What is the one thing Republicans give Obama high marks for? Afghanistan. Does anyone here believe in this war? Polls show that Americans don't.
Funding health care is a legitimate problem. Afghanistan is an illegitimate war. These problems are linked. 

Labor is standing up for the public option. The sheet metal workers three weeks ago. The AFL-CIO most recently. So, are unions and working people the extreme left of the party that this president wants to talk down? How absurd. If this president doesn't stand up for the public option, he goes down in history as just another politician. Change we thought we could believe in.
