Gridlock

I'm starting to think this healthcare debate isn't about healthcare at all. We've been focusing on it for so fucking long, I'm beginning to think that it is a distraction from the financial crisis. Democracy for America has gotten 59 senators to say sign on saying they support a public option. Yet the white house and republicans are arguing about something more conservative than that? Surely that would pass easily. Logically, it just doesn't add up. More than 25% of his term has been losing one battle. Just one.
