    Anyone see the Frontline documentary "Obama's Deal" on PBS tonight?

    I think you can see it on www.pbs.org


    Really well put together and quite objective piece about what happened with healthcare reform. They should be showing this in classrooms.

    It is a sad depiction of the realities of the U.S. political system. The corruption is out of control. Obama navigated this game brilliantly, even though he made mistakes in the process. For me, the only question is what did he win? Political achievement for himself and for his party? Maybe. Whether the people benefitted at all is a huge question mark.
