Built in excuse.

15. Garbage. He's not going to veto a public option bill passed by a Democratic Congress
on the excuse that he didn't campaign for it.

He always supported one but even if he hadn't, he's never taken a position opposing one. He's not going to start now.

11. That would give me some indication on if the public option is still
alive. Did Obama promise to veto it or will he sign it if it passes?

He has never said he would veto it.

Why do you ask?

13. So if the public option isn't included, it's not Obama's fault?

18. The fault would belong to the congress
However, the chance that we'll get a public option via reconciliation is looking better every day.

10. Obama will veto nothing that makes it to his desk
but you're crazy if you think that the PO has even a snowball's chance in hell.

20. If he does he had better be prepared to do most of his own door knocking
in the next election.
