But not because a majority of people are afraid that the reform will lead to mandatory insurance or higher taxes, nope, that's not it at all. This healthcare reform bill is a nightmare for Obama because it is a watered down peice of crap. There is no public option in it. Obama and the Dems tried so hard to play bipartisan politics that the bill that was produced was light on reform and heavy of Republican appeasement. The insurance lobby squeezed and Obama popped.<br /><br />Obama blew healthcare reform, not because it cheesed off the right, but because he abandoned his most ardent supporters on the left.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08899045484063901487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7462211970946499736.post-41718384677390114832010-01-17T13:51:02.865-04:002010-01-17T13:51:02.865-04:00Michael, first, thank you so much for your post.

Democrats) to find no problem with that. Stunning. Truly stunning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
