Obama and his administration are against pissing off the Republicans with a public option, so he's holding tight onto Olympia Snowe. 

He feels that holding her tightly will win him a bipartisan victory on healthcare.

He feels that he needs her because otherwise six or seven of those asshat Blue Dogs will turn coat, and we won't get the vote.

The public option is this close to being an opt out, as in, Obama will opt out of doing anything spectacular.

Have I got it right so far?

And, if so....how is this any different than the Right, so far?

(For a lady I know)

So many words, so many people

So much time on our hands

I understand

You'd think we'd be spending our days telling people

all of the things we've never shared before

(they'd think we should be spending our days reading

all of the things that we've read before)

At home, it's harder

to live with oneself

No one else

cats and paintings grow madder

Many a word unspoken, unread

unheard will never matter

We've made a lot of mistakes in our lives

sometimes caused our families strife

In our lives, with our little lies

We've helped many a loved one and they've done it back

and with family, it's not like they'd balk, after all

But it's hard sometimes to say flat out

I love you all

so you put up a wall

And now is simply not the time for walls

No, not the time at all
