You and the American people are smarter than that.

That's a pretty common remark after or during a particularly ugly or messy fight. It's called sarcasm.

Your right, the sarcasm was meant for Obama after doing everything in his
power to get his HC passed before it could be debated, then saying,
"The debate had been good", like that's what he wanted.

Passing HC, imho, is what he wants to hang his hat on.

It will be interesting to hear what he has to say at the joint meeting of Congress.

After the joint session address, they'll circle the wagons and pass something - they've got enough democrats to push something through.

Ya Joe, i think something will come to pass, but the public option
puts Obama between a rock and a hard place with the leftist Dems,
Pelosi et al on one side and the blue dogs on the other.

It's only a year in, but if he wants to be considered for a chance in 2012, siding with the blue dogs will be the correct bet.
