With his lies, empty promises, business as usual politics he was able to fool enough folks to get elected.
Then we all thought with a Dem, so called populist POTUS and control of the house and senate there would be no stopping him from making his changes.
However that has not turned out to be the case. Our so called representatives in Washington never have done the will of the people.....but they are also not doing the will of this POTUS (mostly trying to save their butts vs anything else).
And now his so called "signature" piece of legislation....health care reform has not won the approval of the people...nor the senate...nor congress itself. Need proof? That the dems would need to consider reconciliation to pass it was enough to rile we the people and some of it's representatives certainly did not sway Obama and Pelosi to reconsider. To add insult to the injury now that it appears they may not have the votes for the reconciliation, another little know ploy is coming into play that does not require a vote from anybody for passage:

They are sinking lower and lower into the depths of dirty politics to achieve their agenda (which is what by the way?). If in Obama's word after his health care summit, he recognized how unpopular the reconciliation process was that he commented about the impact of coming elections....but was going to do it anyway. And now that the end run is not going to work, they are obviously going to try to get it passed any way possible...LIKE IT OR NOT.
In the face of over whelming adversity and looming election losses...WHY????
