    I would not at all be surprised to find out Obama worked behind the scenes to kill the public option. Paul Krugman called it three years ago, and the Boston Globe wrote an article at the time basically echoing how the entire health care debate went down in 2009:

    A couple of BP stats for the past decade of production:
    150 fatalities
    3575 accidents-over 2000 on job injuries
    Divide by 10 years and sure enough they had a stellar year even with the off shore explosion catastrophe.

    In case your interested. Here are a couple links from nytimes and guardian concerning how the bank collapse occurred (court ordered doc release) and how bank liquidity was conditional on drug money. When drug cartels took money out of bank because of upcoming criminal investigations the banks lost virtually all liquidity putting them on their knees until Fed loan and govt. bail out saved them. Stories have everything-drugs, murder, money, power. Check it out. By the way, corp main stream media has yet to show it.

    I knew for a fact at the time that the Hospital Lobby killed the Public Option though it got very little press then. I am glad to see this fact and the Obama’s Administrations hand in helping make it happen re-emerge as a news story.

    Why vote when both sides suck? Because one side sucks less than the other. If you want to get all self-righteous about how important your one vote is, then you are as much to blame for the problems we face as the people who vote for the party that sucks even more (and we all know that’s the Republicon party). Even if you despise the Democratic party for how spineless and corrupted by money as it is, this budget issue should tell you that at least they stand for the people’s interest *IN SPADES* more than the republicons. So think of your vote as a push in a direction, not your stamped approval of what the politician stands for. By doing so, you can relieve yourself of the burden of being at fault when they don’t do the right thing. So quit making excuses for being so lazy.

    Did you ever think how in the world could six governors, only in office for two months, ram the identical word for word laws through their state legislator­­s? Breaking the union and ending collective bargaining when these were never part of their campaigns.

    Otter, Walker, Kasich, Christie, Scott et al, are merely following the legislatio­­n that was printed for them by the American Legislativ­­e Exchange Council.

    This cabal proves unequivoca­lly that they are mere puppets and dupes of the people who really run this country. These governors are slaves to the moneyed interests of billionair­­es and industrial­­ists and corporatis­­ts fronting the scholar citizen.

    Check it out.

    Jesse Ventura think he should be above the law because he isn’t a threat? The fact that he is convinced the American government were behind 9/11 instead of Bin Laden is proof enough that he is mentally unstable, not to mention his endorsement of every other ridiculous conrpiracy theory.
