34. And calling crazy those who thought a Dem Pres. would pass legislation for the left - not for the RW
Olberman said it right: Obama comes into every fight starting at center-right. Like healthcare, he removed single payer before the bill was drafted, instead of using it as a bargaining chip to get the public option that we should have ended up with. Remember that the house passed their bill with a public option in it. The Senate dropped it. Why?

Just one of many examples.
