Senior adviser Valerie Jarrett said Obama believes the public plan is still the ''best possible choice,'' but she said he's not demanding it.

If it's the "best possible choice" why isn't he demanding it when the Dems control the House, Senate and the WH? Here's what I believe: Either President Obama is the worst negotiator I've ever seen (single payer is the best possible option - the public option IS THE COMPROMISE POSITION) or he truly doesn't want a public option and is more than willing to "negotiate" it away. It's that simple. If we get a robust public option it will be in spite of Obama not because of him.
