Obama did precisely the wrong thing by flattering the "public option" concept. It substituted, in the national dialogue, a wafty pseudo-plan that was easily reduced to nothing for consideration of proven options like single payer and socialized medicine.
Obama may have come out in support of gay-marriage publicly, but he followed it up with how it should be a state's rights issue. Which is pretty much a way of soaking up the accolades for saying he's for same-sex marriage without actually having to do anything about it.

...prior to the election.
My conclusion is that elections temporarily increase Obama's intelligence to the point where he can say the right things with his mouth.
Amazing.
I disagree.

When you're right, you're left, VL, and you're right.
