For the record, I would be fine with a "trigger" or the state opt-out currently present in the Senate bill. I agree with Ed, however, that President Obama is not pushing hard enough for the public option or putting enough pressure on Republican legislators.
As you know, I voted against Obama but I don't get why his numbers are dropping at such a rate. The economy didn't turn into a magic wonderland overnight, but it is slowly improving. The Dow is up by what, like 4,000 points since he took over. Granted, I don't think he deserves all or even most of the credit, but it did improve on his watch. The war in Iraq is still being won, and Afghanistan is anything but controllable, especially in 6 months. Also, of course it is controversial, but he is delivering on his promise to reform health care.
ReplyDeleteI know you probably agree with me on most of these points, but as a conservative, I just don't get it.
