From the DUmp thread on today's news that the White House is ready to dump the "public option". Here's just a few tasty morsels:
Depressing. Our leaders have sold us out.
What happened to Presidents who said "The Buck Stops Here" and acted accordingly?
Make no mistake about it. Obama has sold us out. He's going to force everyone into Romneycare where you buy junk policies that wont cover doodley-squat. And the beancounters will be able to deny even more care. Meanwhile, the racketeering CEO's will get to double their bloated salaries. This is just more corporate welfare.
So much for "Taking On The Private Interests".
i think the idea is they lie like a rug about what he wants and then pass a sham bill quickly
Baucus' bill is the one Obama will sign...More corporate welfare for the pimping CEOs while the rest of us get f***ed even more
Yes, they have sold us out. So public option, just a weak co-op as yet another band aid that won't do s***. Obama said he was for change. We now see that's all we'll have left in our pockets after he forces Romneycare down out throats.
and the Bait and Switch continues
Bribing criminal scumbags is what he calls reform
the royal scam on the american public is in high gear baby-pedal to the metal
This is an exrememly sad depelopment
We already elected an overwhelmingly Democratic House, 60 Senators and the President. What the f--k more do we have to do?
But at least 20 of the Dem Senators are traitors and appeasers including the "leader".
No more donating to the DNC
Get ready for a GOP Congress in 2010. It's a rerun of Clinton all over again
Embarrassed to say that I totally believed him
Stick a fork in health care reform. It's dead. We're going to have to wait another 15-20 years before we can try (and fail) again
You have got to be f***ing kidding me
he is already on track to be a one term President. He will either lose the nomination or the election. And no, I am not one who thought he was going to lose in the past. I donated my legal limit to him in Decedmber 2007 and then went over every time McCain's numbers went up. But I do not intend to vote for Obama again, not in a primary anyway
He also said he would repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"
The terrorists won. I have said this before, but it bears repeating - Rove was right when he said that Dems are soft on terrorists. He said that after we were attacked on 9/11 the Dems would have sought counseling for the terrorists. Well, terrorists attacked us again on the health care debate, and guess what we did? It's over. I am going to redouble my efforts to find a job in a civilized country. THere is no one here to support any more.
Sigh it was nice while it lasted...guess I'll be staying home next election...F*** those blue dog inbreds...
Get ready for Speaker Boner, Majority Leader Frog Face, and President Palin in 2013The Dems are not getting any more money, volunteer time, or even votes from me. I've been voting Dem since 1978, and it's over.
unf***ing believable!!!! I AM NOT PLEASED AT ALL!!!
This bulls*** "compromise" is infuriating!
I'm not okay with it and that's not why I voted for him, talk about failure!
CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN?????????????????????????
We're screwed. We'll end up with a bad government program, either a co-op or public option, which will prove what the Republicans have been saying all along, government is the problem, not the solution. We are allowing the Republicans to dominate the discussion and we will deserve what we get.
Read them all at your Sunday leisure:

Joe Bacon (1000+ posts) Sun Aug-16-09 12:43 PM Response to Reply #13 19. We're 0 for 9 in 1912, Teddy Roosevelt called for National Health Insurance and Wilson took him to the cleaners for wanting to "regulate everything"
In 1933, FDR tried for Health Insurance and he too gave up. He got half a loaf called Social Security
In 1949, Truman tried for Health Insurance and Baxter & Associates tarred him with "Socialized Medicine"
In 1961, Kennedy failed to pass Medicare
In 1965, Johnson had to settle for another half loaf called Medicare and Medicaid
In 1974, we tried again to pass the single-payer Kennedy-Griffiths act, then Kennedy abandoned single payer and worked with Wilbur Mills for another watered down version of health insurance reform that got torpedoed. Hell, I remember that battle, I fought in it. I still remember when the AMA actually proposed "Medicredit" which would assist people based on how much they paid in taxes.
In 1994, not only did Hillary get torpedoed by that liar Andrew Sullivan, but his pals Harry and Louise finished the job on the Federal level. So here in California, we fought for single payer proposition 104, which got shot down after the health insurance racketeers poured 100 million into the state to kill it.
In this decade, twice we've passed single payer in California only to be hit with a veto from Arnold the Asshole
Now Obama has sold us out
It's 0 for 9. Game over. We've lost.

Here's a good one:
To say I am disappointed would be a dramatic understatement. I am depressed, I have been let down by a man I worked long hours for. By a man who many of us have worked long hours for and struggled to make President. What happened to the momentum? The hope and change we could believe in? Because I really did want to believe in that... He (Obama) should be required to see every single one of them and apologize, in person, for lacking the nerve to fight for them. I was so impressed with his speech last night. I need to learn to read between the lines and invest in an improved bull shit detector. I should probably try to calm down, at the moment I can't decide whether to laugh or cry or throw something.

What happened to Presidents who said "The Buck Stops Here" and acted accordingly? That was Truman, and he'd spit on today's Democrat Party. Even my parents, lifelong conservatives, thought Truman was okay, for a d*mndemocrat. They hated FDR and thought he waa a communist.

I remember what the pundits in the media were saying when the boy wonder was inaugurated. They assured us that the Republican party would be a minority party for a generation and the the people of this country would be shocked by what the Kenyan would achieve in his first year. Ok I will admit that we are awed and shocked but only that a politician with all that supposed good will could blow it in such a short time-the guy and his sock puppets turned out to be virtual imbeciles..

Maybe Obama does have some game after all. It seems he's learned the head-fake very well. Well enough to even fake out his “team”.
Withdrawing the “public option” is likely nothing more than a strategic retreat — giving up some ground that can easily be retaken, once a (almost any) health care bill passes.

A poster at the ‘Ace of Spades’ site refers to the Health Care “debate” between Palin and Obama as ‘LOTUS vs. TOTUS’ (Laptop of the United States vs. Teleprompter of the United States). Love it. LOTUS vs. TOTUS.

Dump him for who or what? You can’t get much further left than Obama.
Do they think they can get Michael Moore or Keith Olberman as President?
