Whenever I hear a liberal make a statement such as, "Obama has been trying to carry out his promises, but the right won't let him..." I'm going to shove this in their face... This even more insulting than how he "ended the War in Iraq" (by withdrawing all the troops, except for 50,000).

Another disappointing but completely unsurprising move from Obama. Seems to be a recurring theme.

Indeed. And in regards to Iraq, don't forget all the private contractors and corporate mercenaries we still have over there, who even last year vastly outnumbered the US military.

Newsflash- Obama is full of shit and we don't have a democracy we live under a plutocracy :) . Business as usual but hopefully news like this will open some liberals eyes.

Obama has been part of the DLC (Democratic Leadership Council) for some time now- back in 2004 his chief of staff wrote a book "The Plan; Big Ideas For America"- in it he laid out a slew of shitty corporate ideas that would make your head spin. A mandate to but privatized insurance was one of them.

All of the details don't really matter, at the end of the day, concentrated wealth is going to be the no 1 benefactor of the state not the people but if you read Rahm Emanuel's book the details are kinda scary. Very Orwellian.

Actually, all Obama did was follow the agreement worked out by Bush during his final days in power.

I thought that pact was commonly known? The Los Angeles reported those deals back during the socalled health care debate.

Yeah, this was also talked about on The Young Turks. It's been known for some time.

I would like to point out though, that it's not the Republicans that Obama made his deal with, but the industry lobbyists. Let's note just who has the power in Washington.

This should be big news. Even while President Obama was saying that he thought a public option was a good idea and encouraging supporters to believe his healthcare plan would include one, he had promised for-profit hospital lobbyists that there would be no public option in the final bill.


You can believe in this change.... but you can believe in God too and he doesn't do anything for you either
