During the massive Portland rally, several times on stage he made bold statements and drew huge cheers about UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE -though that's not at all what he was (or looks to be) proposing.

That struck me as sort of sad- because he could easily have been honest and said affordable health care and drawn just as much applause.

Even so, all politicians who want to win pander to some extent- especially when they're campaigning.

So it's best to wait & see how he handles the issues when it comes down to policy making and implementation, before determining how much of a pander bear he is. My guess is that he won't come close to Bill Clinton in that regard!
