At worst, perhaps one could say that Obama is disingenuous. Lofty rhetoric, somewhere between King and Kennedy, appealing to black and white. What an actor would do. But to gummy up the faith liberals and progressives had in him on the public option-after repeating its mantra over and over on the campaign trail-has given we on the left a new motivation to re-evaluate support for him. Cracks have already opened up; we should start laying down some heavy duty pipe to the administrations cranium every time they run counter to our agenda because it also seems to me that the WH is ignoring the left. Ignore the left while you cozy up to Joe Lieberman,Nelson and whittle down an already deeply flawed medical bill.
