I've watched the campaign videos on YouTube, and I believe Obama had a public option in mind.

It isn't just health care. He's disappointed in other areas, well documented all over DU, as well.

I do believe there may develop a legion of newly-radicalized people. There may be many like me who looked to Obama to end the policies of the Bush/Cheney Error, as well as to repair the damage that's been accumulating since 1980. I don't think it's reasonable to expect a lot in just 11 months, but we don't even seem to be on the right track.

I hope all of the people complaining ABOUT President Obama are also complaining TO President Obama. It isn't fair to hold him accountable in 2012 without letting him hear from us. He works in a system corrupted by power and money, and he may have only temporarily lost touch with the people.
