Yes We Can has turned into the No We Can't administration
...the brilliant and uplifting Yes We Can campaign of 2008 has turned out to be the No We Can't administration.

all I hear from the Obama WH and his supporters these days are constant excuses as to why we can't do this, can't do that, can't get the public option, can't get medicare buy-in, can't debate single-payer, can't hold Bush accountable, can't sign the landmine ban, can't end the war, can't get any kind of progressive legislation accomplished, can't do prescription drug re-importation, on and on and on and on...and on it goes. since the end of the campaign, the White House has been singing an entirely different tune. I don't know about you, but this is not what I voted for!

Obama's new campaign slogan for 2012 should be NO WE CAN'T!

3. Mr Mickey's dad warned me of this...
He was right, but some part of me wants to believe Obama would still listen to someone .. anyone but his flank and guard.

He should have been listening to Olberman last night...

I'm sick about this.

4. Seems a bit more like, NO WE WON'T.
I say that because I believe this Admin. could bully pulpit its way into Single Payer and/or PO but won't for whatever reasons.

5. Absolutely
democrats seem to show leadership only when they're trying to get elected. when they're in office, its a whole different story.
