Democracy Now! looks at the slight differences between Clinton and Obama on domestic issues such as the economy, the housing crisis, social security, health care, and nuclear power. Discussing their stances are Robert Kuttner of the American Prospect, Max Fraser of The Nation, and Paul Gunter of Beyond Nuclear.
Notice the disgusting grin on Clinton’s face when she acknowledges that single-payer health care is a system “a lot of people favor, but for many reasons, is difficult to achieve.” Um, the only ones making it difficult is fuckers like you. Out of all the Democratic candidates, it’s simply disgusting that Dennis Kucinich was the only one who endorsed a universal single-payer not-for-profit system.
Parts 2 and 3 and available below the fold
Why is Obama pretending like the jury is still out on nuclear power, and Clinton holding on to the possibility that some yet-to-be-invented technology will make it safe? We’ve known exactly what the dangers are for decades. Their arguments are dishonest at best.

I talked about this over at my blog today and a compromise may be the best thing we can get if either Obama or Clinton is elected.

Obama’s health care plan just continues the “free market” approach to health care. It won’t lead to universala health care and it won’t guarantee health care to those that want or need it.
.
Hillary’s plan according to Krueger of the NY Times will insure more people.
Nevertheless, neither Hillary or Obama have the guts or the leadership to pull off single payer health care. That’s why they aren’t “heroes” for me….
