Did We Just Get Sold Out?

David Sirota just twitter’d that the AP is reporting that the Obama Administration is willing to compromise on a Public Option.

Unreal.

I’m beyond words.  I’ve been hoping and praying that my assessment that Pres. Obama is intelligent and capable (vs. naive and incompetent), and that the fact that he hasn’t started playing tough offense is because he has a plan.  Now, it’s beginning to appear that this hope is the same as my (former) fervent hope that Mike “Genius” Shannahan was lulling the opponent into a sense of security, and into a trap.

Now, I’m beginning to think that I’m again a victim of wishful thinking.  And worse, I cannot but feel totally betrayed by an administration that promised change and then changed what he promised after we elected him.
