MODERATORS
He had complete control of Congress for 2 years, and could have given us universal healthcare. Instead, he gave us the ACA and only made the existing system that much more complicated.
if republicans want 50 bucks they ask for 100 so they can negotiate down to 70 at most.
if obama wants 50 bucks he asks for 20 in hopes it'll make republicans more likely to accept, then lets republicans negotiate it down to 5.
Right it's all his fault and not anybody else's, especially not Republicans
The right actively worked against him from day 1. The death of Senator Ted Kennedy and Independent Senator Lieberman really hampered his efforts for a single payer option.
I don't remember the exact details, but the dems only had effective control of congress for something like 10 days, due to technicalities.
