21. Nope... Amy Goodman's got him trapped on tape advocating single payer back...

...before he was a US senator. Too bad he started hanging around with assholes like Lieberman, Reid and Clinton instead of Senator Bernie.

Here's the Democracy Now segment found on Youtube where, as a state senator, he's all for single-payer. That's followed by a marvelous tap dancing routine by US senator and presidential candidate Obama from last year's endless campaign.

I think his recent speeches and actions as president speak for themselves regarding his new-found distaste for a humanist-oriented health care system that necessitates, by definition, telling the insurers to go to hell.

Unlikely in the extreme since these very sugar daddies have greased his palms so deeply that he lost sight of his heart line under all that lard.

I mean... a combined $38.6 million from the financial services, insurance and real estate industries. Another $43.4 million from lawyers and lobbyists? And that $37 million from "misc. business?"

Thank gawd for that $513,693 from labor to balance things out.

I've lost track - did Obama campaign for POTUS on single-payer?	BlooInBloo	Jul-20-09 01:13 PM	#1
