I wish the President would fight as hard for the public option as he is for mandates.

Sorry, but going out on TV and saying "the public option isn't dead" is not exactly a great sales tactic. Looks like sandbagging to me.

If only he would defend the public option like he's defending mandates. In that case, he's going through logistical acrobatics trying to sell this idea (which Americans already rejected) to the public.

Why is he fighting so hard for the idea none of us want, and backpedaling on the idea that we overwhelmingly want?

Huh?  :whatever:

Could it be because you are all wild-eyed, raving-crazy moonbats?

Could it be because you are a group of foaming maniacal lunatics, while the vast majority of
democrats are simply treasonous heathens?

Let me translate that phrase into English from Obamish for you there, DUmmie:  "Looks like either the public option or the bill is dead.  I don't know which."

I am not sure what logistical acrobatics means.   

I went over to their thread and boy is there a lot of grumbling and grousing.

In my world, it means going to truly extraordinary measures to make sure the beans, bullets and fuel gets to the troops.  In DUmmyland it either means yet another illiterate posted on their site, or there is going to be an emergency airdrop of Cheetos somewhere.

Waste of materiel.  We learned at Bikini Atoll how to properly "pacify" places like $kimmer's Island.



Just like a sniper.  One shot, one (island) kill.
