quote:President Obama compromised too deeply with Republicans and industry lobbyists on this matter.
I agree that it was reported that he made lots of deals with lobbyists, but Republicans?
There was not ONE Republican who voted for that legislation. Obama did not compromise with Republicans. They had to jettison single-payer to get enough DEMOCRATS to vote for it.
How do you compromise with Republicans and not get ONE vote in return?
Are they trying to rewrite history already?
