1. That's right, BBJ! Kick those Repubs that messed with this bill clear out of Washington!

Yes!

[Chulanowa]

2. Republicans?

We have those in Washington? I haven't heard a peep about this on DU. Please, tell me more! I thought it was all Democrats and especially that devil Obama!

[Hekate]

3. I knoooow. shhh. It seems to be a big secret...

... but there are these Other People in DC, and they promise they'll deal if the Dems give them what they want... and Then They Don't. And, and, when they vote, they All refuse to vote for the very things they demanded to have put in the legislation.
:wow: Can you believe such perfidy?

So I am totally, totally with BBJ: we have got to get the Republicans out of Washington, and since we don't make threats against people's lives or pray to God to kill them for us, I guess we'll just have to vote them out.

And we'll have to tell the Dems to stop believing them, ever.

6. Yeah, I thought the whole point...

...was to vote out the Democrats (including Obama in 2012) because of this bill -- because we know we'll get a public option or Medicare-for-all if the Republicans are in charge, right? Right?

:sarcasm:

8. I was just thinking:

That person in the voting booth is slamming his head against the machine saying: NOW WHAT?

[Chulanowa]

15. Around here lately? Well, I've been rather dispirited by DU of late

Happy holidays.

[HipChick]

16. +1...we know we'll definitely get a public option if we put the Republicans back in charge..right?

[leftstreet]

4. LOL

Clever!

:rofl:

5. one might ask... "how, exactly? vote for whom?" but your cartoon is cute nonetheless...

10. One Term President

He made his bed.

11. The Obama legacy will be:

"I did not campaign on a Public Option"

He will join these other historical favorites:

"I am not a crook."

and

"I did not have sex with THAT woman".

Too bad really.
I had so much HOPE.

[tblue37]

12. You forgot: "Read my lips: No new taxes." nt

[bvar22]

13. Oh, Man...I missed that one.

Thanks....

Although that was more of a broken campaign promise,
not a direct LIE like "I didn't campaign on a Public Option."

Though you are correct in identifying that phrase as his most remembered verbal legacy.

[Thickasabrick]

14. Too cute!! nt

[dorkulon]

17. Betch?

Who you calling a betch, betch?

[BigBearJohn]

18. cute.

:pals:

[HughMoran]

19. Out with the Republicans - just a couple more Dem seats in the Senate would give a real majority

Sucks that we need 60 now, but if that's the case then let's work toward it.

[Mimosa]

20. People will die because Obama betrayed us

I know many of the nicest DUers insist Obama did the best he could, Reid did the best he could, Pelosi did the best she could.

This I cannot buy. I know how desperate people are out here in the real world.

I could imagine myself doing what this guy did because of medical costs and being a 'burden.'

In civilised countries people don't kill themselves because they are between medicaid and a hard place.
