Bait and switch: How the “public option” was sold
anyone still talking about The Public Option at this late date wants to be fooled.

Is there some reason Firedoglake keeps referring to non-existant legislation and ignoring legislation that has been proposed and has actual co-sponsors?

The public option was never anything but a roach motel for progressive energy. What we need to do is make Medicare available to everyone.

Maybe Obama wants the sequester. After all, much depends upon how this is administered. The process will be completely opaque, so this could be the perfect power grab. Not only the power grab of administering the sequester just how he pleases, but other power grabs while we are distracted by sequestration. All the while he can blame the Republicans. It is the perfect shock doctrine.

Atrios is right, we should be agitating for an increase in Social Security benefits.

Ben does not have the power to disregard a law, and the law is clear, the Treasury Secretary has the power to mint that coin.

Obama is a rotten president, worse than Bush.

even if Obama is bluffing, he could back himself into a corner were he does default, that is how WWI started. A series of diplomatic maneuvers that backfired.

At his press conference yesterday Obama heavily implied that in the event we go over the debt limit he plans to break the Social Security Act, the Defense Authorization Act, laws governing the funding food safety and many more.
never let it be forgotten that he can make all of this go away with one little platinum coin. he is doing this because he wants to.

Yes, vote Green. Seriously, there is no Democratic party. The sooner we adjust to that fact, the sooner we get our country back.
And if Cuomo was worried about the Democratic base in 2016, he would not talk about privatizing utility companies and he would not be waging war on public employees. There is no Democratic party.

As Saul Alinsky teaches us, always use the tools the powers that be offer us. Even though the petition process may be a joke, if we take it seriously the powers that be will be forced to respond.

You know who would make a great Treasury Secretary and would make Obama hugely popular? Warren Mosler. Yeah, I know, only in our dreams. But it would be a brilliant appointment.

Voting for Romney would be a terrible idea. Vote for Jill Stein, or Rocky Anderson, or any emergent party candidate. Don’t vote for Romney

Cheap shot, Pam Spaulding still believes that Obama is the best choice, but is not an Obot. Go over to Balloon Juice if you want to see what Obots look like.

Really? Unemployment was 7.1% on January 20, 2009, it is now 8.3% and was higher. The rate of homelessness, especially homeless children has soared. We are worse off. It is at least arguable that Obama is the more effective evil.
Speaking only for myself, I am voting for Jill Stein.

Has Amnesty International or any other international human rights organization taken an interest in the case?

dcblogger commented on the blog post Earth to the President: voters and donors you need are checking out of the process
How many of Obama’s small donors of 2008 are currently unemployed? How many have been forced into bankruptcy? Have lost their house? Are currently homeless? Are dead by their own hand having been driven to suicide by economic ruin? You can’t help a President who will not help himself. Obama has no one but himself to blame for picking a horrible economic team and pursuing horrible economic policies.
