Don't you just love hope and change.

Wyden has a better understanding of this issue than any of them. If they can afford one war after another and super waste in spending why not just bite the bullet and give Americans what WYDEN HAS...Which is a co-pay of $400 a month for the entire family and no red tape. For the poor, create a plan that gives them coverage as well. This is what Americans want. Obama has been a BUST in my opinion and I voted for the guy. So don't throw knifes at me thinking I'm bashing the guy. He has stepped into a mine of S*** thanks to the #1 idiot Bush. But these health deals they are throwing around are such an insult. Hey, why not let us VOTE FOR THEIR INSANITY????????????????????

It's no longer possible to watch the Senate's proceedings on health care without making yourself sick. The whole premise of the current approach to reform, which is "competition in the health care industry" is a fraud. We're only talking about a system to fund and pay for health care, not health care itself. No one can offer a cogent explanation of why that segment should be a business or a private sector activity affected by competition.

So, that "hopey-changey" thing isn't exactly working out like you thought it would, huh guys?
Can't wait for the mid-terms.

I have no regrets on voting for Obama or Wyden but am not pleased at all with what is happening to the public option. I remind myself what it'd have been like with Palin that close to the presidency though and it makes any second thoughts go away. Also the environment is getting a break that it would not have with the right controlling the White House and Congress; but it doesn't make it okay what they are doing on health care. If Republicans want a serious second look they need to rethink who they nominate and get some actual conservatives who know something (and who don't blow up at anything coming along).

Look for the Union label!

If people are going to keep voting Wyden back in, you might as well vote for the rest of the Republicans as well.

As the R party shrinks to a rabble rousing minority, the alternative fails to stand up to special interests.
The answer for mid-terms: elect new D's there are plenty of thoughtful alternatives to our current crop of good old boys. Find a strong Dem to run against Wyden and send him packing. R's too bad you can't come up with alternative proposals. You coulda been contenders.

Reid now says the public option will be in the bill.
Ha!

Yeah--the congress before a year ago was excellent. can't wait to get that one back. At least we've got Sarah Palin's new book to look forward to...

Anyone who thinks what's now happening makes Republican candidates more attractive is not paying attention.

"Anyone who thinks what's now happening makes Republican candidates more attractive is not paying attention."
===
Who says Republicans need to be more attractive? As if voting for the candidate is what elections are all about, rather than voting against the incumbent we already know.
All we need is more hope and change, again!

At this rate, the blame Bush for everything excuse may just stretch conveniently until the end of Obama's term.

If so, that would merely tie the record established by the Bush Administration in blaming Bill Clinton for everything up to and including Katrina.
