1. But he didn't

what he did say was

"But if anyone from either party has a better approach that will bring down premiums, bring down the deficit, cover the uninsured, strengthen Medicare for seniors, and stop insurance company abuses, let me know."

We tried to let him know, but he took single payer off the table before negotiations even started.

I did send a message through whitehouse.gov letting them know I had a better approach and it was called "Medicare for All".

2. God forbid he listen to

us loony lefties!

8. Yeah, that part of his speech pissed me off.

[Cleita]

3. It would be wonderful.

He's at the crossroads and doesn't realize that the way is not straight ahead but a turn to the left. It's a shame.

[Oregone]

4. It was a frustrating line

He sat there almost pretending no other solution would exist than the pile of garbage Congress porked together. Its obvious and its clear

5. He was too busy talking about

how much he loves nuclear and coal.

7. I am just so fucking OVERJOYED that the President wants the Republicans AND Dems

to come together for healthcare reform. That means we will get the absolute worst fucking parts of the DEFORM that is in the Senate bill. All in the name of good ole American BI-partisanship.

That statement was a BUMMER.

9. I wrote a long reply and scrapped it

This blindness and mindset toward HCR and administration goals(not people's popular attitudes toward simpler, easily envisioned better public solutions) is mirrored everywhere on EVERY other policy issue, and some not stated in the SOTU address. That was the clear and final educational value of the speech. The crooked path that veers right is the path that the WH thinks is the one and only in existence. Repeat, reframe impressive words, and give away the store to the problem makers. I honestly believe in their good intentions, but this neither answers public desires, majority opinions on clear issues nor has any sense or practicality in its Reaganesque idealism. It is puzzling as a Democratic party platform unless you equate the dumping of the New Deal for New DINOs as like the dumping of Lincoln by the GOP.

10. It's going to take a huge movement

That the Democratic party cannot ignore.

Im' a MEDICARE-for-ALL Democrat, are you?
