Let's say Nader or Kucinich is president... how exactly do they get to universal health care without the congress?
If everybody in this country were to vote for who they really thought best for this country (see above), that would be a mandate.
Congress would have to see the writing on the wall.
Obama campaigned from the middle.
And the middle is what he is doing.
Congress is reacting to that.
I didn't vote for him because of his war policies and his health care policies.
He never said he would provide universal health care, Doug. He always planned to keep the insurance companies in it. Not single payer.
Unless I'm reading you wrong.
Of course I'm relieved the last maniacal years are over with but I never expected anything really progressive from President Obama.
His war policy isn't a disappointment. It is exactly what he said.
He
appears to be our first black President and there has been plenty of reaction to that. In fact, fear about it.
But he is also half white and he was raised in a white world.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
