The left is certainly not happy with Obama’s caving on the public option:

And they aren’t particularly happy with the Senate. Even the House Democrats have had it with the Senate.What a mess! ObamaCare is getting hit from the left and the right. Sen. Bernie Sanders isn’t going to vote for the final bill unless changes are made (he doesn’t say he’ll support the filibuster though). The unions are still upset over the tax on “Cadillac insurance plans” (which they realize means their health care insurance). The left are demanding that the individual mandate by taken out now that there is no public option and are livid over the deal with big pharma that means drugs can’t be imported here from other countries. The Republicans are trying to stall voting for the bill until after Christmas. And they may get their wish. Casey and Nelson are trying to work out a compromise on the abortion language (but the pro-life groups aren’t happy with it), (looks like pressuring him the Chicago way didn’t work so now they have to compromise, though Nelson claims the story is not true). And Pelosi is looking at just getting the framework passed (so much for her demand that it have the public option or else). If this train wreck makes it into the station, it will be an amazing accomplishment but it’s going to tick off a large percentage of the population.
