I hear ya. I also get all fired up when I hear speeches from Rep Weiner and Grayson, but unfortunately, they lack the necessary tactfullness to get things done. If Obama came out guns blazin', prosecuted Bush for his wrong doings, attacked the GOP, and threw his health care plan down their throat... most likely he would have alienated the moderate democrats. They have been the key this whole time. Obama needed 60-40 in the Senate, and he got it! Unbelievable! Democrats are not like Republicans. They're not all sheep that recite the same propaganda. So it's very impressive that he got all of them to vote for this legislation (I understand it hasn't passed yet, but 51 votes is much easier then the 60 needed to prevent a filibuster).

Regarding what else could have Obama done... I know for a fact that Obama called my Representative in Upstate NY the day for the vote in the House and asked him to vote for the bill. He's doing a lot 'behind the scenes', despite what Cenk's 'sources' tell him, and he's doing it all with class and tact.

The proof is in the pudding, so it's hard to criticize success... yet people still do! If this thing gets passed with a public option, then Cenk and the rest of the doubters on this site and around the country will be eating their words! 'Revenge is a best dish served cold'
