It's what the White House wanted all along
By Creature
The more I sour, the more I grudgingly come to accept that the healthcare bill coming out of the Senate is exactly what the White House wanted all along. The big pharma deal and every public-option hedge should have been enough for me, but today, in the cold light of a corporate-Lieberman-Obama victory, I am now converted. Many have been whining that Obama is not leading on healthcare reform, he is leading, just not in a direction I would like. I wanted conservative arm-twisting, but it's liberal arms that are red and sore today.

That's right. And Obama should go around with his Peace medal on his neck, saying, "We wants it, we needs it. Must have the precious."

Last time I checked, Obama was nothing if not extremely humble to receive the Nobel. I suspect he'd rather not have won it, given how much criticism he's taken. So, Anon, you're just wrong. It's as simple as that.
