Maddow: Public Option Dying Because Of Dems' Political Collapse (VIDEO)
Posted using ShareThis
Even if Obama actually wanted to extend the right to health care to all Americans (as opposed to simply lining the pockets of his campaign contributors), aren't there real limits to what any chief executive can do - no matter how charismatic or ambitious- in the face of an entrenched bureaucracy? What Maddow and others seem to miss (or are not allowed to say on television) is that the system is incapable of meaningful reform.
My view is that LBJ only got what he got because he knew how to work the system and was willing concede foreign policy in exchange for the domestic legislation he wanted.
