32. Some things you need to know about "The Obama Administration".

"President Obama told the committee chairman, George Miller, to oppose Kucinich's amendment, and he did so, leading off the voting with a resounding "No."

This is the amendment that would allow states to start their own single payer systems.
Obama and the Blue Dogs were unsuccessful at stripping out the Kucinich Amendment in this committee.
They had to go behind closed doors and have Nancy Pelosi personally strip out this amendment.

You DO see which team Obama is playing on?
