I get what you are saying Cenk. I don't mind if Obama came out strongly for a Single Payer system and then had to settle for the Public Option. I don't even care if he came out strongly for these and then it ended up failing. Obama's whole election was that he stood for something. He stood for something different. He stood for the little people who have a hard time paying medical bills and have to choose whether they can go to a doctor or put food on the table for that day. He stood against cronie capitalism and for making our capitalist system work for the greater people. He also stood for change. He stood for swift change. He talked tough about change. He told us that change wouldn't be easy but that he would never quit fighting. Maybe he is still fighting to provide that change, but I don't see it. It seems like he cared alot more about change when he was trying to get elected. He was talking about it every day. Now I see a guy who won't answer a question the media asks him, a guy who won't take a position upon things he campaigned on, and a guy who for some reason looks a little weak in the spine. I want that leader that said shoot the pirates. I want the leader that caught a fly out of mid air. I want the guy that told us "Yes We Can". Maybe he still is that guy. All I know is that if he is, he better start showing us pretty darn quick.
