Which statement more closely reflects the reality of progress on health care reform legislation
A - Obama failed to lead on health care so the bill will not include a robust public option.

B - Obama got exactly what he pushed for via Rahm: a weak public option.

C - Obama provided guidelines and worked with Congress to pass the strongest bill possible.

8. Oh, you mean the usual
fail pushers..they may be swarming around but President Obama will be in office for 8 years working for our country.

I couldn't care less what the whiners say..it has no effect on the progress of our government.

10. See, I said you werent paying attention
You're too dismissive of people who actually believe Obama can do better than he is, which gives you a blindspot when it comes to valid criticism.

Obama played a nice, behind-the-scenes game, and it's clear he intends to blame Congress for any and all of the bill's inadequacies, but this bill has Rahm Emanuel's fingerprints all over it, and I believe the President is getting almost exactly what he wanted.
