This is the problem. The other person who announced he may filibuster is Bayh, who Obama almost made Veep (in the final 3 according to the new book). It is harder to trust Obama when he goes out of his way to defend the likes of Joe and Bayh, and hammers the progressive caucus over Afghanistan, but hasn't even spoken to Joe about the filibuster, according to Axelrod. There are very good reasons to wonder what Obama's agenda actually is.

Exactly. Not 11th dimensional chess but just down home Illinois political calculus. Try this:

  1. Assume Obama doesn't want universal health care, but recognizes that it is neccesary for the nomination.

  2. Also recognize that he can't be seen as not keeping his pledge.

  3. Obama meets with big Pharma (ala Cheney and the oil companies) and assures them their profits will continue at obscene levels.

  4. Obama calls in a favor from Lieberman who owes him big time. In a little political theater, Obama makes stirring speeches while Lieberman kills Health Care reform.  For "Godfather" fans, this is much like Michael renouncing Satan in Church at the baptism while his men are busy murdering his enemies. "No Connie, I did not kill your husband".

Trust me. It's very Illinois.

and l thought l was a cynic...that's a scary scenario.

who knows? the backroom deal with big pharma, and the subsequent death of the medicare+5 robust public option without a vote certainly give one pause.

the revolution will not be televised...

Sounds as if maybe the wheel has turned full circle once more.

All you old DFHs out there will remember this from the last round.
