Actually what I have been hearing is that the Administration intentionally put the word out to see what kind of blow back they would get and appearently they received a lot so...

oh ok, it was deception. A fine liberal tactic. I got it now.

I don't give the Administration that much credit. I think it's more of a case of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing. However, if it was an intentional miscue to gauge blowback, they certainly got their answer.

Against whom is she pushing back? Conservatives applauded the administration's retreat on the public option. The flack they got was from the left wing of their own party. So this is not a "push back". It's a surrender to the loons on their left flank. And the loons will take the whole thing down with them.

Yes they did. For those of us who want National healthcare there can be no compromise on the public option. Any democrat voting against it, see ya!
