Well now Helen Thomas
just said I have it about right. She says Obama still has time. Maybe, but I have a feeling the Democratically controlled Congress screwed this up for him so badly we'll go on and on as ever - with Rube Goldberg fixes on a flawed employer-based model. There is absolutely no excuse for failing to have a working agenda on this.

(I only disagree with her in that I think there are good options beside single payer, but it's pretty much moot.)
