Why would the white house let him write anything?
MSNBC make it sound like he wrote what he wanted Obama to do and white house lawyers approved it.

| 5. I think it's because of the money. |
|
A public option has to involve federal funds, which must be passed by Congress.

One is for what to commit spending on, the other is for what not to spend money on. The latter is always acceptable, while the former is not.

| 9. Actually I think it does two things: it effectively plays both sides |
|
It really does nothing more than uphold the Hyde Amendment
BUT it also gives the President a talking point with pro-life independents.
When the GOP yell that President Obama is pro-abortion, he can simply say that he signed the executive order against.
I think it is smart.
Gives up nothing, gets him some cover.
