Does Obama have a plan (or a clue) ???

For nearly two years while running for President and almost one year since winning that election, Obama has made numerous references to his health care plan. Of course, his "plan" was whatever legislation came out of Congress. But his party's far left leadership couldn't help themselves and, misreading anti-Bush sentiment as socialist mandate, overreached.

But now, finally, he will deign to tell us what he actually wants in a health care bill. And it looks like the public option may soon join Rev. Wright, Obama's granny and several others under the Obama bus:

Obama is considering detailing his health-care demands in a major speech as soon as next week, when Congress returns from the August recess. And although House leaders have said their members will demand the inclusion of a public insurance option, Obama has no plans to insist on it himself, the officials said.

What does Obama really want. I take him at his word when he said in the past that he wants a single payer system. But he will settle for anything that can be called a legislative victory.
