Assunto: Re: Absolute rubbish. He was ELECTED by the people of America on the basis of his policies as stated before the election.
Artful Dodger: His speech seemed to clearly OUTLINE his plans for the healthcare system.. He clearly stated that he would be tackling the healthcare system before he was elected.
A certain amount of problems that ALL politicians face before being elected is being able to have full access to the government depts.
Did you listen to his speech in full?
"But key democrats say that a government option IS THE LOGICAL STEPPING STONE to a single payer system."
All politicians are entitled to their opinion... but they are not the CEO. Like that Conservative MEP getting dosh spouting about the NHS.. His CEO of the Conservative party here in the UK totally rejects his opinion as being based on fact.
So in fact.. he was elected on the outline of his plans, such is normal politics that they need development, as he has been doing consulting with people from left, right and centre which can only be done after getting into office!!
This is just the way things work in government, most democratic societies work this way.
