so Feingold is right... it doesn't make sense... the rationale is hidden...”

Harkins - "Well, he didn't mention either abortion or the public option," said Harkin, a strong backer of the public option and a chairman of the health committee. "He just laid out in very stark terms for us what the future would be if we didn't pass [health care reform]. I think he's right. I think it would be devastating. Not just for us as a party, I think for the hope that people have that we're going to actually make these changes. To fail at this would just again be another one of those things where people say, 'See, Washington doesn't work. Washington can't get anything done. We gave the Democrats all that power and nothing happens.' And it would be depressing to people. We want to be more hopeful, we want to give people hope. So I thought his message on that was right on target."”

“"Well, it was interesting to me -- of course everybody hears with their own ears -- that he didn't say anything about the public option," said Lieberman. "In other words, when he outlined how far we've come on the bill, he talked about the cost-containment provisions; he talked about the insurance market reforms; and he talked about enabling 30 million more people to get insurance. He said these are historic accomplishments, the most significant social legislation, or whatever you call it, in decades, so don't lose it."

Lieberman is hearing that there is definitely room to compromise on the public option.”

“Reid told reporters not to read too much into Obama's silence on the issue. "That doesn't mean it's not an issue, because the president didn't talk about it," said Reid.

This may be true, but it is indicative of a closed-door, silent approach to policy-making. It's difficult to know exactly who's interests are being considered.”
