Did you see/hear him talk about ACA early in the week? I mean Charles Schumer - senior Democrat Senator from New York. Very relieving on its face but it could be a political ploy.He said Democrats misunderstood their mandate. It was about the economy and jobs jobs jobs. Instead they waisted energy on health care when 85% are covered through employers or others. Most of those are happy with what they have. That the law was to cover 9 million - yes significant number; buy should we disrupt everyone's to help the 9 million? These were his words - paraphrased though.2-things, both confirm my distrust of a typical politician.1st: If these are Schumer's sincere opinion - why didn't he listened to opposing views at the time or with due diligent thoroughly review the work of supporting consultants? These are exact same arguments the opposition has been making all through that legislative process. In fact after they loss the MA Senate seat to Scot Brown - Senate leader has employed a procedural maneuver to get the bill through. They argued the opposition are racist, hate women, don't care the 'little people'. What has changed Schumer? If someone in Schumer position can flip position in such a short spread - that's very telling.2nd: Or could it be Obama is politically a done deal and politics as usual continues - he's ready to tow another line. Likely Hillary! One way to start that is to begin to create a distance portraying better understanding of the needed of the people from his own wrings. Smart, if it works. If there is any lesson from Gruber tapes/videos - why should we believe any politicians and their frequently referenced technocrats.We've made politics a profession of 'anything goes'. It's shouldn't be - a very important profession that touches all.Burama¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://listserv.icors.org/archives/gambia-l.htmlTo Search in the Gambia-L archives, go to: http://listserv.icors.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ICORS.EXE?S1=gambia-l To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
