Dean: "I'm not giving up on health-care reform. The legislation does have some good points"

[uponit7771]

"...To be clear, I'm not giving up on health-care reform. The legislation does have some good points,..."

"...Improvements can still be made in the Senate, and I hope that Senate Democrats will work on this bill as it moves to conference..."

Again, I pray SOMEONE in the White House pulls the adult card when it comes to Dean...it'd be better if he was VERY much for them vs. against them.

1. Yeah. I don't think Dean has done a single thing wrong here.

And I really hope that Obama personally reaches out to him.

The WH wants THIS bill, so clearly the WH hates America. nt

2. No one in this White House is capable of being an adult...

much less pulling a card about it.

3. ...we'll see, don't think continuing or even giving the appearance of continuing any back and forth

...with Dean is good.

4. The WH is standing with the insurance/pharma folks - which is why they...

...worked to kill drug reimportation.

We are lucky that Dean is speaking out; reiterating conversations that are going on between Dems all over this country.

Obama might get away with pushing this corporate bill through, but he won't get away unscathed. The base is onto him and he'd be wise to rethink his agenda and hit the refresh button so the next three years aren't wasted.
