Dude, You Totally Voted for Neville Chamberlain
I don't mean to go too hard on jurassicpork, who has many good things to say in this post, which is worth reading (via Avedon), but when it comes to the title ("I Didn't Vote for Neville Chamberlain"), I do have a nit to pick. Er, dude, you totally voted for Neville Chamberlain. That's not something that Obama is just now revealing about himself. It was one of his selling points. He campaigned on being Neville Chamberlain, promising to bring peace in our time.
Obama in one of his 2007 ads (emphasis mine):
"Strong public option" = "peace in our time"
Once you accept the "public option" frame, it's "goodnight, nurse!" for real health-insurance reform.
It's only happening about everywhere in the liberal blogosphere.
OTOH, maybe a compromise with the Blue Dogs, Republicans, and death-by-spreadsheet crowd will work out just fine. It would be irresponsible not to equivocate.
