[Peacetrain]

13. "We have talked this issue to death" The time is now!!

[jenmito]

15. Yup. All those who want him to "start over" or "go slower,"

forget about it!

[polichick]

[jenmito]

[TheKentuckian]

16. Ready to go!!! (nt)

[gateley]

17. Public Option!!!!!

[Parker CA]

18. Reaffirming his support for public option right now!!

[jenmito]

19. Yup! Yet the media keeps saying he DROPPED the public option.

:eyes:

[flpoljunkie]

21. It's obvious he believes the public option's necessary to 'keep the insurance companies honest.'

And, he's right!

[jenmito]

23. Yup. He defended it and did NOT say it's not that important-he gave nothing for the media to

lie about or cherry-pick.

[madmax]

20. He's baaaaaack

That's my President!

[prolesunited]

22. He's on fire!

Every time I listen to the media, it's always jumbled and confusing. Then, I listen to Obama directly and I see the man I voted and campaigned for.

Fired up! Ready to go!

[jenmito]

24. Same here! n/t

[jenmito]

25. On both CNN and MSNBC-"Is the White House worried that he's over-exposed?"

And NO talk about his support of the public option.

[Beetwasher]

26. I Wish I Could Bludgeon The Corp. Media To Death W/ A Spiked Club

n/t

[jenmito]

27. Contessa Brewer-"Why, when it looks like the majority of people support the PO, would

Obama back away from it?" Is she kidding me?

[Thrill]

28. It amazes me how the media twist shit

[goclark]

30. M$M is in the pockets of the Rethugs nt

If we think for a minute they are "liberal -- forget it eeal quick."

[Inuca]

29. About that overexposure thing

1. when I hear that, my dirty mind... well, nevermind.. I will not go on :blush:
2. what will they say after this http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32861847/ns/entertainment-television/? I just created a new thread about the coming "over exposure"

[jenmito]

31. David Shuster just said Obama didn't MENTION the public option in his speech today!

It must've been an honest mistake since he's always on the right side of things, so I sent him a "direct message" telling him he's wrong. Let's see if he corrects himself.
