I'm kinda worried about this.  She sounds like she can't stand Obama, and can't see any kind of compromise with him and health care.

We'll just see.

I don't get that she cannot stand Obama.  She disagrees with his health plan.

I read that Obama and Elizabeth actually had a shouting match about his health care plan. Everyone's going to be parsing any statement from her extra-closely. It's kind of interesting.

Who wrote that?

By the way, I'm still waiting to see how any legislation that mandates that a citizen must buy private health insurance from a private company is constitutional. Do I get to vote on who's on the board of Humana? If not, it sounds like taxation without representation.

Better to go straight to a single-payer. You pay the government, the government hands out the payment to the providers, the insurance companies invest in oil.

I, for one, don't give two shits what Elizabeth Edwards thinks or says.  Why?  When has she held an office?  When has anything she's done impacted legislation?  She's nothing but a more higher profile nobody like me.  She ranked as Reason #2 on my list of Why I Won't Ever Vote for John Edwards.  The thing that's funny to me, is that it seems that Bill Clinton's turned into Elizabeth Edwards on the stump after the Potomac Primaries.  Yet, she's given unwarranted deference and he's called crazy.  I think they're both nuts.

I think they are both nuts too. For a long time I thought I was the only one who thought Elizabeth ... had problems.  

off topic:  lots of people are saying nice things about you in this thread.  Someone else probably already told you, but just in case they didn't ...

The guy is a private person. Read his book and you'll understand him more. People often mistake private people for being aloof or cold, when they're really just introspective.
