ObamaCare: zigging and zagging.

In today's POLITICO, Mike Allen and Jim Vandehei describe the machinations of Obama to remake his message on health care:

Obama first zigged (said there would be no more public option, even sent Sec Sebelius to say it), then zagged 2 days later (when the NutRoots rebelled) and said that he never said what he said. Now Obama zigs again and tells us that the public option is no longer part of his plan. House members are quoted to have said that their members will demand the inclusion of a public insurance option. Obama has no plans to insist on it himself, the officials said. Nor has he plans to oppose them.

Shades of the Clinton triangulation. At every turn, Obama is shown to be a liar and a clumsy liar at that.
