In reply to the discussion: Joe Biden breaks with Obama in moving to left [View all]Hortensis
(58,785 posts)needs its butt kicked down the hill with all this hostile spin.
Btw, who doesn't know that Obama did NOT "decide against pursuing a public option as part of ObamaCare"?
Congressional Democrats wrote and passed that bill. Pelosi was the one person above all in a very large team who is credited with getting almost all important provisions passed against great resistance from within and without our party. But that snake Senator Lieberman threatened to filibuster and kill the entire bill if the public option was left in, and it was set aside to be passed as soon as possible, in the beginning of Hillary's first term if it had to wait until then.
Just one example of the disinfo in this piece.
(Btw, Pelosi had intended to retire in 2016 but stayed on in very large part to try to protect the ACA from Republican destruction. And it survives, not intact but still functioning amazingly well in spite of everything they have done to it.)

primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
