I'm watching the end of a new wave of optimism go straight down the toilet.
Let's face it, the promise of 'getting the same Health Care that Congress gets', is rapidly disappearing like money at a craps table in Vegas.
I think it is safe to say, that things are getting sad......

Only Sen. Burris had a great notion that he'd join the filibuster, if it didn't have a public option in it (at least that is how we understood it in California).
The bailouts haven't kick started anything. Even the rising DJIA is just a minor smokescreen against the foreclosure backdrop. Regulation appears to be nothing more that a pat on the back to the current Wall St. executives who have now taken the AIG bailout(S) money and rebonused it back out to themselves.
Harry Reid is so wimpy he can't invoke cloture. The House Democrats are so wimpy they can't get single payer as the House version of the bill.
Guantanamo isn't closed 9 months later. Did someone forget about the US Bureau of Prisons? It was good enough for domestic terrorists in 1974, when it held Watergate burglers and the like.
We are still in Iraq, at about the level we were at in Jan. We are at or increasing troop strength in Afghanistan for I really can not see what. And now we are just bombing with drone planes. They are better off leafletting the cities with US dollar bills. That would get them some friends. We still have more contractors than soldiers. Profiteers.
No, I do not want these current versions of health care reform. You can not convince me anymore that it is better. You can not convince me the President deserved a Nobel Peace Prize. You can not convince me that the Republicans have any real answers either. They are as much a joke as Sarah Palin.
