(4,876 posts)Obama: " Im a Democrat. But I believe what Republican Abraham Lincoln believed: That Government should do for people only what they cannot do better by themselves, and no more. Thats why my education reform offers more competition, and more control for schools and States. Thats why were getting rid of regulations that dont work. Thats why our health care law relies on a reformed private market, not a Government program."
Now call me crazy but that does not sound like a man that really supported any public health care option. It does not sound like a man who had to compromise because of Republicans, it sounds like a man who thinks that a government run health care program is a bad thing.
Yes I'm still voting for the man, but it's getting tiring having to sort out who he actually is.
