Lieberman sunk the bill (if it is sunk) by insisting on no public option and no expanded medicare. The Obama faction grasped that straw and it pulled them right into the morass, while Lieberman stood smiling in the distance.
Speaking of Rahm, I always thought the biggest mistake (among hundreds) that Obama made was tapping him to be COS. He’s a Clintonite and he’s still working for them, rather well I might add. It was like putting a fox in the henhouse.
So there was more to the story than met the eye???? I sure hope that is true.
