Obama gives up his hole card ... again

Obama shows a pattern, doesn't he? The failure to fight for the public option in health care ... especially onerous when we consider that he had the single payer option to use as leverage ... and he gave it all up for a health care program that is the insurance companies dream.

And now it's the failure to fight for an end to the Bush tax cuts for the rich when he has the leverage of not ending the tax cuts for the middle class.

Did someone say Obama played poker? Couldn't have, at least not very well. He keeps giving up his hole card before the betting even starts.

On the other hand, thank you, Madam Speaker! Thank you for showing some backbone in the face of President Obama's tossing in the towel.

Hallelujah! Maybe we won't be saddled with the tax cuts for the rich after all ... especially onerous after being saddled with bailing their butts out.

"We" as in "we the workers" in this country.
