Reply #115: Yeah....that's not a flip-flop.

I've seen that over and over and over again. As I stated very clearly candidate Obama did not run on that statement. Further more, as a proponent he realized his obstacles and he also sees that after taking back the WH and Senate we have Dem Senators who are siding with Repubs who will fuck us up. He came to realize that when they would vote against his plans. He proposed a realistic plan during the campaign. You can be realistic with a public option even though striving for a single payer option.

HELLO!!! This seen clearly. Further more that was 3 years before he joined the candidacy. His candidacy is one thing seperate which is what I sated. In any event...I would be a proponent for single payer even though I prefer universal care---however I am fully willing to compromise when I see people willing to do nothing instead of getting proper care for the American people.
