Bait and switch being the operative term.
What else can you call it? On the campaign trail, the One makes cases for Single Payer. After the first one hundred, it morphed to the Public Option. Now that's morphed into Insurance Co-Operatives that require everyone to buy health insurance and pay taxes on the insurnace they've bought to pay for the benefits.
Sort of like the Iraq War, which the One was going to end. Which he "ended" by pulling troops out of the cities to guard the oilfields and the bases. Not out of Iraq, mind you. There are pretty much as many Americans there now as there have ever been.
And the good war in Afghanistan is escalating drastically.
Tiabbi's right.
But what he doesn't see is that the Village will blame the fall of a centrist Obama squarely on the progressives, not on Obama's abandonment of most of the promises he made to get to the White House.
