Mr. President, I hope you realize that you're the best at excersizing Checks & Balances according to the U.S. Constitution. What I inferred from this debacle you're facing within your own Democratic Party is you have come to understand ...that a public option has little ground to stand on its own but THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX for the Finance Committee to push a bill through the senate is a strategic choice that deserves praise. Justice Souter says it best, Americans need education on the U.S. Constitution and my emphasis is they should also think for themselves and hold their lawmakers within their own states accountable through critical thinking and sound judgment. My question for you is this - Republicans certainly are not on your side and the Democrats seem uncertain about their political future, in my opinion, due to their schizophrenic public option agenda, would you take it to them before it's too late and say that they have to exercise practicality and not ideology in order for them to win some of the deals out of HealthCare Reform?

People should STOP the madness and fixation over HealthCare Public Option (or Universality) and what we should talk about is the crafted Co-Op bill Congress is negotiating! My point is there's no legitimate debate or smart, critical thinking out of an issue neither democrats nor republicans actually understand. Where are the figures in terms of costs and/or practicality to back either one of them? I don't see any of it except for that they share sad stories about ordinary Americans who have been exploited by health insurance companies and they share the same Tax Enough, Already! (TEA) party tactics ordinary republicans surround themselves with. What these people in Washington and the American people are ought to do is get their heads out of their butts and think in terms of a resolution to the growing deficits this Obama Administration is facing over a range of issues - two wars, higher unemployment rates, and above all, the pundits of Cable News channels who seem to share nothing valuable to Americans?
