Obama's obsession with passing a bipartisan bill with the GOP is insane. They are out to destroy whatever comes down the pipe. Now, seeing that the public option won't win a filibuster majority, his administration is backing away from the public option.
Obama: “The public option – whether we have it or we don’t have it – is not the entirety of health care reform,”
CNN has Sec. of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius as saying: "A public option 'is not an essential element,'”
What is the obsession with bipartisan. He has the opportunity to pass it without any GOP people. He is just not willing to go down that road. I don't understand it because he fought to get reconciliation for the health care bill last April and he's now unwilling to use it.
