If you want to be mad at Cenk for expecting more or better from the Obama administration, more power to you.

But...when you say, "let's not lose focus on the fact that we are about to witness the greatest legislation to come from our government in my lifetime" - I'm left thinking you must not even be in your teens yet, not to mention you are going to be one of millions of extremely pissed off people when you realize that in the forms of the bills presented to the House and to the Senate...well. to borrow out of your context but completely in mine:

"...THERE IS NO HEALTH CARE REFORM..."

Oh, they may get a bill passed that they CALL health (insurance) reform, but it is already clear that it will be 'in name only.'

Face it, Obama tried to finesse the presentation of a plan, leaving the form up to Congress after HE ran on having a plan. He bet on the political outcome not resembling what happened to Clinton, and it BACKFIRED. He is taking the heat for "Obamacare," whether his fingers were in the mix or not - he didn't lead when he had the chance, and if THIS is what he had in mind all along, then a pox on his house!

If all us Liberal/Progressive types wanted was a bill prohibiting "pre-existing conditions," it could have been accomplished a lot simpler than this - and that pretty much sums up the GOOD part of these bills.

...and, it's going to get worse before the final draft...

The Republicans will be able to feed off this thing's carcass for years...
