Do you believe the President?

It is now being reported that President Obama would consider not having the public option in the health care bill. Does anyone actually believe this? This is what he and the democrats want. This is just a test to see how people will react. On a side note, isn't it sad that is has come to a point where people do not believe what the President is saying? This has been going on for the past several administrations now. But it is sad when our country has gone this far.

    Unfortuantly obama has broken several of his promises. HE said e would lower our debt. Did you know he spent more on in the first 2 months of his adminstration than bush did in his entire term. His Economy stimulous package has done nothing. And I personally beleive his health care bill is a disator waiting to happen.

    Obama is trying to save face, this Socialist Health Care Bill has cost him alot, he has been caught lying, he has lost the trust of the people and the polls reflect this, at this point, if all he can get is free Band- Aids,as a Health Care bill, he will accept it and run all over the world saying he has saved America, with his new health care plan***********

    As a non USA citizen with no voting right, I would not dare to venture to answer the question about your President.

    But I do believe that politicians worldwide behave the same : they have the Before-and-After syndrome : the B-a-A Election Syndrome.

    Example : Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at the Senate Hearing (to confirm her nomination by Obama) as opposed to the way she expressed her displeasure at the African student who ventured into Bill Clinton's performance.

    Obama never had the votes in the Senate for a private option and to avoid a long knock down drag out fight that would further damage his credibility he has conceded that option. Obama now is simply doing damage control and attempting to save his political hide.

    I wonder when health companies call the conservative elements carpal tunnel, they will develop from patting themselves on the back, a pre existing condition and refuse to cover, will they blame President Obama?
