<sinp>
A new Gallup poll asked Americans whom they trusted to reform the nation's health care system.

Politics Daily: "Americans have more confidence in President Obama to recommend the right thing for health care reform than they do in Democratic or Republican leaders on Capitol Hill, but the percentages for all of the players on the issue is lower than it was last June, according to a Gallup poll conducted March 2-3. ... 'As the debate over healthcare reform legislation enters what could be its final month, the American public's confidence in several of the political players who have been at the heart of the fray has eroded,' Gallup said" (Drake, 3/5). </snip>

2. I trust none of the above.

It is sad that we have to choose from this bunch. The deal Obama made with pharma is one of the worst betrayals he has made. He should be ashamed.

3. Well...duh.

Dems in Congress hemmed and hawed when left to come up with a bill, Rethugs would rather we all die. Obama can be argued as making mistakes but he is the best we got.

4. So what?

That's like trying to pick a pile of shit by which one reeks the least.

Fucking skewed poll questions lead to false crap conclusions. Thanks for the perfect example.

I don't know ANYONE on either side who thinks congress is doing a good job.
