Obama did one thing that I think helps liberals over the long run. I think he always cared about one thing and one thing only--passing health care reform.
That's why I think it was absurd for opponents of it to label health care reform "ObamaCare" as all that Obama cared about was passing a health care reform bill--he didn't care how it looked. And the proof is in the pudding, its turning into a sorry little bill full of giveaways, half measures, and blah blah... you've heard it from me before.
But it does get us closer to a workable more efficient health care system...its a step in the right direction. Also, by angering the left he proves he is no socialist, no lackey to the soviet-left or whatever they are saying on Glen Becks show. Most importantly he shows the the Republican party supports the status quo when it comes to health care--they like the broken health care system.They have no interest whatsoever in reforming the health care system (i.e. they want to bankrupt the nation) and are promising to run on a "we'll repeal health care reform" platform in 2010.
Basically anyone without health care, or anyone with a pre-existing conditions will be voting Democratic in 2010--that is, if the Democrats can get their act together politically speaking which remains to be seen.
