People like you are the downfall of this country.

Health care reform, sir, must include a public option. We swept Congress and the White House because we want change and not the same. You said that you would reform health care; not give us the same bull. Why are you bowing to the GOP; they lost. They lost because we want reform. Please, sir, do not sell us out. We need this public option for there to be real reform. President Obama, please stick to your guns; your base is behind you if you don't sell us out; please...
