[nuumskee]

exsactly, its funny how healthcare mustbe budget neutral and wars can run debt with no end or plan in site!  Funny how you can have no bid contracts that does support productivity as the best cost to the tax payer but want to cut medicade, education, other social services, funny how you will get more jail time for shop lifting at walmart than bankers who riped off billions with inhanced ponze scemes, store it offshore & then ask for a bailout & no one wants to force them to take less

[tates1a]

Obviously Mike Allen's 'sources' are those AGAINST a public option. Pelosi and WH's irritation is justified because the Dem House leadership the false report comes out the day the Speaker is take a roll call of House Dem votes for the robust public option.

i hope they go with the opt out plan and blue states can see how great the public option is

[dogstar7]

Brilliant political interrogative, Joe; 'The other side says you're not winning, so there!'

Jarrett: "We'll see...",

meaning; 'WTF do you think you're talking about? Obama's whippin' conservative ass like a Sunday souffle'

[baronmorris]

thx for the laugh dogstar7. sometimes things get a little too sirius, you know? ;-)

cheers

[MaladaptiveCatalyst]

Dont the insurance companies already compete? wtf

[dogstar7]

No, as a matter of fact: They Don't!

That's why Congress is involved in repealing the anti-trust exemptions that insurance companies enjoy.

[jasonsadventure]

no, insurance companies don't compete.

amazingly, they have an exemption from federal anti-trust laws.

not only do they not compete, they are immoral entities that profit from disease and make money from death.

[RodgersRevolution]

Car insurance companies do.

[SubmarinerAndroid]

COMMITTED to the public option? No, Ms. Jarrett, that is not what the Pres has been saying up til now. If he is committed to it now, that is good news!

[dogstar7]

Point to a moment in time when Obama was 'off message' on a Public Option. You can't.

[SubmarinerAndroid]

Until now he has been saying basically 'I think a public option would be great but we'll see' not that we MUST get one and will come out and fight for it, which is what 'committed' implies.

A close advisor to the Pres does not come to the media with a new choice of words on an important issue if she is not trying to convey a new message from the administration.
