Barack Obama: The Democrats' smilely face "Tricky Dick" Nixon.
Obama used and manipulated his own supporters over the Public Option. The Democrats will pay a terrible price for these lies in the fall election.
For Obama to egg on his supporters, to exhort them to keep up the fight, and pledge his strong support for a public option, when all the while he had cut a deal with the hospital and corporate lobbyists to remove the public option from the final legislation:

Wow, that's just evil. That's just plain, raw, unadulterated manipulation on Obama's part. Boy, he really is one dirty "Tricky Dick" Nixon type.
I feel sorry for those fools who continued to believe in him, long after it was obvious he was a fake.
It's like the poor fools that belong to cults - following some power-mad sleazeball who's just using and manipulating them. They desperately want to believe in something to try and make their lives worthwhile, and the scumbag cult leader takes advantage of their incredible naivete.
Yes, I too was tricked and fooled by him, supported and voted for him in the all-important NC primary and the general election. But it didn't take me long to figure that Obama was nothing but a tool of Wall Street crooks.
Obama promised "Change We Can Believe In", instead we got a pack of lies, and BIG BAILOUTS for Wall Street and the Health Insurance Industry! The people won't stand for this - and even though the Republicans are worse, Obama will cause the Democrats to pay the price. That is the moral consequence of his lies.
