Joe Lieberman and the Health Care Train Wreck

William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: "When last we heard from Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, he was throwing sand into the gears of the Democratic push for health care reform by declaring he would filibuster any legislation containing the so-called public option. 'I feel so strongly about the creation of another government health insurance entitlement,' said the senator back in November. 'The government going into the health insurance business - I think it's such a mistake that I would use the power I have as a single senator to stop a final vote.'"

The Democrats Blinked

Joe Conason, Truthout: "By bowing to Sen. Joseph Lieberman and his obstructive pals in both parties on health care reform, President Obama has confirmed what Republicans always say about Democrats: They simply aren't strong enough to govern. Or at least the Democrats elected last year -- and their colleagues in the Senate leadership -- don't seem to be."
