    I won’t pretend to be an expert on much of this, but I feel it’s wrong to say that he had the power to enact universal healthcare? Obama couldn’t even get a public option (which he wanted) because he had to make concessions to get a veto proof majority. I don’t see if this was the case that he had the power to enact full blown universal healthcare

      which he wanted

      Correction: He said he wanted it, but based on his actions, those words were just the usual empty politicking we’ve come to expect.
