Morning Shmo said that Obama gave up the Public Option last Night, simple as that.
Did I miss something? From what I saw, he said he wants a public option but would take something else that accomplishes the things he wants out of health care (which I think speaks bipartisanship when in reality the public option is still the best way).

What's with Joe's and lying the last two days?

2. That's because, for a change, Mourning Ho-Jo is correct: It's all but trashed in this
pseudo-reality called "appeasing big business" and the DLC/Blue Dogs/GOP crones working for K Street.

3. Joe is still stuck in the "when I was in Congress" mode
Who else talks so much about a job they held 15 years ago like it was yesterday? He refuses to believe things have changed. He is trying to make comparisons to his glory days, when he actually has no clue of the opinions of today's majority in Congress.

6. I think he wants to be the GOP candidate for Pres. in 2012
He's off on another tour of the country next week (promoting his book?) and "listening to America". :eyes:
