Kennedy vs. Nixon on Healthcare

[Trench]

This clip contains two segments, the first from 1971 and the second from 1974. Will Obama carry the torch for Ted or will he agree to a meaningless compromise where both sides claim victory but the American people gain little or nothing?

We'll get a clue Wednesday. I know that Obama would like to be "The Great Negotiator", but with Republicans he's negotiating with the business end of a skunk.

I'm hoping he grows a pair before Wednesday.

He should be reading Truman's book (did Harry actually write one?), drop the bomb, and fire MacArthur, teabaggers, birthers and other Republicans be damned.
