Krugman this morning couldn’t have made a better case for private insurers with his column…without really even mentioning private insurers. In the next office, David Brooks thinks Obama is doing a great job. Would think Obama progressives would be worried by that. He doesn’t mention the poor, the hungry, the jobless, the struggling even once in his high-minded tribute. Times is back in cheerleading form.

it is an attempt to shut down debate. All for the sake of rotten legislation that will give Republicans control in the Nov election. I just don't get it.

Obama's silence, on this and other (5.00 / 3) (#21)

aspects of the health reform effort, speaks volumes, and is a much better indicator - to me - of where he really is on these things, much more so than anything he actually says, because what he actually says is so variable, day to day, interest group to interest group.

I can't be the only one who thinks he would prefer that the House just pass the Senate bill - period - and quit trying to make it "better."

It's like WWTSBQ all over again, only this time the SB is Pelosi.

That message - whether it is directed at Pelosi or everyone else who is dragging his or her feet and resisting being hauled into line - is everywhere.

And did I read up thread that Krugman is fully on board with the Senate health care sham when he himself argued public insurance choices(whatever), were the only way to force downward pressure on private insurance markets?

The "just pass the damn thing 'cause I'm tired of hearing about it" crew are the same ones who argue that once the bill is passed, they'll be demanding improvements. Yeah, they're really interested in better policy. Not.

Kill the Damned Bill.

Thanks for pointing this out lambert.
