The Special Relationship is a phrase often used to describe the exceptionally close political, diplomatic, cultural and historical relations between the United States and the United Kingdom. This is the catching up and discussion blog of two friends, one black, one white, living on either side of the Atlantic.
Obama Healthcare Compromise
The healthcare bill to be perfectly honest is totally unacceptable on many levels, and in my opinion Obama made compromises because he thinks that the public and the right will respect him more, for compromising, but he just appears weak, and the bill is weaker than water. Firstly, and most importantly there was supposed to be a public option, (everyone now has to get health insurance, like car insurance), but not everyone can afford it, the public option was supposed to be for those people that really couldn't afford it, and it has been scrapped because Repugnants and moderate Dems wouldn't support it. The joke of it is that Republicans called for these compromises, Dems co-operated and NOT ONE Repub. in either house voted for it, so why compromise in the first place?
