If Obama had been hijacked by the left, we'd have public option health care, or some other form of working health care solution

We'd also have seen Don't Ask Don't Tell be defeated by that court that said it was unconstitutional. It's just going to happen again despite the intransigience of the "filibuster everything" Republicans

On a related note to that, they should make the people who threaten to filibuster go through with actually speaking. They shouldn't just be able to threaten it and force the stupid cloture vote

They didn't have enough of a majority for a Public Option and you know it.  Heck, a lot of the democarts who voted for it weren't enthused about it... the fact that they had the healthcare debate at that time was proof of the hijacking.

As for Don't ask don't tell, you can't "not" fight a law being unconstutional, even if you don't like that law, heck you should know that.  Otherwise you've politisized ruined the entire Justice Department... which is something Obama is already facing a lawsuit about.
