What's this I hear, Mr. President?

I heard the other day that you personally prefer a public option?

What is going on?

Why in God's good name are you not pushing this?

You have the bully pulpit!

Get behind this idea, and let us hear you!

If you had done this, then perhaps we would have had a chance to see it happen!

I am disheartened that you haven't pushed the Congress on this topic...

Please......while there's still time...

Do it. For us.

7. Yes, can't happen now!

4 out of 5 committee bills include a public option, as well as the House bill. Obviously, its life or death for the PO.

8. "while there is still time" is the key. But time is short as $ is flowing

from the insurance companies and the right is taking the taking the lead.

9. why is it everyone presumes to know what he is or isn't doing?

Edited on Mon Oct-05-09 08:25 AM by dionysus

no one here can presume to know what he's doing or sayign when he's not on camera. and if you expect him to start teeing off on dems in the press, well that's just a shitty idea.
