Tomorrow our President will eulogize this nation's foremost proponent of nationalized health care days before Congress returns to debate the fate of current reform legislation. I'm sure many of us would love to hear Obama voice a full-throated endorsement of the public option at that time - properly identifying it as the best tribute to Ted Kennedy and the best means to galvanize supporters of health reform. Certainly many conservatives fear this as evinced by their synchronized whining in the last few days.

I predict now that this won't happen - and for good reason. If he did this, the wisdom and tact of that decision would become the focus of news coverage and the President's endorsement itself would be sullied (we can count on our corporate newsmen to make sure of that). However, I still hold out hope that we will hear Obama's voice raised in support of the public option tomorrow in Boston.

All those wishing to exculpate Christianity for the death of Dr. Tiller (or Islam for the deaths of those lost on 9/11; or Israelites for forcibly ejecting the Canaanites from their ancestral homes, etc.), please join me in the following thought experiment.
