133. So, all these months Obama's been telling Congress and the country that this absolutely
HAD be done before the break, he was counting on the town meetings during the break? Hmmmmm.

And, as soon as we hear that the Democrats in Congress decided to go it alone, we leap to the conclusion that their decision is the result of Obama alone?

Not the voters calling and emailing and threatening never to vote Democratic again without a strong public option?

Not the Progressive Caucus letter?

Not "leftist" lawmakers taking a pledge not to vote for anything without a strong public option?

Not the AFL-CIO threatening to keep its membership home on election day?

Not the members of the House and the Senate worrying about their own re-election after their constituents hammered them?

Not Shultz, Keith, Maddow and Dean hammering on this literally every day?

None of that, just good ole bi-partisanship Obama by his little ole bi-partisanship self?




mmmmm The Kool Aid is strong in these, it is. mmmmm
