Obama's spin is that he didn't campaign on the public option but he sure did sound like he wanted one in the clip from earlier this year the group uses.
Go get them guys! Tell your progressive friends in the House to fight this sellout to the greedy insurance companies! Don't give in! Don't give up! Yes! You! Can!
Even the White House spokesmen at NBC admit Obama was opposed to an individual mandate throughout the campaign. He also promised to sign a bill that was deficit neutral (no one really believes any of that) or that there would be no new or increased taxes on anyone earning less than $250,000. So you know...he lies.
BTW-As of yesterday, President Present's administration won't say if it favors the House or Senate bill.
We all know that Obama favors the Senate bill for the simple reason it's the only one with a prayer of passing both houses. That's the bottom line in all of this...pass something. Then they can begin spinning it and try and work on the popularity of the bill. Right now the indecision and infighting is killing them. They simply need to get it off the front page.
