Public option, over. Obama presidency, over. Democratic party, over. My support of Democrat party, over. America, over. Restraint of oligarchs and god-botherers, over.

one thing no one seems to say or think about is if the public option were to pass it would most likely be popular cheaper and work then the senators and obama would be seen as heros for centurys to come and the republicans as the paid off people they are
