Obama managed, while looking like he was giving in, to trick pretty much everyone onto a better deal.
If he's managed that with a few other egregious capitulations, he may actually become a hero over the next few months.
[not discounting, of course, the fact he's managed to pull off some seriously good legislation anyway]

Date: 2011-12-05 06:50 pm (UTC)All of this is STILL a giant kludge. Americans (and most of the First World) no longer treat medical insurance as insurance, but rather as a giant Groupon. Public "option" was only the ever really, truly sane way to go.
