Whats going on at the White House? Who is in Charge? No Who is on First ! This morning it certainly looked as if President Obama was backing away from the "Public Option, when the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Kathleen Sebilius said:
...Sebelius said the US Senate was proposing non-profit insurance cooperatives instead of government insurance, and suggested the administration might accept that.
"I think what's important is choice and competition. And I'm convinced at the end of the day, the plan will have both of those. But that is not the essential element," she said in an interview with CNN.
Tonight the Administration is backing away from Sebelius as fast as they can:

"I think what's important is choice and competition. And I'm convinced at the end of the day, the plan will have both of those. But that is not the essential element," she said in an interview with CNN. What plan is that? Obama doesn't have a healthcare plan, except his plan to destroy the country.

The person behind the curtain gave the strings a strong jerk and Obama snapped back into line. Who was it?

"I think what's important is choice and competition. And I'm convinced at the end of the day, the plan will have both of those. But that is not the essential element," Choice and competition are not essential to Barack's plan. Only one thing is essential and that is government control of your choices and the market for healthcare.

I found a video of the White House working the problem. That routine is a classic however, I look at the crowd in the white house as the Keystone Cops.
